Read full article: John Travolta offers positive spin on perceived VMAs flub

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. In a conversation with Dallas-area radio station Hot 93.3, "The Fanatic" star explained that wasn't the case. While presenting Swift the award for Video of the Year, he said the interaction with Jolie spotted by viewers was one of confusion, not mistaken identity. 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."
