"I would like to do something with Taylor Swift" - Shaquille O'Neal expresses the desire to collaborate with the pop sensation
The electronic dance music scene has welcomed Shaquille O'Neal, better known as DJ Diesel within that space, with open arms. He has been touring various cities in the US, playing at different venues to varying audiences and has been thrilling them all the entire time.
When the Hall of Famer is not in front of the cameras analyzing a game of basketball, or acting in his own TV shows or movies. He can be found in arenas or lounges playing a set or two, either way he thrills his audience to premium content.
Shaquille O'Neal was at the just concluded Celebrity Crunch Classic yesterday in New Orleans. Captaining his team, the former LA Lakers big man went up against Drew Brees alongside Rachel DeMita and Spice Adams as their respective team members. He, however, came out victorious and was on the CBS Sports HQ show to tell it all.
On the show, Joe Musso asked the four-time NBA champion who he would like to collaborate with as Diesel. After giving it some thought, Shaq disclosed that he would like a collaboration with the Grammy award-winning popstar, Taylor Swift.
"I would like to do something with Taylor Swift." Shaq revealed.
Swift, who recorded her first Grammy win in 2010 at age 20 (4 Grammys), has a total of 11 Grammys to her name. In the just concluded 64th Grammy Award, she was nominated in the Album of the Year category for her album, "Evermore." However, she lost the award to Jon Baptiste for his work on "We Are."
