When she announced last Friday that she had finally purchased back the master recordings and all associated material for her first six albums, Taylor Swift<\/strong> wrote<\/a> in an emotional letter posted to her website that she had \u201cbeen bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this was really happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Her boyfriend Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, however, celebrated the news in his own way: Evidently, it makes him feel like dancing\u2014and recruiting two fellow sports legends to do so.<\/p>\n On the latest episode of New Heights<\/em><\/a>, the podcast Travis co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce<\/strong>, published Wednesday, the siblings hosted basketball hall of famer Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/strong> for a lengthy interview. There was a lot of baller talk, sure, but the most baller discussion came in the final seconds of the interview, when Shaq pulled out his phone during the outro and mumbled, \u201cI gotta show you guys something. Two seconds.”<\/p>\n \u201cTake your time,\u201d Jason told him.<\/p>\n Time well spent: Shaq tapped the phone’s screen and Swift\u2019s \u201cI Knew You Were Trouble,\u201d from her album Red<\/em>, blasted out of its speaker. Immediately, all three men started shimmying and lip-syncing to the track.<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cMy favorite song in the world, brother!\u201d Shaq declared.<\/p>\n Travis, never one to pass up a chance to show off his status as Swift\u2019s No. 1 fan, proudly shot back, \u201cJust got that song back, too, just bought all that music back too, so it\u2019s finally hers.\u201d<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not immediately clear from the snippet whether the song inspiring the dance extravaganza is from the original Red<\/em> or Red (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em>, it doesn\u2019t really matter: She owns them both now.<\/p>\n Shaq has long been a confirmed Swiftie, and even told Page Six ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl, in which Travis\u2019 Kansas City Chiefs bested the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, that just meeting the singer would make the whole game experience a touchdown, no matter the outcome: \u201cIf I see Taylor Swift and get to shake her hand, take a picture, I\u2019ll be good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Mission accomplished: Shaq not only met Swift<\/a>, but gifted her a bedazzled Judith Leiber purse, shaped like a football and customized with 87, Travis\u2019 jersey number. Swift wore it to the game to accessorize her all-black look, and the former basketball player posted photos of himself grinning alongside Swift.<\/p>\n Jason, after the 2024 Super Bowl, recalled the atmosphere inside the suite packed with A-Listers where he and Swift sat<\/a>: \u201cTurns out, everyone wants to meet Taylor,\u201d he said. \u201cShaq came in on the frickin\u2019 suite. I mean, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it was my first really understanding kind of some of the things that she has to deal with on a lot of bases because there\u2019s so many star-studded people there<\/a> that it\u2019s like dude, everybody wants to come see her,\u201d Jason said.<\/p>\n Travis added, \u201cTaylor thrives in those situations, she\u2019s been in ’em countless times in her life.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, Shaq and the boys aren\u2019t the only ones having dance parties. Swift has been spotted out celebrating with friends, including getting dinner at New York City\u2019s Monkey Bar with longtime pal Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a> the day after she announced the sale. Frequent collaborator and friend Jack Antonoff<\/strong>, too, posted a video of himself and Swift<\/a> (and one of her cats, Meredith, always key personnel) singing along to \u201cGetaway Car,\u201d a track from Reputation<\/em>, which has not seen a re-release. \u201cRep forever guilt free listening!\u201d he captioned the video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
