According to a report from Variety, it is said that there may be a performance by Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman at the 2024 Grammy Awards, even though Tracy Chapman is not known for making many public appearances nowadays.
According to insiders, Chapman and Luke Combs will be performing together on stage to sing "Fast Car," a folk-pop hit from the late 1980s that tells the story of a couple trying to break free from poverty. The song was unexpectedly covered by Combs in 2023 and became a hit on country radio charts after being included in his Gettin' Old album.
If Chapman decides to perform at the Grammys, it will be a significant and unexpected moment that will likely generate a lot of buzz. Reports from Variety state that she has only been seen performing on camera three times since 2009, when she finished her last tour.
Combs has openly expressed his desire to perform "Fast Car" with its original songwriter and singer. Although his team stated in July that there were no current plans for a collaboration with Chapman, they mentioned that he would be thrilled if the opportunity presented itself in the future.
Even though Chapman has kept a low profile during the revival of the song, she has made a few statements showing her support for Combs' success with "Fast Car." She expressed her happiness for Combs and gratitude for a new group of fans who are enjoying her song. Chapman mentioned that she never anticipated being on the country charts, but she is pleased to be included.
During the 2023 CMA Awards in November, the song "Fast Car" received the Song of the Year award. This award is given to the songwriter of the song, so Tracy Chapman became the first Black woman to win CMA Song of the Year as the sole songwriter. Chapman was not present at the ceremony but did send a message to be read out loud from the stage after her win was declared.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the event tonight. It is a great privilege for my song to be acknowledged again after its release 35 years ago. I am grateful to the CMAs, as well as to Luke and all the fans of 'Fast Car'."
The song "Fast Car" by Combs has been nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at this year's Grammy Awards. This nomination is Combs' seventh at the Grammys, and if he is victorious, it will be his first Grammy win.
The 2024 Grammy Awards will be held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on February 4, 2024. The event will be televised on CBS and will also be available for live streaming on Paramount+.
