Last year, Blanco Brown’s Git Up became the song that made us want to get up and dance. However, no one more than Megan Pesek. In June 2019, she was hit head-on by a drunk driver and spent eight weeks in a wheelchair. After she got out of the wheelchair, she still had a long recovery to go.
On September 18, 2019, she sent a DM to Blanco Brown, telling him that she listened to his song Git Up every day, and it inspired her to git up. In that note, she promised the singer that one day she was going to dance to it.
Eleven months later, Megan kept her promise, and she is line dancing to his Country song with her daughter. It just goes to show you the power of music to heal people, especially a really happy song like this one.
Brown saw the inspirational TikTok, posted it and wrote, “This made my heart smile and I’m only sharing the Dm screenshot because she wrote it on the video… Just now seeing her update today… Love ya and keep going! This is what music is for… I haven’t won a award but this is the biggest reward! #Purpose Needs No Validation!!! ✅ @smilelove0215 Blessings #TheGitUp ☺️ I pray that people would stop drunk driving 😤”
I am not crying, you are crying. In a time where everything is such a downer, it is nice to see a story of joy! If she can Git Up, so can we. So Do-Si-Do over to your music player, play the song and dance!
