Taylor Swift loved her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, and she has no problem revealing exactly why.
Swift, 35, shared the film’s poster via her Instagram Story on Friday, July 25, with a caption that only those who have seen the movie will understand.
“Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!” she wrote underneath. “An absolute must watch 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanely possible. 🍯.”
Yes, that’s a honey emoji. For those who haven’t seen it, Kelce appears in a dream sequence in which Oscar, played by Bad Bunny, imagines his “happy place” (IYKYK). Kelce, 35, is there, shirtless, as Oscar covers him in honey.
“What is this? Is this about the job? Come on,” Kelce, referring to getting Oscar fired earlier in the film, asks as Oscar seductively slathers the honey over him. A bear then appears and attacks the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he screams for help.
“I’m happy now,” Oscar says after his fantasy.
“You were thinking about a bear eating that waiter, weren’t you? Was there honey involved?” Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) asks with a smile, to which Oscar replies, “Un poquito,” or, “a little.”
Though the fantasy sequence didn’t work out well for Kelce, he has gushed about the opportunity to work on Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to Sandler’s 1996 golf comedy, which hit Netflix on Wednesday.
“That was a dream come true. I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career,” he said in a January appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain.”
“They’re so professional and yet so fun to work with. I felt like I was working with, like, the Andy Reid of the acting world,” he added, referring to the Chiefs coach. “[Sandler] is every bit as cool off the screen as he is on the screen. That was a dream come true. That was awesome.”

As for Sandler, 58, he joked during an August 2024 episode of Travis and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast that the whole movie came to be because he wanted an excuse to work with Travis.
“We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally, like, six months ago,” he said. “We were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be. Just a badass.’”
Happy Gilmore 2 is on Netflix now.
