Describing the importance of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Luke Combs said, “Tracy is such an icon and, I mean, one of the best songwriters that, I think, any of us will ever be around to see.”
While all of the performances were stellar, there was one that everyone could not stop talking about, and that was Tracy Chapman joining Luke Combs on stage to sing her hit song “Fast Car.”
This was the first time Tracy has performed “Fast Car” live in nine years, and she notably performed the song at the Grammys in 1989 when she took home the award for Best New Artist.
From our partners:
This year, Luke Combs received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Solo Performance for his cover of “Fast Car.” Luke’s rendition of the iconic song even earned Tracy a Country Music Award for Song of the Year, making her the first Black songwriter to win the award.
Luke has consistently put Tracy’s incredible artistry front and center while celebrating the success of his “Fast Car” cover. After Tracy said she was “honored” to have a No. 1 on the Billboard country chart, Luke added, “The success of my cover is unreal and I think it’s so cool that Tracy is getting recognized and has reached new milestones.”
All of this brings us to the 2024 Grammys, where Tracy and Luke performed the song together, and it was beautiful.
The way Luke was so excited to be on stage with her, you could tell how special this was for him.
