Adam Sandler will always be a devoted Swiftie. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight about new movie Happy Gilmore 2, in which Travis Kelce makes a cameo, the actor-comedian only had kind things to say about the tight end and his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The topic of Swift first came up when Sandler was asked whether his daughters –19-year-old Sadie and 16-year-old Sunny, whom he shares with wife Jackie — got the chance to meet the pop star while Kelce was on set of the Happy Gilmore sequel. “They have met, and Taylor’s incredible,” the Sand Man replied.
“Taylor’s so damn nice to my family and has always been,” he continued. “She’s ridiculously nice to them and warm, and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. Funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with.”
Sandler has long been open about his family’s love for Swift. In February 2024, he confessed to Conan O’Brien that the 14-time Grammy winner is a rare celebrity around whom he still gets “jumpy,” purely because of how much she means to his girls.
Later that year — shortly after Sandler announced that Travis would appear in Happy Gilmore 2 — the Grown Ups actor echoed those thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs star’s New Heights podcast with Jason Kelce. “I love what she had to say … what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life,” Sandler said at the time. “I do get nervous around Taylor Swift, because I don’t want to f–king blow it for my kids and say something stupid.”
And in an interview with Billboard last August, Sandler revealed his favorite song of Swift’s. “Everything [my two daughters] throw on I love, but one of the first ones they threw on when they were young was ‘The Best Day,’” he said. “We connected with that when the kids were young. Every album, we listen the first day it comes out. There’s not a song they don’t know every word to.”
Featuring Travis Kelce and also starring Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller, Happy Gilmore 2 will premiere July 25 on Netflix.
