Taylor Swift’s influence knows no bounds, not even the world of professional sports.

In a hilarious and unexpected moment on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Shaquille O’Neal and Travis Kelce joined forces for an impromptu tribute to the pop superstar.

“I Knew You Were Trouble” — And Apparently, So Did Shaq

As a guest on the Kelce brothers’ hit show, NBA legend Shaq brought more than just stories. He brought vibes. Near the end of the episode, O’Neal pulled out a surprise move. He played Taylor Swift’s 2012 mega-hit “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

“This is my favorite song,” he said proudly, before launching into a humming rendition of the chorus.

Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend, couldn’t resist. The NFL tight end started dancing in his seat, fully embracing the Swiftie energy as laughter erupted between Shaq and Jason Kelce.

“Shout Out to Tay Tay”: Kelce Joins the Celebration

Amid the fun, Kelce made sure to show his support for Taylor’s recent historic win — regaining ownership of her music catalog after a years-long battle.

“Shout out to Tay Tay,” he said with a smile. “Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back. So it’s finally hers, man.”

The light-hearted exchange gave fans a peek into Kelce’s pride and highlighted just how fully the sports world is rooting for Swift’s artistic victories.

What started as a playful moment turned into a full-blown crossover of NFL, NBA, and Taylor Swift fandoms — with fans flooding social media in delight.

“Shaq is a Swiftie?! This is my multiverse,” one user tweeted, while another joked, “The Kelce-Swift household is gonna LOVE this clip.”

The segment capped off what was already a headline-making week for Swift, who confirmed she’d officially secured her master recordings. That move that reportedly cost her $360 million and has been hailed as a defining win for artist rights.
