LAS VEGAS — Apparently, the secret to getting inside Taylor Swift's suite at Super Bowl 58 is Jason Kelce. That's who pulled it off for Shaquille O'Neal.

During the first half, O'Neal stopped by the suite and spoke to security standing outside. But he was denied entry.

A few minutes after the first half ended, Shaq circled back. And as he stood outside the area in front of the entrance to the suite, Jason Kelce emerged.

Jason, Travis Kelce's brother who recently retired from the NFL, was clad in colorful Chiefs overalls. Shaq kissed the top of Kylie Kelce's hand when he was introduced to Jason's wife. Jason Kelce then embraced Shaq, and after a few moments of chatting, he was led inside the suite.

With less than 30 seconds left in the half, Elon Musk walked by briskly with a small child in his arms and did not even glance at Swift's suite.

Shortly after Musk's appearance, the rapper Ye walked by, wearing a black mask that covered his face. Ye has a history with Swift.

During the MTV VMAs in 2009, Ye ran onstage and interrupted Swift's acceptance speech after she won best video by a female artist. Ye famously said, "I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time."

Yes, it is Las Vegas, but don't bet on Ye receiving an invite to Swift's suite.

Shortly after the 49ers took a 16-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, LeBron James turned heads when he passed Swift's suite.“LeBron," someone yelled.But James did not stop — for Swift or the fan — as he headed down an escalator and presumably out of the building.

It’s not all about who’s entering the suite. Just before overtime starts, it’s about who’s exiting. Ed Kelce dashes to the men’s room with the game on the line and makes it back for the first play from scrimmage.
