Shaquille O’Neal Hoping To Sit Next Taylor Swift At Super Bowl LVIII

Move over, Jason Kelce … Shaquille O’Neal tells TMZ Sports he’s hoping to score a seat right next to Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LVIII!!

The Big Diesel made his intentions known during a chat with us this week ahead of the Big Game … saying straight up he wants a premium chair in Swift’s suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas next Sunday.

“Hey, Taylor!” the NBA legend said with a smile. “Love you!”

Of course, there are plenty of people who are already vying for the spot. Jason obviously has some dibs — his brother, Travis Kelce, is playing in the game after all — as does Brittany Mahomes … and anyone else from Swift’s girl gang for that matter.

But it seems Shaq really wants in … even saying he’ll be rooting for Travis and Kansas City during the tilt!

There’s more … we also talked to the former Lakers center about his annual Super Bowl party, Shaq’s Fun House, and he said in addition to Diplo andLil Wayne, he’s expecting even more artists — perhaps even Snoop Dogg — to show up.
