A Virginia Commonwealth University student has gone viral for her unique take on a song that led to a popular dance on TikTok. On May 2, Morgan Bullock, a rising senior, shared a video of herself performing an Irish dance to Beyoncé’s remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage”. The original song, which was released on March 6, sparked a widespread choreographed dance challenge, thanks to fellow TikTok user Keara Wilson. Bullock’s version of the remix sees her impressively tapping to the beat of the song. Since it was shared on TikTok, it has received nearly 700,000 views and more than 2,000 comments. The video caught the attention of Beyoncé’s mother, who reshared the clip. Leo Varadkar, Ireland’s Prime Minister, also shared the footage on Twitter and invited Bullock to dance in Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day 2021. “It’s something a lot of people haven’t seen before,” Bullock told WKRN. “A person of color doing Irish dance is different for a lot of people, but I think it’s important to recognize the difference between appropriation and appreciation”
