Earlier this month, Olivia Wilde posted a joke about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to her Instagram stories and received immediate backlash from Swifties.

Now, the actor is clarifying that she "meant no harm" by the post.

Wilde had reshared a joke in reference to all the attention the "Traylor" romance has been receiving.

The joke, originally posted by Katja Herbers, read:

“I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist.”

Soon after, Swiftie outrage ensued.

A few people seemed to understand that Wilde meant climate change could use the platform.


Some fans warned Wilde to leave the couple alone, and joked about her failed romance with Harry Styles.



On Monday, Wilde responded to the backlash she received online, telling the Daily Mail:

“I meant no harm."
"It’s obviously a comment on how much attention gets paid to stupid things.”

Even after Wilde's clarification, though, people were still split.

Some Swifties were unwilling to forgive the comments made about the singer.




But others agreed it was a harmless joke that was in no way intended to bash the couple.




While we understood the intent of the joke, we also understand that no one is safe from the wrath of Swifties.

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
