According to a report from Variety, there is a possibility that Tracy Chapman may make a rare appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards, where she is expected to perform alongside Luke Combs. Chapman is known for keeping a low profile, making this potential performance an exciting prospect for fans.
According to insiders, Chapman and Luke Combs are set to perform "Fast Car" together on stage. The song was originally a folk-pop hit from the late 1980s that tells the story of a couple trying to break free from poverty. Surprisingly, Combs included a cover of the song on his album "Gettin' Old" in 2023, which helped propel it to the top of the country radio charts.
If Chapman does decide to perform at the Grammys, it will be a significant and surprising moment that will likely generate a lot of buzz. Variety reports that she has only appeared on camera three times since her last tour in 2009.
Combs has openly expressed his desire to perform "Fast Car" with the original songwriter and recording artist. Despite the country cover reaching No. 1 in July, his team stated that there were currently no plans for a performance with Chapman. However, they mentioned that he would be very excited if the opportunity did present itself.
Although she has mostly kept a low profile since the song became popular again, Chapman has made a few statements expressing her support for Combs' success with "Fast Car." When the song reached No. 1 on the country charts, she mentioned that she was pleased for Combs and thankful for a new group of fans who are enjoying her song. She also mentioned that she never thought her song would be on the country charts, but she is grateful for the recognition.
During the 2023 CMA Awards in November, the song "Fast Car" was awarded Song of the Year. This award is given only to the songwriter, so it was given to Chapman, who became the first Black woman to win the CMA Song of the Year as the sole songwriter. Chapman was not present at the ceremony, but a message from her was read out loud after her win was announced.
"I regret not being able to be present with you all this evening. It is a great privilege for my song to be acknowledged once again, 35 years after it was first released. I am grateful to the CMAs and especially to Luke and all the supporters of 'Fast Car'."
Combs' song "Fast Car" has been nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at this year's Grammy Awards. This is his seventh nomination at the event, and if he wins, it will be his first Grammy award.
The 2024 Grammy Awards will be taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on February 4, 2024. The event will be televised on CBS and can also be streamed live on Paramount+.
