Tracy Chapman Earns Rapturous Standing Ovation After Rare Live Performance of ‘Fast Car’ With Luke Combs


Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs took the stage together at the 66th Grammys to perform the hit song "Fast Car."

Tracy Chapman always knew she “could be someone.” But could the folk singer have predicted in 1988, the year she released “ Fast Car,” that she would perform her now-iconic song alongside country artist Luke Combs at the 66th Grammy Awards? Dressed all in black, Chapman kicked off the first performance at the Grammys to the sounds of voracious cheers from the star-studded audience which included Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson. The beloved indie tune is known for its delicate acoustic guitar melody and substantive lyrics meditating on familial strife, poverty and dreams of creating a better life alongside a loved one.
