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”.
