Ina Garten Reveals Taylor Swift Invited Her To Play THIS Fun Backstage Game During Concert After Party

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but feel awe-struck by Ina Garten’s extraordinary life experiences! From whipping up delicious dishes in her cozy Hamptons kitchen to rubbing shoulders with musical icons like Taylor Swift, she truly embodies the epitome of living one’s dreams.


Ina Garten reveals playing beer pong with none other than the musical sensation, Taylor Swift at one of her backstage after party. In an interview with Wall Street Journal, the Barefoot Contessa star—who also happens to be the cover star for October—detailed the special concert moment.

As a self-proclaimed Taylor Swift enthusiast, let me share an exciting backstage tale. Following her electrifying performance, she graciously extended an invitation to us, her dedicated crew, for an after-show bash. My friend Kate, ever the adventurer, suggested we join in on a friendly game of beer pong – an offer I couldn’t refuse!

Approaching where I was, Abby Wambach – fresh from winning the Soccer World Cup title – joined our conversation, saying, “I will serve as your mentor.” She further mentioned this fact.

2015 found me, a die-hard Swiftie, following her trail for the 1989 World Tour. But it wasn’t just Taylor who made history that year; the American women’s national soccer team, led by the legendary Abby Wambach, clinched the World Cup! To honor their victory, they joined Taylor on stage in New Jersey for a performance of “Style”. Ina herself admitted she was never any good at beer pong, but this game was her one and only exception.

Garden asserts that later on, Wambach provided some blunt guidance, exclaiming, ‘Make sure to get the ball into the goalpost!’ In response, Garden chuckled and asked, “Is that your suggestion?

Garden disclosed to a media outlet in April that she, along with other Swifties, had to make extraordinary efforts to secure tickets for the pop star’s Eras Tour. Later, Garden informed PEOPLE that she fell ill just before the concert, which meant she couldn’t wear her shimmering dress as initially intended.

Over many years, Garten has held Swift in high regard, and the singer has frequently lauded the chef. In fact, Garten was highly esteemed by Swift, who was spotlighted on the cover of Food Network Magazine in November 2022 to mark the show’s 20th anniversary. Notably, Swift referred to the celebrated chef as a “wonderful woman,” and various celebrities recounted their fond memories of Garten within that same publication.
