Singer Taylor Swift has put an end to all the rumours that she had a cameo as a bear in Happy Gilmore 2 while appearing on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast.

When Jason asked Swift if she could "confirm or deny" the speculation, to which she replied, "I can deny!"

"This is one of those where, like, we'll send it to each other and be like, 'Hey, did you hear I was the bear in there?' And he's like, 'Yeah, did you hear we bought a house in Lake Como?' At this point, we're just like, of course, they think I'm inside of a bear costume," she added, according to People.

Swift said, "I'm honoured to be thought of in that context because I loved that movie so much. I watched it multiple times. I loved it so much," she shared.

In July, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift extended her support to NFL star and boyfriend Travis Kelce, praising his acting debut in the newly released Netflix film Happy Gilmore 2, reported People.

"Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie. An absolute must watch," Swift wrote in an Instagram Story post, along with the film's movie poster.
