John Travolta has, once again, proven that he is the only man we should trust with presenting awards. We’ve only just recovered from the legendary actor’s blunder at the 2014 Oscars — where he introduced performer Idina Menzel as ‘Adele Dazeem’. Now, old Johnny has done it again.

During the award ceremony, Travolta was tasked with presenting an award to Taylor Swift after she took out Video Of The Year for her song ‘You Need To Calm Down’. Unfortunately, Travolta got his wires crossed, and attempted to had the award to a lookalike drag queen who appeared in the video. Check out footage of the incredible incident below.

The queen of the moment was RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Jade Jolie — one of the many stars that made a cameo in Swift’s LGBTQ championing clip.

It was a fruitful evening for Swift, who also took home the award for Video for Good for ‘We Need To Calm Down.’ You can check out her performance from the evening below.
