Adam Sandler stole the spotlight at the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere—and not just because of his iconic golf swing. In a delightful chat with press at the New York City premiere on July 21, Sandler offered affectionate praise for the high‑profile couple whose own red‑carpet chemistry has been capturing hearts everywhere: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Here’s the full scoop on their sweet date—and what Sandler had to say:
1. A premiere date to remember 💑
Sandler, basking in premiere energy, couldn’t resist gushing about Swift and Kelce, referring to them as “ridiculously nice and warm.” He praised Kelce as “a great actor and a great human,” adding that working with him on the film brought back memories of old friends and high‑school camaraderie
2. Golfer meets glam—and family approval
Beyond Kelce’s cameo (more on that below), Sandler shared how Swift made an impression off-screen. He recounted how she has always been “so damn nice” to his daughters Sadie (19) and Sunny (16), whom she first greeted with a warm hug at Swift’s Eras Tour film premiere in 2023 . That maternal affirmation resonated deeply: Sandler admitted he sometimes “gets a little jumpy” around Swift, just wanting to set a good example for his kids
3. Kelce steals the show (and Sandler’s respect)
Kelce, making an acting debut as a hotel employee, impressed the comedian big-time. He called the NFL star “a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” adding, “Travis and Bunny are ridiculous in it,” referring to Bad Bunny—another notable cameo . Sandler’s excitement was palpable: “He’s like the guys I grew up with… a great actor, solid as a rock.”
4. A sequel built on family, fun & cameos
Happy Gilmore 2 hits Netflix on July 25, 2025, bringing back fans’ favorite characters (Happy Gilmore, Shooter McGavin, Virginia Venit) and adding new faces like Kelce, Bad Bunny, Benny Safdie—and even cameo spots for pro golfers like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler . Sandler also confirmed that Kelce’s role was born out of personal enthusiasm: Kelce wanted to be in the sequel, and Sandler gladly wrote him into the script
5. Love, kindness, and a little Swiftie magic

When asked if Taylor Swift might join the film, Sandler beamed, “Everybody loves her,” but admitted they “didn’t want to bother Taylor—we just let Taylor entertain the world like she does.” He also admitted he and his daughters listened to All Too Well “three times in a row,” calling her efforts to “do a lot for our planet” admirable
