What's the situation?

Ever been to a concert where the music was so good, you just couldn't help but dance? 🎶 Or maybe you were watching a really tense movie and found yourself gasping along with the characters? 😱 That's exactly when you 'get swept up'! It means you're so immersed in an experience or feeling that you lose track of everything else. It's often used for positive emotions like excitement, but you can also get swept up in a bad mood or a difficult situation.
