The past few years have been very kind to Ariana DeBose. The actress began her career on Broadway, performing in the chorus of Lin-Manuel Miranda musicals like Bring It On and Hamilton. In 2021, her career took off after she starred as Anita in Stephen Spielberg's remake of West Side Story. She won Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for that role, and ever since, she has done nothing but thrive, until now.

Becoming a meme is a real possibility for famous people, especially those who are theatre kids at heart. On Sunday night, DeBose sang a song at the BAFTAs that became an instant meme on Twitter. Her intention was to lift up the female nominees through song and dance. The result was a cringe, confusing, trite, and hilarious song that won't soon be forgotten. If you've been wondering what "Angela Bassett did the thing" is referring to, these tweets are sure to clear it up.
