Taylor Swift Had The Most Adorable Review For Happy Gilmore 2

by

When you’re as renowned and adored as Taylor Swift, who doesn’t require an introduction (but for those who’ve been asleep for 20 years, she is a highly successful and celebrated singer-songwriter in the music industry), people listen when you talk. Not only that, but they also listen when you step out from one of your numerous elegant homes during a well-deserved break after concluding the worldwide Eras Tour in 2024 on Instagram. So, what did Swift share or do this time?

She didn’t unveil a 12th original studio album or create an internet sensation like she did when, in May 2025, she disclosed that she had bought back the master recordings for her first six albums as part of a re-recording project called “Taylor’s Version.” (If you need more context, Billboard has a helpful explanation.) Instead, Swift commended her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, for his minor yet amusing appearance in “Happy Gilmore 2,” which one could argue was possible due to the heightened recognition that Kelce gained following their relationship.

On her Instagram account, Taylor Swift shared a story about watching “Happy Gilmore 2” and said it had her laughing and cheering throughout the entire movie. She highly recommends it (13/10), suggesting viewers stream it immediately on Netflix. Swift added a honey pot emoji, referencing a scene where Bad Bunny’s character fantasizes about covering Taylor’s character’s boss in honey and letting a bear loose on him – a nod to her popular number 13 and her consistent brand image.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been in the public eye together since 2023

The tale of how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce became acquainted is now the stuff of folklore. It all began when Kelce attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Kansas City during July 2023. On a podcast he shares with his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, known as “New Heights”, Travis revealed that he had intended to give Taylor his phone number using a friendship bracelet, but due to vocal rest, she didn’t meet fans after the show. The idea for the friendship bracelet stemmed from lyrics in one of Swift’s songs, and fans made them en masse at concerts as a result.

In a 2023 Time Person of the Year interview, Taylor Swift shared that it was Travis’s charming mention on his podcast which initially caught her interest. She later explained their timeline to Sam Lansky: “Travis publicly acknowledged me on his podcast, and I thought it was incredibly cool. We started spending time together shortly after that. In fact, we had a good deal of private time before people became aware, which I’m thankful for because it allowed us to get to know each other better.” Furthermore, Swift spoke about her attendance at Kansas City Chiefs games that fall: “By the time I attended the first game, we were already a couple. Some may think they witnessed our first date at that game, but truthfully, we wouldn’t be reckless enough to stage a first date in such a public manner.

In 2024, when Kelce and the Chiefs clinched the Super Bowl victory, Swift was there to rejoice with her significant other. Interestingly, she also provided comfort the subsequent year when the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, despite making it to their fourth Super Bowl since 2020. (Kelce has a total of three Super Bowl rings, while Swift boasts 14 Grammy Awards as of now.) Despite his long-standing football stardom, dating Swift undeniably brought more public attention to Kelce, and possibly facilitated some acting opportunities for him.

Both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have taken time away from their main gigs to dabble in acting

It can be safely concluded that both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are exceptionally accomplished individuals who continue to thrive in their respective fields. To put it casually, they’re making the most of their opportunities. Although his 2024-2025 season wasn’t his best, Kelce is widely recognized as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history and appears destined for the Hall of Fame. As for Taylor Swift, she’s none other than Taylor freakin’ Swift! Despite their busy schedules, they’ve managed to branch out into acting as a secondary venture.

It’s important to note that Kelce has excelled in his acting roles, particularly in projects like “Grotesquerie” and “Happy Gilmore 2,” despite having a limited number of opportunities. In contrast, Swift has faced challenges with films such as “Valentine’s Day” and “Cats.” Both have demonstrated their talents on the “Saturday Night Live” stage at Studio 8H, and in the summer of 2024, Kelce collaborated with Swift during her London shows for an Eras Tour gag. He “assisted” her onstage alongside dancers Kameron Saunders and Jan Ravnik as she moved from “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which were part of the set dedicated to Swift’s 2024 album “The Tortured Poets Department.” Interestingly, this album includes two songs that are thought to be about Kelce: “The Alchemy” and “So High School.

Instead of asking Taylor Swift to join her dog’s boyfriend in “Happy Gilmore 2,” as Adam Sandler had pondered, he opted not to disturb her, expressing admiration for her contributions to the world. “We didn’t want to bother Taylor,” Sandler explained to Yahoo! News. “She’s doing great entertaining the world, and I even played ‘All Too Well’ three times in a row with my kid today.” Sandler and his daughters Sadie and Sunny, who both feature in the sequel, are avid Swifties. “They love Taylor,” Sandler confirmed. “Travis is such a nice guy that he wanted to be involved. So we wrote something for Travis, and when he agreed, yes, my girls were thrilled, including my wife. Everyone adores him.

Undeniably, Swift enjoys and appreciates his performance in “Happy Gilmore 2”, a movie currently streaming on Netflix. Given her enthusiastic recommendation, it’s likely that Swift fans (Swifties) are eager to watch the film on Netflix, as she urged them to do so “as soon as possible”.
