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.
hey everyone who loves taylor swift and Travis! Guess what we’re not gonna do! Bully Brittany Mahomes!!! Whether you like her or not that woman has completely transformed and empowered women’s sports in KC. She ALSO paved the way for the KC Current’s stadium which is the FIRST—
i really don’t think taylor and travis are pr but the way the media has exploited this whole situation absolutely makes it look like that. it’s time to tone it down. can’t we just… be excited but also let them be? pls. don’t ruin a good thing. thank yewww.
in 10 years the same demographic of pretentious music listeners will be using GUTS to bash the next up and coming young woman, it’s a never ending cycle and olivia’s the current punching bag. it’s so tired.
I spent the entirety of the fourth episode anxious for Marcus that Luca (Will Poulter) was gonna be a toxic pastry demon from Dutch hell that would break him, and he ended up being a firm but thoughtful possible mentor instead? The Bear has NO RIGHT to do this to me 🫠
crying at work because figuring out and discovering your sexuality is such a personal and sometimes lifelong journey. No 18 year old deserves this. death to acting like we are entitled to celebrities personal lives
@PaulinePauwels do it messily and with no expectations for a bit. don’t judge it, just do it to get the feeling back and then as you go usually you’ll find some inspo. no one has to see your messy creative process :)
