NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is excited as Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs approaches on February 11, 2024.
In fact, Shaq is eyeing front-row seats for the big game and has a special wish – to be seated next to Travis Kelce’s girlfriend and pop sensation Taylor Swift.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Shaq revealed his pick for the game, expressing his support for the Chiefs, particularly mentioning his friend Travis Kelce.
Shaq amusingly added, “And I hope I’m sitting in the suite next to Taylor Swift.”
However, the question arises, will Taylor Swift be there to cheer for her boyfriend Travis Kelce from the suite like she has been doing since September 2023?
Swift has a prior commitment, as she is scheduled to kick off the international leg of her Eras Tour with four nights at the Tokyo Dome starting on February 7.
Fortunately, the Embassy of Japan in the United States reassured everyone through a social media statement, confirming that Swift could indeed make it in time.
