LAS VEGAS – Word spread through the 200 club level on the east side of Allegiant Stadium as kickoff for Super Bowl 58 neared. More than two-dozen people congregated along a corridor and in the area near Suite E2020, which they'd heard had an exclusive guest.

Taylor Swift.
The clock ticked. No Taylor. The crowd dispersed, but those who snuck past security to get to the front side of the suite confirmed the rumors.
There was Taylor, clad in a black tank top, leaning over a plexiglass railing in full view for fans and photographers alike. She was standing next to rapper Ice Spice.

According to a building employee, both of Taylor's parents and the parents of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce were in the suite. And while the crowd waited for Swift, another VIP entered: actor Miles Teller.
Security was tight but cordial. "Are you with the media?" one asked. "No comment."

A bartender said the crowd was even bigger and more boisterous when Taylor arrived with her entourage. At one point, Taylor yelled down to what appeared to be some friends below the suite.
Shaquille O'Neal ambled by the suite with about nine minutes left in the first half and created nary a stir. Just further confirmation that this is Taylor's turf.
Shaq came back and drew a crowd. But he did not gain entrance into Taylor's suite.

"I like Taylor," he told USA TODAY Sports. Was he going to get a chance to meet her during the game?
"I don't know," he said . "We'll see."
