"I like soft-shell tacos," she said. "I like the others, but they fall apart so bad, especially if you're riding around. So I always get a Taco Supreme, with the sour cream and all that, in the soft shell. I love that."

Dolly continued to elaborate on her go-to order, explaining, "I get an order of rice and beans. And I get mild sauce. I don't like to get it too hot and ruin everything."

Dolly Parton and Doja Cat's "Mexican Pizza: The Musical" is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, May 26, at 5 PM PT on Taco Bell's official TikTok page.
