Doja Cat Tries to Sneak Into Taco Bell’s Super Bowl Ad in New Teaser Clip
Taco Bell is gearing up to air its Super Bowl commercial next month, showing off authentic fans across the country through clips taken at thousands of Live Más Drive-Thru Cams. Now, Doja Cat wants to be part of the fun.
In a teaser clip released on Thursday (Jan. 23 fittingly titled “Photobomb,” two fans pose with their Taco Bell meal at one of the unique drive-thru photo booths as the narrator explains, “This year, Taco Bell is making fans the star of their Big Game ad — not celebrities.”
However, when the duo check out the photo they took, they notice that Doja Cat snuck her way into the background of the photo. That’s when the “Say So” superstar gets spotted by a Taco Bell employee, and they have a hilarious back-and-forth in which Doja demands to be in the upcoming commercial to no avail.
The teaser ends with the narrator concluding, “If you took a photo at one of our Drive-Thru Cams, ou could be in our Big Game ad. Participants may be slightly famous but not Doja Cat famous.”
Despite being too famous for the Super Bowl ad, Doja Cat has been a longtime Taco Bell superfan. Back in 2022, the singer appeared to single-handedly usher in the return of the restaurant’s beloved Mexican Pizza after she petitioned for the item to return to menu on social media and beyond.
“I’ve already made history with Taco Bell—you’re welcome for the Mexican Pizza comeback—so when I heard Taco Bell was featuring its biggest fans, I assumed that I would be part of the action,” Doja said in a press statement. “Don’t get me wrong, I should be the star, but my fellow Taco Bell fans really showed out… I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens during the Big Game.”
Watch the teaser spot below, and catch the full Dave Meyers-directed Big Game ad on Feb. 9 to see which of the biggest fans — and if Doja Cat — made the cut.
