You understand, I’ve all the time recognized Shaquille O’Neal contained multitudes and that he was filled with surprises. Nonetheless, the NBA legend revealing his Swiftie standing in entrance of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce was not one thing I anticipated. I’m thrilled it occurred, although, and I’m overjoyed that this occasion between the 2 and Jason Kelce can reside rent-free in my head ceaselessly.
So, right here’s the context: after a pleasant episode of New Heights, the Kelce brothers have been wrapping up their interview with Shaq. He paused them to say he “wanted” to point out them one thing. That one thing was “I Knew You Had been Bother” by Taylor Swift, and you’ll see how everybody reacted to this needle drop within the clip under:
There’s a lot to like right here! Shaq lip synching and jamming out to this basic Crimson observe, iconic. Jason and Travis ready to see what he was going to play, after which instantly dancing and smiling together with him, great. Their applause when the Contained in the NBA co-host stated the next was additionally fabulous:
That’s my favourite tune on this planet, brother.
Then, the ultimate cherry on prime was Travis Kelce acknowledging the truth that Swift now owns each model of her music (which incorporates that observe). Right here’s what the Tremendous Bowl champion particularly stated:
Simply received that tune again, too. Simply purchased all her music again so it’s lastly her’s too, man. I respect that, canine.
I meant it earlier, this second will reside rent-free in my head for the foreseeable future, and I like that for me, Shaq, the Kelces, and everybody else who received to witness this.
I’ve seen my justifiable share of iconic moments from the basketball participant, too. I additionally love seeing well-known Swifties, like Taste Flav, exhibiting their love for the pop star. So, watching this hilarious basketball legend present his love and respect for Swift and her relationship was actually great.
Now, as somebody who coated the Eras Tour and noticed movies of celebs like Emma Stone, Laura Dern and extra dancing the evening away at it, I’ve to marvel what Shaq would have considered the expertise. If I needed to guess what would have occurred, I’d wager he would have been standing proper subsequent to Travis, AKA, “Karma is the man on the Chiefs,” and exhibiting the identical degree of enthusiasm he confirmed within the above clip.
Actually, I wager he would have been right down to rise up and carry out on that Eras Tour stage, just like the tight finish did final 12 months, if Swift allowed it.
Really, I already adored Shaq, nonetheless, I like him much more now. Him shamelessly sharing his favourite Taylor Swift tune was great, and figuring out that he’s a Swiftie brings me immense pleasure. Now, the subsequent time she goes on tour, we would higher see him in that VIP tent rocking out to his “favourite tune on this planet.”
