Olivia Wilde responds to backlash over Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce comment: ‘Meant no harm’
Olivia Wilde is waving a white flag after Swifties slammed the actress for making a dig at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance.
“I meant no harm,” Wilde told paparazzi as she left the Studio City, Calif., farmer’s market Sunday.
“It’s obviously a comment on how much attention gets paid to stupid things,” the “Don’t Worry Darling” star, 39, added before getting into her vehicle.
Wilde was speaking on the feathers she ruffled last week after reposting a tweet to her Instagram Story about the new couple’s romance.
The tweet — which read “I wish Taylor Swift was in love with a climate scientist” — had fans of the “Cruel Summer” songstress up in arms, dubbing Wilde a “hypocrite” and pointing out her own dating history.
“Didn’t she date Harry Styles or am I missing something,” one user noted via X, formerly Twitter, calling out Wilde’s past relationship with the musician.
“Lmao and what has Olivia Wilde done for climate change??? Literally nothing,” a second wrote on X, further calling the “House” star a “hypocrite.”

However, not everyone took the actress’ Instagram Story to heart, including one X user who wrote that Wilde’s post was “obviously” a “joke.”
“The point was that nobody is doing s—t for the environment. And most definitely not celebrities,” the user added.
Of course, the tweet — originally tweeted by “Westworld” star Katja Herbers — is referring to the “Lavender Haze” singer’s highly publicized romance with her new NFL beau.
Their romance started brewing on Sept. 24 when Swift, 33, was spotted in the VIP Box at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium watching the Chiefs play alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna.
Then, on Saturday night, Swift and Travis, 34, proudly displayed their new relationship by walking hand-in-hand before grabbing dinner in NYC ahead of their surprise “Saturday Night Live” joint appearance.
The duo were even spotted locking lips at the “SNL” afterparty that evening.
“Travis and Taylor seemed to really be enjoying the night, and each other, even kissing throughout the night,” an insider exclusively told Page Six Sunday.
“Everyone was in a great mood and having a great time. [Taylor] was seen chatting it up with the night’s musical guest, Ice Spice, and her friends.”
One thing is for sure, all eyes are on Traylor as this whirlwind romance unfolds.
