Joseph Quinn, our beloved Eddie Munson from Stranger Things, had a fangirl moment with none other than Taylor Swift! Yes, you heard it right. Buckle up for a story that’s as awkward as it is hilarious.
So, picture this: Joseph, now a big-shot actor in A Quiet Place: Day One, finds himself face-to-face with the superstar singer. He spills the beans on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, and boy, is it a treat!
“I met Taylor Swift once,” Joseph begins, probably sweating more than Eddie Munson did during his epic guitar solo. “And I said, ‘You’re Taylor Swift.’” Groundbreaking, right? We can only assume Taylor was thinking, “Wow, this guy’s got a knack for stating the obvious!”
Taylor, ever the queen of handling awkward moments, threw him a bone. “She said something nice about the show [Stranger Things],” Joseph recalls. And our hero? He fumbled like a kid meeting Santa for the first time. “‘Oh, thanks. You’re Taylor Swift. I mean it as a compliment,’” he stammered. Somewhere, Shakespeare wept.
Joseph goes on, laughing at his past self. “It’s definitely a compliment, and I remember thinking like that was f—ing stupid.” But hey, if you’re gonna embarrass yourself, might as well do it in front of a pop icon, right?
Despite the awkward exchange, Joseph assures us he’s still on “great terms” with Taylor. In fact, he jokes that he’s set to feature on one of her upcoming albums. We can only imagine the title: “Awkward Encounters and Swift Recoveries.”
Even rising stars have their cringey moments. Next time you embarrass yourself, just remember: at least you didn’t tell Taylor Swift she’s Taylor Swift… twice.
