"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most basic b*tch of them all?" While I hope none of you have ever sat in front your mirror, actually reciting these words (that would be weird), it is a valid question.
Since the term's introduction into pop culture lexicon, it has absolutely taken over. Everything from pumpkin spice lattes to reading your horoscope to listening to Britney Spears can be considered "basic" these days, causing women everywhere to wonder about their own basic status (there's a really helpful quiz on BuzzFeed for those of you who'd like to know more).
In an effort to find out who owns the title of most Basic B*tch, VICE has created a Basic B*tch tournament. The judges (Big Freedia, Julie Klausner and Dave Schilling) deliberate to figure out which celebrity belongs in the gluten-free throne of basic.
