It seems like a trend is emerging—first, Travis Kelce made headlines with his off-field connections, and now Olivia Culpo is stepping into the spotlight with her unexpected Super Bowl red carpet invitation to Donald Trump.
As the world gears up for the biggest night in football, the spectacle surrounding Super Bowl Sunday is taking an unexpected turn. Model, actress, and media personality Culpo has extended a bold invitation—urging Donald Trump to join her on the Tubi red carpet ahead of the championship game.

On a recent episode of Outkick’s Hot Mic podcast, Culpo made her invitation pretty clear.
"Wouldn’t it be cool? If you’re watching this, please, Donald Trump, come see me at the Tubi red carpet at the Super Bowl."
After Culpo’s casual invite, the buzz around Donald Trump possibly attending the Super Bowl has gone wild. If he makes it, it would be a historic first, since no sitting U.S. president has ever been at the game. Reportedly, he might be attending as a guest of Saints owner Gayle Benson, which has already prompted beefed-up security all over New Orleans.

Olivia Culpo’s link to Donald Trump dates back to her reign as Miss Universe 2012, during which Trump owned the Miss Universe Organization. While there were no major controversies between them at the time, their relationship took a turn in 2015.
That year, Trump made controversial remarks about Mexico, prompting Culpo to publicly distance herself. Scheduled to judge Miss USA 2015, she chose to step down in protest, stating:
"Unfortunately, I had to pull away from the pageant because I could not be involved with a clear conscience."
Her decision aligned with other Miss Universe alumni and media partners, who also severed ties with the organization following Trump’s comments.

This event demands heightened security measures, and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has reassured the public, stating, "We are implementing extraordinary precautions beyond those of past events. Our safety has never been more secure." With approximately 2,000 law enforcement officers deployed, New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick confirmed that specific street closures will be in place to enhance security throughout the city.
