The allure of Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl suite at Super Bowl LXVIII in Las Vegas became a celebrity hotspot, but not everyone managed to secure entry. One notable figure who succeeded in gaining access was basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, and the key to his entry was revealed to be Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce.
Shaq initially approached the suite during the first half but was denied entry by security. However, during the halftime break, Shaq returned and, with the assistance of Jason Kelce, managed to secure access. Wearing colorful Chiefs overalls, Jason introduced Shaq to his wife, Kylie Kelce, and after a warm embrace, Shaq was led into the suite.

Elon Musk, Ye, and LeBron James amongst celebrities outside Taylor Swift’s suite
In contrast, tech mogul Elon Musk, holding a small child, briskly walked by Swift’s suite without acknowledging it. A few moments after Musk’s departure, Ye (Kanye West) walked past the spot. Ye, who has a history with the popular singer ranging from the infamous interruption of Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in 2009 to taking digs at her in his songs, wore a black mask and seemed unlikely to be on the guest list.

LeBron James, another high-profile figure, passed by Swift’s suite without stopping during the game. Despite someone calling out to him, James continued down an escalator.

The dynamics around Swift’s suite extended beyond who entered; there was also a touch of humor from Ed Kelce’s exit. Travis Kelce’s father Ed made a dash to the men’s room just before overtime started, adding a touch of anticipation to the unfolding Super Bowl drama.
Travis Kelce reportedly covered the cost of a pricey Super Bowl 2024 suite where his and Taylor Swift’s families sat together. The suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas cost over $1 million, making it a luxurious accommodation for the big game. Kelce’s sweet gesture reflects his intentions to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone present.
