Megan is a 21-year-old waitress from Douglasville, Georgia, and boy, can she sing! Her performance of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” on Monday night was particularly special. Why? Well, it was a tribute to her grandfather, who she had sung the same song for at his funeral about a year earlier.
One of the judges even praised Megan for her commitment to her faith after hearing her sing. It was a truly emotional moment, and the audience was left in awe.
Host Ryan Seacrest couldn't help but express his admiration for Megan after the song, saying, “I can’t imagine what you were feeling during that performance. You definitely honored him.”

Western Journal reported that judge Luke Bryan then revealed that he had been the one to choose the song for her, then complimented the singer for her courage in sharing faith.
“What I love about you — I mean, we’re way beyond loving your voice — is you’re, you know, you’re never scared to tell everybody your faith,” Bryan said.
That song’s meant a lot to me, and my loss,” Bryan said. “And you were perfect. You were perfect.”
Bryan may have been referring to the loss of his brother in 1996 in a car accident, and his sister, who died suddenly in 2007 from unknown causes.
Megan's performance was a testament to the power of music and the love we have for our family. We can't wait to see what else she has in store for us!
