Why Adam Sandler Officiated Taylor Swift’s Wedding

“Man this life is crazy!! Still so surreal I got this opportunity,” Kelce wrote in an Instagram post last July, around the time of the movie’s release. “SANDMAN!! Thank you brotha, for the opportunity.”

Sandler also complimented Kelce that summer in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, calling him “a great actor and a great human.”

“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,” Sandler said. “He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”

He also called Swift, the 14-time Grammy award-winner, “incredible.”

“Taylor is so damn nice to my family and has always been,” Sandler said. “My kids have met Taylor a bunch of times over the years, and she’s ridiculously nice to them and warm.”

Earlier in 2025, Sandler also appeared on Kelce’s podcast “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason, a former center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce, sporting a “Happy Gilmore” hat  for the episode, called Sandler “the legend.”
