Grammys 2019: Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez accepts Chrissy Teigen invite to watch the show with her

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accepted an invite from American model Chrissy Teigen to watch the Grammys with her.

Ms Teigen, who co-hosts Lip Sync Battle, tweeted to the 29-year-old democrat to ask her if she would like to join her and Modern Family start Jess Tyler Ferguson to watch the event.

She wrote: “Hello my hero, do you wanna come over and watch the grammys with us? There will be pizza.”

After this she asked Ms Tyler Ferguson to tell Ms Ocasio-Cortez “we are normal”.

Chrissy Teigen contacted the congresswoman on Twitter

Following this, the democrat who is the youngest ever US congresswoman, said: “Yes! We can live-tweet me burning something in the kitchen.”

Ms Teigen replied “Perfect! We have extremely different strengths except I still sometimes burn things.”

The budding friendship sparked excitement on social media.

One person wrote: “This type of wholesome interaction is the reason why I still have twitter wow.”

Another said: “Ya’ll I don’t know if I can even process this yet emotionally.”

Others asked if they could join the festivities as well.

The Grammys will be held on February 10 in Los Angeles.

It will start at 5pm PST, which is 1am on Monday in the UK.

They are set to be hosted by Alicia Keys.

Acts confirmed to perform include Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Brandi Carlile and Miley Cyrus.
