Olive Garden Issues Pointed Message to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Olive Garden is shooting its shot to sway Taylor Swift to stop by one of its locations on her way to watch Travis Kelce.
On Thursday, Feb. 8, the Italian chain restaurant took to X (formerly Twitter) with a direct message for the pop superstar.
The official OG X account wrote: "Hi @taylorswift13! We did the calculations for you and determined you will have time to stop by for some OG faves & #shmackin Chicken Alfredo before the game on Sunday." Also included in the message was a map showing an Olive Garden just a 13-minute drive from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.
Honestly, a 13-minute detour is nothing compared to the 12-hour flight Swift was anticipated to make from Tokyo to Las Vegas for the Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers matchup on Sunday, Feb. 11.

In the comments, X users reacted to OG's bold move, with one person writing, "Omg yes I hope she stops by Olive Garden. Be sure to have the merlot ready."
OG responded, "There are no Champagne Problems here."
Another X user declared, "Whoever wrote this deserves a raise," prompting OG to reply, "Pay us in 🥖🥖🥖."
There were plenty of references to Swift's "No Body, No Crime" lyrics, "Este wasn't there Tuesday night at Olive Garden."
One X user commented, "As long as Este is with her," to which OG replied, "We haven't seen her."

Of course, the Olive Garden shoutout also paid homage to Kelce's resurfaced tweets that went viral in late 2023. Among his entertaining Twitter updates, the tight end wrote in 2011: "Up at Olive Garden with papa!! Had to grab the Fettucini with the Chicken Alfredo!! #shmackin"
Whether or not Swift has time to swing by Olive Garden for some fettuccine and breadsticks before attending the 2024 Super Bowl, we wish the pop star safe travels!
