Adam Sandler recently praised Taylor Swift for her kindness, calling her “ridiculously nice” during an interview about his upcoming movie Happy Gilmore 2. The internet quickly reacted, with fans declaring Swift the “people’s princess” while others debated whether her kindness was genuine or just good PR.
Sandler, who is promoting the Netflix sequel, shared that his daughters Sadie and Sunny have met Swift multiple times and were always treated warmly. He also complimented Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend, calling him a “gentle, nice guy” who fits right in with his childhood friends.
Adam Sandler’s Praise for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sandler was asked if his daughters had met Swift while Kelce filmed his cameo for Happy Gilmore 2. The actor confirmed they had and had nothing but positive things to say:
“They have met, and Taylor’s incredible. Taylor’s so damn nice to my family and has always been. She’s ridiculously nice to them and warm, and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. Funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with.”
Sandler has been a longtime fan of Swift, often bonding with his daughters over her music. He previously revealed that “The Best Day” was one of the first songs his kids introduced him to, and they listen to every new album on release day.
Internet Reactions: “People’s Princess” vs. “Overrated”
Fans, known as Swifties, celebrated Sandler’s comments, with many calling Swift the “people’s princess” on social media.
“well she is our peoples princess”
“People always try to make her look evil and greedy but she’s actually one of the nicest people ever.”
“Everyone who has met Taylor has always said this about her.”
“Notice how any celebrity that has actually met Taylor loves her down! She’s so nice and unproblematic actually.”
However, not everyone agreed. Some argued that being kind to celebrities’ children is basic PR and doesn’t prove genuine character.
“Being nice to celebs’ kids is PR 101—let’s not act like it’s sainthood.”
“They’re all rich and famous; of course they’re nice with each other.”
“Nice but overrated.”
Travis Kelce’s Cameo in Happy Gilmore 2
Sandler also praised Travis Kelce, who makes a cameo in the sequel. The NFL star’s acting skills and personality left a strong impression:
“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I’m with Travis, it reminds me of my buddies in high school, just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”
Kelce’s appearance in the film has generated excitement, especially among fans who enjoy seeing his crossover into entertainment.

Amid the discussions about Swift’s kindness, Scooter Braun addressed rumors that her song “Vigilante St”** was about his divorce. Braun, who had a public feud with Swift over her music rights, denied any connection:
“No, because I talk to Yael every day. My ex-wife is one of my best friends, so me and my ex-wife laugh about that stuff. We don’t even call each other ex. That’s like my partner, that’s the mother of my children.”
