With Travis Kelce making a memorable cameo in the film, netizens have been quick to weigh in on how Taylor Swift praised ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ with hilarious nod to Travis Kelce’s cameo, and reactions are every bit as wild as the honey‑soaked bear gag in the movie.

What netizens are saying about Swift’s review and the Kelce cameo

After Swift shared her enthusiastic review, fans flooded social media and forums with hilarious comments. Some users wondered,

“when did she become an accredited movie critic?”

Others were playful and cheeky:

“how much did they pay her to say this…”.

Swifties seemed ready to mobilize:

“swifties are about to take over the cinemas now😭😭”.

Then there were those who found the whole thing low‑key cringe: they quoted

“had me cackling”, then added “she’s so corny..”.

On Reddit, the context added even more color. One commenter wrote:

"Just saw this and ran here. What on earth?!"

And a savvy fan summarized:

"Travis has a cameo in the movie. Margaret Qualley (Jack's wife) is in it as well. Taylor likes this type of immature humor though."

Clearly, Taylor Swift’s glowing 13/10 sign‑off is being dissected from every angle. Some fans see it as genuine enthusiasm for Happy Gilmore 2, while sceptics suspect fan loyalty and rom‑com optics. In between tweets and threads, everyone seems to agree: the moment Taylor gave a honey‑pot emoji nod to Kelce’s bizarre bear‑and‑honey dream sequence, things got unforgettable.

It is worth noting how figures like Taylor Swift being stitched into such discussions will always impact fan reception. While some are convinced that Taylor’s stamp of approval will skyrocket the viewership, others mock the scene itself and its execution, or question why Swift even weighed in. But nearly everyone agrees: the reaction has launched Happy Gilmore 2 into the spotlight in a way few Netflix releases manage on day one.

Happy Gilmore 2: The movie behind the cameo

Happy Gilmore 2 premiered on Netflix on July 25, 2025, arriving 30 years after the original cult‑hit. The return of Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore finds him coming out of retirement to support his daughter’s ballet dreams. Original cast members Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller reprise their roles, while a slew of cameos ranging from pro golfers like Rory McIlroy to rappers, sports figures, and yes, Travis Kelce joins the fun.

Critics and viewers are split. Sandler himself praised Kelce’s comedic instincts, calling him “a gentle, funny as hell guy” and joking that he reminded him of old high‑school buddies. But reactions online aren’t so forgiving. Fans have slammed the film’s flat cinematography and jarring color grading, some even joked that Eminem looked jaundiced. The visual inconsistency has overshadowed the star‑packed cast for many.

That said, Travis Kelce’s cameo has been a highlight. He plays a strict restaurant boss until entering one of the most absurd dream sequences of recent film history: a honey‑painted waiter gets tied to a pole and confronted by a bear. It’s ridiculous, bizarre, and exactly what fuels Swift’s honey‑pot emoji reference. Despite mixed reviews, that scene has sparked widespread chatter, making Kelce’s debut in Happy Gilmore 2 the surprise viral centrepiece so far.
