Joseph Quinn shares awkward encounter with Taylor Swift

Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn revealed an incredibly awkward encounter he had with Taylor Swift. According to the actor, he is still haunted by his conversation with the pop star.

While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, Joseph Quinn was asked about cringe-worthy moments since his breakout role on the Netflix series. To which Quinn replied, “Most of it, yes,” Quinn joked. “There’s stuff that comes out of your mouth … when you’re caught off guard, there’s quite a lot to cringe about.”

“I met Taylor Swift once,” he continued. “She was very funny. She said something nice about the show, and I said, ‘Oh, thanks. You’re Taylor Swift’ — meant as a compliment. I remember thinking, ‘That was f—ing stupid.’ But she was very good-humored about it.”

The Quiet Place star then joked that he and Swift are working on scheduling studio time together. Though, with Taylor Swift anything is possible. She previously worked with Quinn’s Stranger Things co-star Sadie Sink for her “All To Well” music video. Sadie, who plays Max on Stranger Things, starred alongside Dylan O’Brien for the video.

Plus, co-star Joe Keery — who makes music under the stage name Djo, known for “End of Beginning” — was once spotted at the same studio as Swift. Though he later clarified that their overlap was purely coincidental, he did tease on The Tonight Show in December that it may have “generated something in the universe.”
