DALLAS - Actor and apparent Taylor Swift pen pal John Travolta wants you to know that he didn't accidentally mistake a drag queen for the real-life star while presenting at the MTV Video Music Awards on Monday. Travolta found himself in the center of yet another viral award show moment on Monday night when some viewers claimed the actor may have mistaken Taylor Swift impersonator Jade Jolie for the actual singer while on stage.

Travolta said he tries to have "a sense of humor" about his various headline-making actions, from his haircuts to that viral moment at the 2014 Oscars when he accidentally referred to Idina Menzel as "Adele Dazeem."
