It features Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano, fan favorites from the sixth season of _RuPaul’s Drag Race_ who are both very cranky and under-caffeinated while waiting in a long Starbucks line. They begin to argue and trade insults, but then the smiley barista hands them both their steaming beverages — and boom! Friendship repaired. The coffee behemoth teamed with LGBT network OUTtv to create the spot, titled “Coffee Frenemies.” The main takeaway: coffee solves all problems. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3548423/starbucks-lgbt-drag-queen-commercial-bianca-del-rio-adore-delano/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3548423/starbucks-lgbt-drag-queen-commercial-bianca-del-rio-adore-delano/"},"headline":"Starbucks' Newest Commercial Features Drag Queens in Desperate Need of Coffee","datePublished":"2014-10-30T16:32:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:13.156Z","description":"RuPaul's Drag Race stars Adore Delano and Bianca Del Rio are now helping sell coffee","url":"https://time.com/3548423/starbucks-lgbt-drag-queen-commercial-bianca-del-rio-adore-delano/","keywords":["Newsfeed","LGBT","Business topic","Starbucks"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0617f6da0364b148/69876372a988ca0d956aa1ac/screen-shot-2014-10-30-at-11-58-26-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0617f6da0364b148/69876372a988ca0d956aa1ac/screen-shot-2014-10-30-at-11-58-26-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-10-30 at 11.58.26 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3548423/starbucks-lgbt-drag-queen-commercial-bianca-del-rio-adore-delano/","name":"Starbucks' Newest Commercial Features Drag Queens in Desperate Need of Coffee"}}]}] ```
