Luke Combs surprised everyone at the 2024 Grammy Awards. He performed his version of the hit song “Fast Car” with a special guest: Tracy Chapman. Chapman’s appearance on stage was a pleasant surprise for everyone. Especially since he hasn’t performed much since his last tour over a decade ago. Combs detailed the phone call he had with Chapman that ultimately led to her accepting the gig.
“She calls me and I’m sitting alone in the kitchen. My wife is there (taking care of) the baby and stuff,” Combs said.
“We talked for probably 40 minutes, and I think that was the… for her, it was the ‘am I going to do this with this guy?’ Who is this boy? What is it really about? You know what I mean? At least, I think maybe that’s what it was. “It was really easy, man.”
“We just talked. I just talked about music, I talked about that song, I was a fan for sure… You almost never get to have those conversations with people you admire. So, that was really cool, man. And I feel like we just connected on that call.”
Tracy Chapman initially shut down the idea of a Grammy performance
Combs was already scheduled to perform at the Grammys. But Variety says Chapman had initially promised not to take part in any performances despite “popular demand.”
“Combs, who had a big hit with his version of “Fast Car” last year, has already been announced as a performer on the show,” Variety wrote.
Chapman’s appearance is a big surprise, as she has only performed in front of the cameras three times since her last tour concluded in 2009, and the singer had until now resisted popular demand to cash in on the “Fast Car” revival. as an international phenomenon.

“We had an overzealous security guard, but my team and I have the utmost confidence that I will ultimately be cleared of any wrongdoing. Until then, keep listening. Miguel and keep chasing your dreams.”
