Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got reactions to Taylor Swift's insistence on traveling by private jet, Travis Kelce screaming and memes based on a confusing Kamala Harris quote.
3. Taylor Swift's private jet
The Meme
Taylor Swift's private jet has had almost as much airtime as Swift and football star Travis Kelce's relationship lately, but for different reasons. While the couple have been both celebrated and hated, Swift's private jet has garnered far more detractors than admirers. Being rich is a curse. Being a rich person who flies in their private jet from city to city, no matter how short the distance, usually just makes it worse.
Putting aside the larger implications of her travel (climate change), people took some light jabs at Swift instead of chastising her.

2. Travis Kelce screaming
The Meme
During Super Bowl 58, Travis Kelce ended the first half without many catches, and he was even held out of quite a few plays. The team's best receiver, by far, should be on the field for every snap, and Travis seemed to agree! He was caught bumping into and yelling at head coach Andy Reid, and from that video came an amazing photo. The interaction became the most popular meme from the event, and an iconic moment in Super Bowl history.
(We briefly touched upon this content in our Super Bowl meme roundup, but here are even more bangers for all of you Kelce-heads out there.

1. Coconut Tree
The Meme
If you've seen people talking about coconut trees on X lately, you're far from the only one wondering what everyone else is going on about. Back in May 2023, vice president Kamala Harris used a rather confusing saying of her mother's to make a point about context.
"My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?'" Harris said. "You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."

For some reason, the baffling quote has resurfaced online and sparked a bunch of super niche memes.

You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up under a coconut tree and believe you fell out of it.
You take the red pill - you stay in in the context of all in which you live, and I show you what came before.. pic.twitter.com/NWzhWmh9aO
What’s the IQ of these people Marty? How many of ‘em think they just fell out of a coconut tree? How many of them don’t even understand that we exist in the context of all in which we live and all that came before us? pic.twitter.com/EBheYoB5BL
