The tie-up seeks to drive Live Más Café beverage traffic, help Taco Bell grow drink sales through 2030, repair brand trust after a recent food‑safety incident.

Overview

  • Taco Bell and Olivia Rodrigo officially unveiled the limited‑edition You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast on Aug. 27, with an exclusive Live Más Café debut at Daisy Chain Fields on Aug. 29 and a nationwide rollout set for Sept. 24.
  • The drink blends Mountain Dew Baja Blast's tropical lime flavor with pink lemonade, and Live Más Café locations will sell an exclusive frozen variant called the You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast Freeze.
  • The campaign includes custom pink packaging, limited merchandise, festival activations at Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields and Taco Bell Rewards drops tied to a Pretty Pink Picnic Kit.
