Taylor Swift Fans Think That They’ve Worked Out Her Secret Cameo In “Happy Gilmore 2”
Very, very minor Happy Gilmore 2 spoilers ahead.
As you may know, Happy Gilmore 2 finally hit our screens last week, and it is jam-packed with celebrity cameos — in fact, Screen Rant estimated that there are at least 72 surprise appearances in the movie’s 114-minute runtime.

These cameos range from Eminem to Haley Joel Osment, and even Adam Sandler’s wife, Jackie Sandler, puts in a guest appearance.
But for Taylor Swift fans, there is one specific Happy Gilmore 2 cameo that they are most invested in, and that is her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s brief but incredibly memorable role as “The Waiter,” who faces the wrath of Bad Bunny’s character, Oscar, after he fires him over a minor slip-up.
This leads to Oscar fantasizing about getting his revenge, and in a dreamlike sequence, Travis is tied to a post, shirtless, and then slathered with honey before a bear approaches and attacks him.
Earlier this week, Netflix posted a short behind-the-scenes video that showed this sequence being filmed, and off the back of it, some Swifties have become convinced that Taylor also had a top-secret role in the movie as… The bear who attacks Travis.
For reference, this wouldn't be the first time that Taylor had dressed up as a bear:

And when she promoted Happy Gilmore 2 on her Instagram story amid its release, she included a telltale honeypot emoji:
Netflix themselves added fuel to the fire when they replied to an Instagram comment that read: “They should’ve dressed Taylor as a bear for an epic surprise” with “👀.”
Somebody else commented on the post: “From the moment I saw it, I knew Tay was the bear 😉,” and another echoed: “You just know Taylor is the bear.”
“Taylor is definitely in the suit,” one more added, and everyone was saying the same thing over on TikTok, too.
“Was Taylor the bear 😭” one person asked, and even the official Betty Crocker TikTok page got involved as they commented: “Is Taylor the bear??? 🍯”
And another insisted: “Everybody knows it was Taylor the bear.”
Despite the Swifties’ confidence, Adam did previously say that he didn’t ask Taylor to cameo in the film, telling Extra: "We didn’t want to bother Taylor. Just let Taylor entertain the world like she does.”

And it’s also worth noting that stunt actor Brandon Alan Smith is credited as “Bear Performer” on Happy Gilmore 2’s IMDB page… But hey, maybe that’s just what they want us to believe...
