    Taco Bell executives, including Liz Matthews, global chief food Innovation officer, and chief marketing officer Taylor Mongomery, announced several upcoming menu items for this year with the help of host Vince Staples and celebrities seated among superfans in the audience.

    Among them were Finneas, Jason Sudeikis, Ciara Miller and Demi Lovato.

    Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Menoza tossed a purple football – the color in Taco Bell’s logo –to announce the permanent addition of Nacho Fries to the menu after more than eight years of limited-time status.

    Benson Boone tossed purple confetti from a purple fanny pack and did a backflip for a Crème Brulee Crunchwrap Slider.
