Case in point: the notorious athlete shared a video to Twitter of him singing along to Beyoncé’s _Lemonade_ masterpiece “All Night,” his face a map of strong emotion. “Dear Beyoncé,” he tweeted, “this and HALO is my jam.” He also gave her some Grammy’s support; [Queen Bey was just nominated](http://time.com/4591654/2017-grammy-nominations/?iid=sr-link5) for a grand total of nine awards for the February show, thanks to her [powerhouse _Lemonade_ album](http://time.com/4305890/beyonce-lemonade-album-review/?iid=sr-link3) this year. That makes her the [most-nominated woman](https://www.thefader.com/2016/12/06/beyonce-grammy-history) in Grammy history. And Shaq, we now know, is very much here for it. Although he doesn’t actually sing in the video, his lip syncing is on-point, flawlessly keeping up during the fast-paced verses; he’s clearly listened to “All Night” many a time. “Found the truth beneath your lies,” he mouths, shaking his face mournfully. “And true love never has to hide.” Watch it below: > [](https://twitter.com/SHAQ/status/807082175686393856) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4596759/shaq-beyonce-lip-sync/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4596759/shaq-beyonce-lip-sync/"},"headline":"Watching Shaq Emotionally Lip Sync to Beyoncé's Lemonade Is a Total Delight","datePublished":"2016-12-09T18:59:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:21.758Z","description":"\"True love never has to hide\"","url":"https://time.com/4596759/shaq-beyonce-lip-sync/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4596759/shaq-beyonce-lip-sync/","name":"Watching Shaq Emotionally Lip Sync to Beyoncé's Lemonade Is a Total Delight"}}]}] ```
