On Sunday, September 24, Taylor Swift shook the world by cheering on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce alongside his mother during the Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
She also sat next to a platter of chicken and a condiment that was "seemingly ranch," according to one fan account.
"Taylor Swift was eating a piece of chicken with ketchup and seemingly ranch!" a Swift fan account with nearly 350,000 followers on X (formerly known as Twitter), @tswifterastour, wrote in a Sunday post. (@tswifterastour did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment).
To be clear, there is nothing wrong with this tweet. The white condiment does appear to be ranch, and honestly, it's not really bad practice to hedge information that you're not sure of. "Seemingly ranch" is easily something that a reporter could say if they weren't certain about the condiment. But on X, this brilliant turn of phrase blew up, becoming the meme of the day.
We — Insider entertainment reporters Libby Torres and Palmer Haasch — set off to taste test the tried-and-true chicken and ranch combination. However, we wanted to throw a few other "seemingly ranch" options into the mix, in the offchance that Swift's condiment of choice actually was anything other than ranch.
From more conventional chicken pairings like blue cheese, to borderline food crime choices like alfredo, here were the results of our taste test.
