As one of the most anticipated performances of the 2024 Grammys, Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs did not disappoint during their duet of Fast car.
As previously reported, the performance was announced earlier this week. Variety reported that Chapman had not performed the hit song for years. Although Combs was also announced as a performer for the event, Chapman initially decided not to perform despite “popular demand” from the music community.
While on stage, Chapman picked up his guitar and performed alongside the country superstar. The audience was so interested that the cameras focused on Taylor Swift singing.
