Adam Sandler and his family are enchanted by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s love story. While serving as a special guest on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s New Heights podcast, the Happy Gilmore star couldn’t help but gush over the pop star and her romance with Travis — to the point that the athlete started sweating, the NFL star admitted.
The topic of Swift first came up when Travis mentioned how Sandler brought his daughters to the Eras Tour concert film premiere in October. “What a girl,” the comedian said in the episode posted Wednesday (Aug. 28), to which the football player replied, “You know it, man. Best performer out here.”
“Dude, she means so much to our house,” Sandler continued to Travis and his brother/cohost Jason Kelce. “The kids were little, and we were listening to Taylor Swift. It was one of the first times that [they] listened to every song on the record. When I was a kid, The Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John — you knew every tune. Taylor, in our house, every tune, they knew every word.”
“I love what she had to say … what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life,” gushed the Grown Ups star, adding that Swift once “took her time” interacting with his daughters on the set of Saturday Night Live. “She just floors my family.”
“I do get nervous around Taylor Swift, because I don’t want to f–king blow it for my kids and say something stupid,” Sandler added, leading Travis to say that his superstar girlfriend was “so grateful” the actor and his kids attended the Eras premiere.
The episode comes about a week after Sandler confirmed that the tight end will appear in his upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel. It also marks the first New Heights episode in nearly two months following the Kelce brothers’ hiatus, which Travis spent traveling the world with Swift as a plus-one on her Eras Tour before heading back to Kansas City for Chiefs training camp in July.
