Celebrity chef Ina Garten, known as the Barefoot Contessa, revealed a hilarious story about playing beer pong with soccer legend Abby Wambach after attending a Taylor Swift concert. The incident occurred during Swift’s 1989 tour in 2015, after Swift invited Garten and her friends to an after-party.
Wambach, fresh off her World Cup victory, approached Garten and offered to be her mentor in the game. “She said, ‘I’m gonna be your advisor,’” Garten recalled. “And I was like, ‘Great! What’s your advice?'” Wambach’s advice? “Get the f–king ball in the f–king cup.”
Garten, known for her own line of cocktail recipes, is no stranger to drinking games. However, her experience with beer pong was apparently limited. Nevertheless, the incident highlights Garten’s fun-loving nature and her ability to embrace new experiences.
This isn’t the first time Garten has been seen enjoying a good time with friends. In 2019, she participated in Seth Meyers’ “Day Drinking” sketch on Late Night, showing her willingness to embrace a bit of lighthearted mischief.
Garten’s love for Taylor Swift is well documented. In 2021, she celebrated Swift’s birthday on Instagram, calling her an “artistic genius” and an “inspiration.” The two appear to have a genuine friendship, as Garten previously shared that they cooked together during a photoshoot in 2015.
The story of Garten’s beer pong encounter with Wambach is a delightful reminder that even celebrated chefs can be just as fun-loving and relatable as anyone else.
