After Shaq, 53, played Taylor\u2019s hit \u201cI Knew You Were Trouble\u201d from her Red album on his phone, the legendary basketball player declared, \u201cThat\u2019s my favorite song in the world, brother, I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Travis and Jason, 37, laughed and applauded after Shaq\u2019s comment, while the Kansas City Chiefs athlete took the opportunity to express his excitement for the \u201cLove Story\u201d singer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too,\u201d Travis said. \u201cJust bought all her music back so it\u2019s finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog.
