Why Is Chicken With Ketchup, And Seemingly Ranch Everywhere? The Swiftie-Led Meme Explained
You're never going to believe this, but just one week ago, pop singer Taylor Swift had a piece of chicken with ketchup, and seemingly, ranch! This breaking news headline has become a meme over the past week, as users on social media have excitedly shared the foods that they too are eating with, seemingly, ranch.
A confluence of factors has turned "Seemingly ranch!" into a meme, and here we'll break down why Swift's Sunday lunch became a meme.
What Is The "Seemingly Ranch!" Meme?
To understand why Taylor Swift's lunch became a meme, one must first understand Swifties. Taylor Swift fans are notoriously zealous about everything Taylor-related. Her new quasi-relationship with pro football player Travis Kelce has sent them into overdrive, as quite literally every angle of their relationship and compatibility has been analyzed by the Swiftie fandom. For proof, look at this astrology chart done up by a Swiftie checking what the stars say about their compatibility:
On Sunday, Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs game to watch Kelce play at Arrowhead Stadium. As both Swifties and NFL cameras kept a close eye on Swift, her attendance became a major news story. This led one Swiftie with the handle @tswifterastour to post a RED ALERT tweet with a picture of Swift at the game, noting that the singer was having a piece of chicken with ketchup ("and seemingly ranch!").
How Did "Seemingly Ranch!" Become A Meme?
While Swifties are known for being a little over-the-top in their sharing of news about the pop star, a Swiftie alerting the fandom about the dressing on her chicken wing was simply too much for the internet was simply too much, and the field day started, as users and brands got in on a joke of alerting everyone about their meals with "seemingly ranch!"
Now, when you see "seemingly ranch" in the wild, you'll understand it's a meme about the Swiftie fandom, which is only growing more fanatical by the day. Swift has yet to comment on whether the sauce she was having for her chicken wing was indeed ranch.
