When Happy Gilmore 2 debuted its first round of promotional material, it wasn’t Adam Sandler or even Travis Kelce who caught most viewers’ attention. It was the sudden surge in speculation that Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny, two of the most prominent global recording artists—might finally be working together. What began as a pop culture footnote quickly spiraled into a frenzy of decoding Easter eggs, reviewing podcast quotes, and dissecting tracklists.
At the center of the speculation stood a single question: are Swift and Bad Bunny preparing to release a joint single? For weeks, the indicators pointed toward a possible yes. Swift’s public approval of Bad Bunny’s music and his recent comedic performance in Happy Gilmore 2—in which he appears alongside her fiancé Travis Kelce—gave the theory cultural weight. Fans seized on every available detail, especially the moment Swift revealed the song list for her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. Among the titles was one particular track, “Honey,” which led followers to draw a link to a now-infamous dream sequence in Happy Gilmore 2, where Bad Bunny pours honey on Kelce.

However, the speculation met a definitive answer at the New York City premiere of Caught Stealing, a Darren Aronofsky-directed feature starring Bad Bunny alongside Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz. On the red carpet, when asked directly by Extra whether he would appear on “Honey,” Bad Bunny responded, “I don’t know anything about [the collab rumors].” His answer, while brief, left little ambiguity. The much-theorized collaboration is, for now, nonexistent.
That said, his interaction with press did not end there. While speaking to CBS at the same event, the Puerto Rican artist also took a moment to acknowledge Swift’s engagement to Kelce, stating in song, “I hope they last forever,” a moment that quickly circulated online.

Swift’s interest in Bad Bunny predates recent headlines. In 2023, she was seen dancing to his opening performance at the Grammy Awards. Later that year, she sang along to his track “Tití Me Preguntó” at the U.S. Open. Earlier this month, on Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Swift praised Bad Bunny’s comedic work in Happy Gilmore 2, remarking, “He absolutely delighted me in that movie. His comedic timing is so good.”
Though there is no collaboration in progress at present, the two artists continue to move in overlapping circles. Whether coincidence or eventual alignment, only time will tell if their creative paths converge.
