Tracy Chapman — who hasn’t performed live in years — just sang “Fast Car” on stage with Luke Combs at the Grammy’s.
The backstory behind this collaboration is incredible.
Combs’ first favourite song ever was “Fast Car”. He covered it in early 2023 as a country version and the song hit #1 on country charts in July.
Chapman owns the song’s composition rights and became the first black female to top the Country chart as a sole writer.
What did she think of the cover?
Chapman told Billboard at the time: “I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke….and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’”
Combs honored the original version, which he first listened to when his dad popped a cassette in the car.
“You want to just be mega respectful of the original song,” says the 33-year old country singer, per CMT. “That’s why in [my cover], it’s, ‘work in the market as a checkout girl.’ I didn’t change that…I really wanted to just do the original version of the song.”
Them performing it together tonight is perfection.
For those who don’t watch the UFC, something incredible happened last night Bryce Mitchell whose from Arkansas, while he was being introduced brought a Bible into the Octagon and yelled freedom, the commentators said that was the first time that a Bible has been brought into the Octagon. After he won, he invited Dan Ige his opponent to pray over the nations, he said he was donating $5,000 to Hawaii, brought the Bible back in to the Octagon, and, rebuked Satan publicly over national TV.
The UFC wouldn’t let him pray over the mic but Dan and him dropped down to their knees in the middle of the Octagon to pray. I’m so thankful there are still people out there who aren’t afraid to speak the name of Jesus
