Taylor Swift was living for Bad Bunny‘s comedic timing in Happy Gilmore 2, just like the rest of us. During her interview on New Heights with Travis and Jason Kelce, Swift shared how funny she thought the Puerto Rican star was in the Adam Sandler film, which also stars her boyfriend, Travis.
“Bad Bunny? He absolutely delighted me in that movie,” said Swift on the podcast.
“He was so good!” responded Kelce.
“His comedic timing is so good,” Swift continued. “His character name is Oscar, and it’s like, his brother gets hit by the golf ball. And they look over and they’re like, ‘Who did that? You did that?’ And there’s a face that Bad Bunny makes, and they do the kind of like the pan or zoom. I was like, ‘Who thought of that? How did they know he could be that way!’ I watched it five times.”
“He’s so funny. He’s so good. I felt so much for his character,” she added.
The Bad Bunny conversation came about after Swift was asked to clarify silly rumors that she plays the costumed bear in Happy Gilmore 2. (The animal is in a major scene alongside Travis Kelce in the film.)
“I can deny! This is one of those ones where we’ll send it to each other … Of course they think I’m inside of a bear costume, like, I’m honored to be thought of in that context, because I loved that movie so much,” she said. “Whoever did the bear’s acting was exquisite.”

Upon its release, Swift encouraged her friends and fans to go watch the movie on Netflix. “Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!” Swift wrote on Instagram at the time. “An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.”
Also during the New Heights podcast appearance, Swift unveiled the title, track list, and cover art of her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. The album was produced with Max Martin and Shellback, and was made as she went on her Eras Tour in Europe last summer.
