Doja Cat Is Photobombing Fans in Taco Bell’s 2025 Big Game Ad Teaser (Exclusive)
Taco Bell is really out here flipping the script for their 2025 Big Game ad! This year, they’re giving the fans the spotlight, but of course, when Doja Cat is involved, nothing goes exactly as planned.
In the teaser released on January 23, 2025, Doja Cat is back with Taco Bell—and she’s got one mission: photobombing fans who are trying to enjoy their moment in the brand’s upcoming Big Game commercial.
While Taco Bell is all about making everyday fans the stars of their Big Game ad, Doja’s not having it. In the teaser, we see her sneakily trying to jump into the shot, and when a Taco Bell employee tells her
“No famous people” are allowed, Doja’s response? “I want to be in this ad!”
Cue the back-and-forth screaming match between Doja and the employee, before she hilariously ducks out of sight… hiding in the bushes. Classic Doja move, right? Always keeping things unpredictable and fun.
Taco Bell’s whole vibe this year is different from what we’re used to seeing from Big Game commercials.
Instead of featuring celebrities front and center, the brand decided to celebrate real Taco Bell fans and their genuine moments, especially during those drive-thru runs.
This idea was brought to life through Taco Bell’s Live Más Drive-Thru Cams, which toured the country in December.
Fans from cities like Los Angeles, Ohio, Tennessee, Houston, and Florida had the chance to snap their photos and potentially make it into the Big Game commercial. It’s a unique twist, putting regular folks in the spotlight.
But—no surprise—Doja Cat couldn’t resist sneaking in. The Grammy-winning artist has always had a knack for blending in with the culture, and she made her presence felt, even if it meant causing a little chaos in the process.

If you’ve been rocking with Taco Bell and Doja for the past few years, you know this isn’t their first collab.
In fact, Taco Bell’s last big Big Game ad in 2022 was with Doja, where she served up a bizarre but hilarious spot titled “The Great Escape,” complete with clown makeup. That was just the beginning.
In 2022, Doja also played a major role in reviving Taco Bell’s iconic Mexican Pizza. Who could forget the moment she dropped that now-viral jingle on TikTok?
Thanks to fans like Victor Kunda, who turned the jingle into a musical, Taco Bell made the decision to bring the Mexican Pizza back permanently. The power of Doja’s influence was undeniable—she even announced the return of the Mexican Pizza during her Coachella set, dropping the mic and dropping the news all at once. Talk about a cultural moment!
Taco Bell didn’t stop there. They went all out, even partnering with Doja and country legend Dolly Parton to produce Mexican Pizza: The Musical—a whole TikTok live-streamed production. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. With catchy tunes and over 20 TikTok creators, the musical took the internet by storm.

And let’s be real, Doja’s not just about the promo. She’s genuinely a fan of Taco Bell herself.
In a recent interview, she made it clear that the Mexican Pizza is still her go-to order.
“It’s iconic and I’m proud to have been a part of the fan movement to bring it back,” she said. Add a Baja Blast, and you’ve got the perfect meal in her eyes.
So, as we gear up for the Big Game, it’s clear Doja’s got our backs when it comes to making sure Taco Bell’s ad is the most talked-about moment of the day. She’s bringing her A-game to the screen—just as she’s done with her music, her memes, and everything in between. The queen of photobombs is back, and we’re here for it.
Doja and Taco Bell’s playful partnership continues to remind us that, when it comes to big moments, she knows how to make a lasting impression.
