Chris Lake receives high praise from Travis Kelce on new Taylor Swift remix

Chris Lake and Taylor Swift team up for an unexpected remix of 2026, with the help of her NFL fiancé, and Chris Lake superfan, Travis Kelce.

Chris Lake is making headlines this week, and it has nothing to do with a festival set or a Vegas residency. The house music heavyweight is linked to an upcoming Taylor Swift remix, a notoriously difficult artist to collaborate with on remixes, official and unofficial. The buzz started before anyone had even heard a second of it, as it is only available for preorder on CD, yet Chris Lake partnered with Swift’s NFL fiancé, Travis Kelce, to push it through.

According to shared screenshots, Travis Kelce reached out to Lake via DMs to help make the remix happen. In the exchange, Kelce called Lake a legend and cited Chemistry as one of his favorite albums, making it clear this was not a random industry connection but genuine fandom. Lake later revealed that Kelce was a driving force behind getting the remix underway.

Taylor Swift also acknowledged the crossover moment, joking that Kelce is her “in-house, house guy,” confirming his involvement in spearheading the dance rework to her popular track “Opalite,” off of her “Life Of a Showgirl” album. The cultural crossover alone has already sparked conversation across both pop and dance circles.

For Chris Lake, it marks a high-profile nod from one of the most visible couples in entertainment right now, with one half being one of the biggest artist names of a generation, only rivaling Beyoncé. For house music, this is another sign that the genre remains comfortably at the center of mainstream attention, especially with Chris Lake as a bridge. Chris Lake is a cultural icon in house music, having been in the scene for decades and serving as a source of inspiration for aspiring DJs and music fans alike, similar to the inspiration Taylor Swift shares with her fanbase, albeit dance fans are much more rational, even though they are house-loving ravers.
