Let’s add this score to Rotten Tomatoes.
Taylor Swift has entered her movie critic era after sharing her official review in support of boyfriend Travis Kelce’s new movie, Happy Gilmore 2.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday shortly after the comedy’s release on Netflix, Swift shared the film’s poster with the caption, “Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible.”
Swift ended her review with the honeypot emoji, which is a sly reference to Kelce’s wild cameo in the film, which involves a busboy named Oscar (played by Bad Bunny) fantasizing about covering Kelce’s mean waiter character — who is shown in just a towel, tied to a pole — in honey and leaving him to get attacked by a bear.

Taylor Swift praises ‘Happy Gilmore 2’
Swift’s support for her, ahem, honey comes one day after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared a carousel of sweet, never-before-seen moments between himself and Swift, as well as her brother, Austin, and several friends and members of Kelce’s family.
“Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯,” he captured the post, which featured images of the two goofing off at dinner, hanging out in a tealight-lit cave with friends, and playing in the snow. The photos marked the first time he included pics with Swift on his account since they started dating in September 2023.
Set 30 years after the 1996 original, Happy Gilmore 2 follows a now-retired Happy (Adam Sandler) — who has fallen on some really tough times and returns to golf to pay for his daughter Vienna’s ballet school. In the process, he might just save the future of the sport. In addition to Sandler, returning stars from the original film include Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin.
Kelce gushed about his experience making the sequel in a January appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “That was a dream come true,” Kelce said of Happy Gilmore 2 at the time. “I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career … working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain.”

In addition to her boyfriend of nearly two years, Swift has other connections to the film. Sandler and his family — which includes wife Jackie, and daughters Sunny and Sadie — are all known Swifties, and even attended the world premiere of her Eras Tour concert film, where Swift greeted them with hugs.
“Taylor is incredible,” the Billy Madison star told Entertainment Tonight. “Taylor is so damn nice to my family and has always been. My kids have met Taylor a bunch of times over the years, and she’s ridiculously nice to them and warm.”
