Shaquille O’Neal and Taylor Swift are two names that are never away from the headlines. The social media platforms are buzzing after Shaq answered a question regarding the Super Bowl in which he mentioned Taylor Swift.

DJ Diesel, the name by which Shaq performs on the stage was called Swiftie after he reached out to Taylor Swift in a recent interview.

Shaq talked with TMZ Sports before Super Bowl 2024 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. In that interview, he talked about his preference to sit next to Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl final. Swift is expected to make it to the finals to cheer her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the Allegiant Stadium next week.


What did Shaquille O’Neal say?

When asked about who he is backing for the Super Bowl final, Shaq said: “Might have to go with the Chiefs, my boy Travis Kelce. And I hope I’m sitting in the suite next to Taylor Swift.”

He further added: “Hey Taylor, love you,” Shaq, 51, said while blowing a kiss to the camera.

Swift has shown her support for Kelce regularly throughout the season inside the stadium. The singing sensation has attended 12 Chiefs games this season.

She has made sure that she makes herself feel at home by wearing apparel with Chiefs themes. It includes a personalized puffer jacket made by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers player Kyle, from one of Travis' jerseys.

The insider stated, "It's a rough flight, but she'll hop on her plane right after the concert."

Given that Tokyo and Las Vegas are 17 hours apart in time, Swift could potentially arrive in Nevada several hours ahead of schedule due to the 13-hour direct flight to Las Vegas.
