<a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a>, quick as her name suggests, garnered a multitude of fans that go beyond the loyal Swifties, extending to a diverse list of stars from various walks of life. Her influence is not confined to the sweet symphony of love with Travis Kelce in the realm of football. Instead, it is an undeniable force that is now making waves from the NFL to the NBA. In the ever-spinning headlines, Shaquille O&#8217;Neal and Swift took center stage.
The basketball legend unabashedly flaunted his almost tangible fandom for the pop sensation, proving that Swift&#8217;s charisma is not just a melody but a pulsating rhythm that transcends boundaries.
<h2>A new fan of Taylor Swift?</h2>
Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, the NBA luminary, earned his stripes as a devoted Swiftie, openly declaring his fervor for Swift. At O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s Fun House in Las Vegas, amidst the glitz of the red carpet, the towering sports icon shared his burning desire to personally meet the pop sensation, likening the experience to shaking hands with greatness. His admiration for Swift did not stop at mere fandom; he painted her as a &#8220;cultural icon,&#8221; showering accolades on her achievements with a prideful nod.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
💬| &quot;If I see Taylor Swift and get to shake her hand, take a picture, I&#39;ll be good,&quot;&#8230;&quot;She&#39;s a fabulous person. I&#39;m happy for her. I&#39;m proud of her.

As the Super Bowl anticipation reaches its zenith, the NBA legend cheekily expressed his wish to be seated in the proximity of Swift at Allegiant Stadium. Expressing his desire to meet her, the player even checked Google for any previous encounters, but remained unsure. He emphasized his fondness for shaking hands with remarkable individuals. He also envisioned a swift six-second interaction with Swift, envisioning a simple greeting – &#8220;Hello, I love you, I’m a fan. Can we take a picture for my kids? And I’m done.&#8221;

<h2>Shaquille O&#8217;Neal roots for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce</h2>
In Shaquille O&#8217;Neal&#8217;s pre-Super Bowl extravaganza in Las Vegas, the iconic star was not just throwing hoops; he was also tossing wishes into the romantic court of Swift and Travis Kelce. In an exclusive chat with Us Weekly on February 9, the basketball maestro refrained from playing relationship coach but painted a picture of everlasting love for the duo. With phrases like &#8220;last forever,&#8221; &#8220;get hitched,&#8221; and &#8220;beautiful offspring,&#8221; O&#8217;Neal was like a slam dunk of optimism.
