Maren Morris poses with Shaquille O’Neal in a now-viral photo

Take your friendship to new heights.

October 1 Maren Morris performed at The Event, a benefit gala for his Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The country star met there Shaquille O’Neal himself and posted a photo of the two together, mocking their extreme height difference.

“Tall guys,” she captioned it Instagram pic, which has since gone viral, referencing her single of the same name.

At a petite 5’1″, Maren is almost two feet shorter than Shaq, one of the tallest NBA stars of all time. The remaining fan-favorite basketball legend is 6’11”, as he revealed to TNT Inside the NBA in 2020.

In addition to Maren, other performers were also present at The Event Maroon 5, pit bull, HER and comedian John Mulaney. More than $3.2 million was raised at the gala, sponsored by Pepsi’s Stronger Together initiative. Proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Club and school communities in Las Vegas and Atlanta, Shaq’s two hometowns.

“It’s such an honor and an amazing lineup to be a part of,” Maren told E! News. “And I’m so glad I was asked.”
