However, some rumors are so absurd and silly that you can\u2019t help but laugh at them. And I love that both the pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; star got a real kick out of this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, while there was a credited bear performer in <em>Happy Gilmore 2<\/em>, I do see the logic behind people thinking it could have been Taylor Swift. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/i-knew-adam-sandler-swiftie-didnt-expect-massive-justin-bieber-fan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Adam Sandler is a certified Swiftie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u>Adam Sandler is a certified Swiftie<\/u><\/a>, and the &#8220;So High School&#8221; singer&#8217;s boyfriend was in the movie.

That didn\u2019t stop her from being entertained by the rumors, though, as she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At this point, we\u2019re just like, \u2018Of course they think I\u2019m inside of a bear costume.\u2019 Like, I\u2019m honored to be thought of in that context, because I loved that movie so much.
