Legendary singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman’s beloved anthem “Fast Car” was one of the biggest songs of its time, and for good reason.
Country artist Luke Combs’ 2023 cover blew up the charts as the fresh take reminded everyone of how good the original was while putting a new, satisfying spin on it.
During Sunday’s latest Grammys ceremony, Chapman and Combs finally joined together to perform the song live, and everyone was thrilled to see this collaboration finally take place.
The two did a fantastic job of balancing out each other’s takes on the song, and everyone in the room at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles loved the performance.

All the viewers at home were thrilled to see Chapman and Combs take on the song together, as it put Chapman back in the spotlight to earn some very deserving love as her biggest hit re-entered the zeitgeist with Combs’ cover last year.
Tracy Chapman released Fast Car when she was 24, you can pretty much kick your feet up and take the next four decades off when you do that https://t.co/GMlxPI8oqL
