Shaquille ONeal, 51, met Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl on Sunday, just two days after ONeal told Page Six, I just want to shake the hand of greatness. If I see Taylor Swift and get to shake her hand, take a picture, Ill be good, the NBA legend, who retired in 2011, told the publication on Friday at Shaqs Fun House Super Bowl party. Shes a fabulous person. Im happy for her. Im proud of her. Shes done a lot. Shes definitely a cultural icon. His wish came true as he found Swift, 34, who was at the game to cheer on her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce. The two posed for a photo on Sunday inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
In his Instagram caption, ONeal said that he and Jamie Salter gifted Swift an NFL-themed Judith Lieber bag. Salter, in his own Instagram post, wrote, Hope you love the @judithleiberny bag. Go KC Whether ONeal's dream to meet Swift would actually come to fruition was up in the air until Saturday, when his chances increased after Swift's attendance was confirmed to PEOPLE by Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.
