Side Eyeing Chloe

Chloe Clem (born November 30, 2010), commonly known by her Internet nickname "Side Eyeing Chloe", is an American Internet celebrity known for her concerned-looking reaction, which became a popular Internet meme in 2013.

Chloe Clem was born in Utah on November 30, 2010, to parents David and Katie Clem, the latter being responsible for creating the family's YouTube channel and posting videos there. She first appeared in a video on her family's YouTube channel, which was uploaded on October 3, 2011.

The meme comes from the 2013 YouTube video "Lily's Disneyland Surprise… AGAIN!". The video shows two sisters, Lily and Chloe Clem, reacting to the news of a surprise trip to Disneyland on Lily's way to school. As the older sister, Lily, breaks into tears of joy, Chloe is briefly seen on camera with a disturbed look on her face. The video is a follow-up to a similar video released two years earlier, which went viral, having over 19 million views as of February 2021.

Like its predecessor, the video went viral, having over 20 million views as of February 2021. The screenshot of Chloe's disturbed look was used in numerous memes on Tumblr and Twitter. It was then remixed into numerous GIF photos highlighting the contrasting reactions, which gained 895,700 notes in less than a month. Side Eyeing Chloe has also been used as a photoshop meme, featuring Chloe's disturbed look on celebrities. Most of these photoshopped memes were posted on the Tumblr blog “Chloe Queen of Everything.”

BuzzFeed posted an article about the meme in November 2013, referring to her as "the patron saint of Tumblr" and "the queen and goddess of the internet". The article features numerous examples of the photoshopped memes, as well as several GIFs. Due to the meme's success, Chloe has been featured heavily on Katie's YouTube channel, alongside her older sister Lily.

In 2017, Chloe and her family took a trip to Brazil - where her facial expression was pasted all over the Google offices. Later that year, Chloe and Lily both began modeling careers.

In 2019, Chloe and her mother Katie appeared in an episode of BuzzFeed's series "I Accidentally Became A Meme", where they discussed the meme and the impact it has had on their lives.

In 2021, it was revealed that the Side Eyeing Chloe photo would be auctioned off as a non-fungible token (NFT).
