“By the way, what a girl, what a girl,” interjected Sandler as Kelce beamed. “Dude, she means so much to our house.” Sandler shared that his daughters have been Swift’s fans since they were “little,” and he also quickly became a fan.
“Taylor, in our house, [my kids] knew every tune, they knew every word,” Sandler added. “I love listening to her in the car. I love what she had to say; every message, every melody, the production, how cool she was, what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life.”
He recalled that when Kelce and Swift first started dating, his family was thrilled. “My God, was my family like, ‘Yes! Look how good they are together. Look how he’s a gentleman, and she’s having so much fun with him,'” he said. “Like, anytime Taylor’s laughing with you, my whole fucking family is like high-fiving.”
“So good, man. You’ve got me sweating over here,” responded Kelce.
Sandler also admitted that when he is asked which celebrities he gets nervous around, his answer is Swift because he doesn’t want to “blow it for [his] kids and say something stupid.”
The comedy icon’s approval for the NFL star goes beyond his relationship with Swift. He recently revealed that Kelce will make a cameo in the long-awaited sequel to Happy Gilmore. On the podcast, Sandler shared more details about Kelce’s inclusion in the movie. “Travis, we’re gonna have fun because the scene you’re doing is with so many great golfers,” he teased. “It’s going to be amazing. You’re going to be funny as hell.”
