August 03, 2025: The internet is buzzing with a new theory: Did Taylor Swift make a secret cameo in Adam Sandler’s new film, Happy Gilmore 2? Although her name doesn’t appear in the official credits, fans are convinced the pop superstar made a surprise appearance, with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, featuring prominently in the film.
The Mystery of the Bear
The speculation began after Netflix shared a behind-the-scenes video from the film, which features Travis Kelce in a scene where he is attacked by a bear. Kelce, who plays a waiter, gets covered in honey and is then chased by the animal. In the clip, a person in a bear suit is seen interacting with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
One user playfully commented on the video, suggesting, “They should’ve dressed Taylor as a bear for an epic surprise.” Netflix’s cryptic response—a side-eye emoji—sent fans into a frenzy. This subtle hint has fueled the belief that Swift, who has been largely out of the public eye since the end of her Eras Tour, was the person inside the bear costume.
While neither Sandler nor Swift has confirmed the theory, it’s well-known that Sandler is a big fan of the “Love Story” singer. In a past appearance on Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the actor praised Swift’s influence and even joked about his own nervousness around her. “I do get nervous around Taylor Swift, because I don’t want to f**king blow it for my kids and say something stupid,” he said.
With Travis Kelce’s role confirmed and the fun online exchange with Netflix, the possibility of a secret Swift cameo has fans eagerly rewatching the scene, looking for any clues that might prove their theory.
