Jennifer Coolidge is giving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their Sydney Zoo date … even though she says PETA is right to disapprove.
The “White Lotus” star was at LAX when a photog asked her about Taylor and Travis’ controversial date idea, which is drawing PETA’s ire.

Jennifer says the lovebirds should get a pass for a few reasons … she doesn’t think they put a lot of thought into going to the zoo and were just looking for something romantic to do together.
A big PETA supporter herself, Jennifer says Taylor and Travis seem like fellow animal lovers … and isn’t going to condemn them here. She’s kinda walking a fine line here — huge fan, but also … big animal lover.
As we reported … PETA says the famous couple should look elsewhere the next time they’re in the mood to be around animals, suggesting they hit up an animal sanctuary instead of a zoo.
PETA also took issue with the couple feeding a kangaroo at the Sydney Zoo … saying it was harmful to the animal to do that.

Jennifer’s stopping short of calling out Taylor and Travis too hard … but says she ultimately agrees with whatever PETA says on the matter. It’s pretty funny to see her wrestle with this dilemma on camera … you can tell she loves them, and doesn’t wanna slam ’em.
Bottom line … Jennifer seems to be taking a more diplomatic approach than some.
