Chrissy Teigen Invited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Watch the Grammys
In some very good news this week, Chrissy Teigen and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might be forming a power friendship of our dreams. In a tweet yesterday, Teigen reached out to the powerhouse junior Congresswoman and point-blank asked her if she wanted to come over to her house to watch the Grammys and eat pizza. And, by the looks of things, AOC is in.
Teigen sent the Internet into fangirl mode when she decided to entice Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest Congresswoman in history, with a hangout that included pizza. “@AOC hello my hero, do you wanna come over and watch the grammys with us? there will be pizza,” she wrote.
Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who’s apparently also invited to this watchparty/meeting of the minds, quickly chimed in and gallantly offered AOC his slice of pizza if she accepted the invitation.
He also used the opportunity to troll Teigen just a little bit. “Jesse will [be] here! help me!! tell her we are normal,” Teigen tweeted to Tyler Ferguson. His response? “I can only speak for myself Chrissy. Although, you are usually pretty good at staying chill.”
Luckily, it doesn’t seem like AOC needed anyone to twist her arm too much. Within a few hours, she’d tweeted back with enthusiasm. “yes! we can live-tweet me burning something in the kitchen,” she said.
Chrissy, as always, had the perfect response: “perfect! we have extremely different strengths except I still sometimes burn things.”
It’s unclear if Ocasio-Cortez will actually make an appearance at the party, but, gotta say, a friendship between these two would be perfect. Both women have been proud, outspoken figures who stand up for what they believe in—AOC in politics and Teigen in the entertainment business. Plus, they’re both unmatched social media mavericks who know how to jostle between being passionate and absolutely hilarious. On Sunday night, we’ll be crossing our figures that our social media timelines get blessed with appearances from these (hopefully) future BFFs. Plus, from what we saw during John Legend’s 40th birthday, Teigen knows how to throw a pretty epic party.
