According to Variety, there is a report that Luke Combs will be performing with Tracy Chapman at the Grammy Awards in 2024. Tracy Chapman is not known to make frequent public appearances, but she may make a special exception for this event.
According to insiders familiar with the situation, Variety has reported that Chapman and Luke Combs will be performing "Fast Car" together on stage. Chapman's hit song from the late 1980s tells the story of a couple trying to break free from a cycle of poverty. In 2023, Combs included a cover of the song on his album Gettin' Old, which helped propel "Fast Car" to the top of the country radio charts.
If Chapman decides to perform at the Grammys, it will be a significant and unexpected moment that will likely be highly discussed. According to Variety, she has only appeared on camera three times since 2009, when she finished her last tour.
Combs has openly expressed his desire to perform "Fast Car" with the original songwriter and recording artist. His team stated in July that while there were no current plans for a collaboration with Chapman, Combs would be thrilled if the opportunity presented itself.
Chapman, who has mostly kept a low profile since the popularity of the song, has made a few statements in support of Combs' success with "Fast Car." She expressed happiness and gratitude towards Combs and the new fans who have embraced her song. Chapman mentioned that she was surprised but honored to see her song on the country charts.
During the 2023 CMA Awards in November, the song "Fast Car" was awarded Song of the Year. This award is specifically for songwriters, and 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 a message from her was read out loud from the stage after her win was announced.
"I regret not being able to attend tonight. It's a great privilege for my song to be acknowledged again 35 years after it was first released. Thank you to the CMAs and a special thank you to Luke and all the fans of 'Fast Car'."
Combs' song "Fast Car" has been nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at the Grammys this year. This nomination is his seventh at the ceremony. If he wins, it will be his first Grammy award.
The 2024 Grammy Awards will be held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on February 4, 2024. The event will be shown on CBS and also available for live streaming on Paramount+.
