Shaquille O’Neal changed his tune on Taylor Swift ahead of Sunday’s AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and Ravens. Rather, it was D.J. Diesel who decided that the international pop star — and girlfriend to Travis Kelce — was no longer on his good side while playing a set in Baltimore. Fair enough!
The 7-foot-1, 325-pound Pro Basketball Hall of Famer pulled up to the legendary Jimmy’s Famous Seafood tailgate about 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Vibes were extremely high as he took the stage.
Shaq took aim at Swift within the first two minutes. He started it off by asking fans to be loud enough that she could hear them and shouted “WE COMIN’ FOR THAT A–, TAYLOR!” He then encouraged them to throw middle fingers to the sky.
Of course, the Ravens faithful obliged. They flipped the double birds to Swift, wherever she was.
It was absolutely electric when the bass started bumping!
Don’t worry, Swifties! You don’t need to turn on the NBA legend.
Shaq was simply playing to his crowd.
His hatred for Taylor Swift in that specific pregame moment directly contradicts the reality of his prior fandom. He’s actually a big supporter of her work and hopes to one day hop on the same track.
Every single person in Baltimore was out for Swift’s (bad) blood as only her boyfriend stood in the way of the Super Bowl. They wanted to send her home sad.
The Ravens pulled out all of the stops for the AFC Championship and D.J. Diesel made sure that every single person at Jimmy’s Famous Seafood was not only stuffed full of crab cakes, but also shook to their core with heavy bass. There is no better tailgate than a tailgate that includes four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal on the 1s and 2s!
