Amid a standing ovation, acclaimed artist Tracy Chapman gave an outstanding performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Dressed all in black, she accompanied herself with her guitar and shared the stage with country music performer Luke Combs.
There was no shortage of emotions in the audience, since Chapman, 59, does not usually perform frequently. In addition, the artist conveyed the message of her song Fast Car, which tells the story of a working woman seeking to escape poverty.
This single earned Chapman the Grammy for Best Pop Performance in 1998. In total, the artist has been nominated for these awards 13 times and has won 4 of them.
In 2024, Chapman appeared together with Luke Combs, because Fast Car also represents a success for him. In 2023, he performed the single in a country style and generated renewed interest in the song.
This montage by Combs even earned him a nomination for Best Country Performance at the Grammy Awards. However, the winner in this category was Chris Stapleton, for his piece White Horse.
