"Got tied up" vs. "was tied up"
There are two differences:
(1) "got" is more casual; "was" is more formal.
(2) "Was" describes an existing state (or condition). "That is how it was." "I was infatuated with the girl."
"Got" decribes the process which led to the state. "I got/became infatuated with the girl."
