At a time when TikTok users are scrambling to craft their own versions of the latest dance crazes, a 20-year-old Irish Dancer is blazing a trail of her own.
Morgan Bullock, a junior elementary education major at Virginia Commonwealth University, recently shot to fame for her take on Megan Thee Stallion’s Savage Remix, featuring Beyoncé. The song has spread all over the video sharing platform, sparking a popular dance trend.
But Morgan’s version doesn’t follow the trends.
Instead, she choreographed an original hard shoe routine with lightning-fast steps. In a cropped black t-shirt and athletic shorts, sparkling rhinestones atop her shoes, Morgan captured the dance in a short video. On May 2, she posted to her TikTok account, @yourangleyuordevil and Twitter, @Morrghan.
Morgan literally became an overnight sensation, immediately going viral.
“I started to notice it getting a lot more attention than my usual videos within hours of posting it, but the morning after was when I realized it was going viral,” she says. The following day, she also put the video on Instagram, @morgvn.elizabeth.
Across all three platforms, the video grabbed the attention of celebrities and Irish Dance heavyweights, with an invite from “Riverdance” Associate Director Padraic Moyles to perform with the troupe and praise from the show’s composer Bill Whelan.
