극도로 2022 움직임, 돌리 파튼 과 도자 고양이 will star in a TikTok musical for 타코 벨, 주위에 테마 — 다른 무엇? — the chain’s dearly missed Mexican Pizza.
That sentence could have been generated by AI that was fed a list of buzzwords, 하지만! “Mexican Pizza: 뮤지컬” is real, a fast food ode to the Taco Bell menu item that will return to stores this month, and it will air live on TikTok on May 26.
It all started when Doja Cat shared a “contractual” rap for the chain, with a silly trumpeted beat and Taco Bell’s titular chime, about Mexican Pizza, which was taken off Taco Bell’s menu in 2020.
“I will end you if you ever dare to go discontinued,” 여자 rapped halfheartedly in her ironic jingle. “This ain’t even Mexican food.”
TikTok comedian Victor Kunda took her jingle and ran with it, parodying what an intense rehearsal for a professional production of “Mexican Pizza: The Musical by Doja Cat” might look like. The resulting musical was inspired by both TikToks, Entertainment Weekly reported, and Kunda will appear along with other yet-to-be-named special guests.
Penned by screenwriter Hannah Friedman with Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, the duo who won a Grammy for their first TikTok production, “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical,” the upcoming show’s plot remains unknown. Barlow and Bear did tease a snippet of their score, 그러나, with lyrics like, “You took a slice right out of my heart.”
“We sat down and composed a musical for Mexican Pizza,” Barlow 말했다 on TikTok, debunking rumors that this digital performance was a joke. “And every song is a banger, if I do say so myself.”
Details on Parton’s role in the musical are also scarce — a cameo? A leading role? The fairy más-mother of Taco Bell acolytes? She announced her involvement with an 인스 타 그램 post of a “personal and confidential” 스크립트.
Over the last year, Taco Bell has tapped artists of the moment — 도자 고양이, Lil Nas X 과, 지금, the eternally popular Parton — to hawk its Chalupa Supremes and Cheesy Gordita Crunches to the youths. The country chanteuse feels inescapable these days, lending her likeness to sponsored content like a middling Super Bowl ad for T-Mobile and NFT themed to her new book with James Patterson, “누구보다 오래 실종된, 장미, 누구보다 오래 실종된”
Parton’s had just as momentous a month as the Mexican Pizza: She was named a member of the 2022 바위 & Roll Hall of Fame induction class, 와 함께 에미넴, Lionel Richie, the Eurythmics 그리고 더.
