Crazy to me how "Fast Car" managed to stay relevant after all these years. It's a testament of how beautiful and poetic Tracy Chapman's songwriting and performances are. Seeing her perfomance at the grammys made me cry. This song will continue to reach new generations and audiences because that's just how timeless it is!

How is it possible that she somehow sounds even BETTER now? I listened to this album a million times when it came out and her voice has acquired a little bit of rasp and patina and it adds warmth to the sound. And her voice goes great with Luke's rich baritone.

[@stepanova8]

@@redshot1015 That's actually not a lot of musicians. I think the point was that the overall performance was stripped back with the vocals of Tracy and Luke being forward in the mix. It's one of the rare occasions where the Grammys live show actually got the mix right. It wasn't flash, or bombastic, or overly produced. It was just a very simple, competent performance by two talented individuals. It was, for a lot of reasons, the best performance of the night.

This performance sure makes all those people look ridiculous that made all those ridiculous comments about Luke covering it. You can see how much this song means to him and how special this moment is for him. I very rarely listen to the radio cause todays music isn’t my thing. But I was driving home from work yesterday with my 10 year old son because it was bring your kid to work day and this came over the radio. Always loved this song and i have it certain special memories because of it, but it was my first time hearing Luke’s cover and I thought it was beautiful. Led me down this rabbit hole leading me here and reading about all the bs drama prior to this moment on stage. Simply put it was perfect and it’s obvious how special this shared performance was

[@malvoliosf]

Chapman’s voice has actually gotten sweeter over the years. How does that happen? The slight grittiness to her younger voice made the original recording even more touching, and I miss it. Still, an amazing duet.

[@horaciotorruco]

Ironic that the best performance of the Grammys of the past 20 years doesn't have any of dancers, crazy outfits, pyrotechnics and nothing of that stuff that put music in the second term. A reminder that you only need true musicians singing from the heart.

Best duet ever. She's a legend. He's terrific. What a performance. Leaves me speechless each time I see and listen to it.

[@Marshwife]

She’s definitely blinking back tears as she first starts singing… the look of gratitude from the cheers.. raised eyebrow in surprise.. wonderful that she had this moment..peers and fans cheering loudly..!

[@MrGeneric2011]

100% true statement. Luke was giving her full credit for the song and clearly in awe to be singing with her. But she looked every bit as thrilled to be there with him and grateful that through him her song meant so much to so many people.

[@richardford5755]

Two great entertainers....no politics. Crowd is into it. So was I.

[@helgelorenz7187]

So beautiful 🫶

[@dontbmadjusbcareful]

🤦

[@oceancrosby4578]

I'm a young musician and I saw pretty much the exact same thing, the cheers from the crowd, big time respect from Luke Combs, and there was Taylor Swift standing alone and singing evert word of the song. What a magical moment.

[@kanelfc98]

One of the best live performances of all time, the grammys got something right with this one.

[@ejtruth4637]

Yeah so take that jay z 💪

[@scotthockenberry3085]

Oh yeah. What a moment. I was pleasantly surprised to see Tracy perform this great song

[@georgejcox9241]

True that.

[@markgalbraith9139]

Easily a top 10 Grammy moment

[@georgejcox9241]

What a top individual Luke was showing Tracy the respect she deserves was awe struck by him singing with a legend

[@Joanne1974KiwiGirl]

The GRAMMY audience was craving this. I haven't heard such a genuine cheer of appreciation at the GRAMMYs in YEARS, as when they realised it's Tracy Chapman.

[@Cascadia471]

What's really so very sweet is the way Luke looks at Tracy Chapman with wonder, adoration and a bashfulness that makes him duck his head when she smiles back. And Tracy Champman's delight in HIS joy and their performance together. It's simply a love fest from the heart.

[@leahartlee29]

That's part of why we love it so much! (besides the awesome song and their great sound!) A big part- there is so much heart here!

[@nicolewade160]

Absolutely perfect way to put that

[@mattresslady7940]

I love him ❤ And this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just love it and I never thought I could find someone that could sing it like her, but in his own version. And just as amazing..... Both of you guys ROCK ❤

[@donnawallace9938]

He's in awe of her talent. They sound so good together. I'm looking forward to more duets with these 2.

[@Carthybp]

She still looks amazing. And her voice still sounds like the first time I heard it in the 80s. Tracy Chapman is a goddamn legend.

[@romelnusdorfer6375]

That’s the same thing I was thinking and her humility is even more beautiful. I love her!

[@suehaynie5054]

When you were sure of yourself, you can be humble . . . And that is beauty. Isn’t that what Fast car was all about❤

[@V3ganBr33]

Rather hear this that Taylor swifts crap any day. Tracy shows how it's done. Without auto tune

[@JulyMoon82]

​@V3ganBr33 There's no need to put someone else down in order to attempt to uplift another. There's room both Tracy Chapman and Taylor Swift. If for some reason you prefer the music of one over the other, then listen to what you like. But putting someone else down isn't necessary to give a compliment.

[@leendecanck4723]

She is so beautiful here.

[@user-ud7pk7ei9d]

She has the best smile, they sounded and looked amazing together

[@TheDevilkain1]

What i love about this song, is I'm old enough to remember when the original came out in the 1980s, and I loved it, but also love this newer updated version ❤ what made me love it even more is he managed to get her to come and perform this song with him live on an awards show, which she rarely does...it made for a magical moment in my eyes ❤❤

[@AzucenaPerez]

Tracy Chapman is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Luke Combs for bringing this song back 35+ years later.

[@nyckathleen]

I was just saying to a friend after this that she's one of those people that has become more handsome with age

[@healthyarizona]

Is she not one of the most stunningly beautiful people you have ever seen? Its her face and her beautiful voice but also she radiates joy.

[@vickifox5447]

She is absolutely gorgeous! Her voice, guitar, & performance absolutely perfect. We can all only aspire to age that well.

[@BoudicasMom]

Tracy looks just amazing. She's aging so beautifully & she obviously doesn't need to resort to fillers, Botox or any other means to hide her aging.

[@chickengrizzle]

I said that secretly as a metal head in 1989 but now, I’m proud to say “Damn Tracy, you are gorgeous!” 😎👍♥️

[@jimshezar]

it's not that she still got it, it's that she never lost it. NEVER. Tracy is and always will be a legend

You can tell she’s waited 40 years for this moment. And then there’s Luke. The way he looks at her while’s she’s singing like he can’t believe this is happening makes me cry every time.

[@nkystevep7007]

I like Luke’ s version but the thing that makes me love this song so much is Tracy’s beautiful voice.

[@mmartin685]

Two talented singers and just the instruments. Nothing fancy, no busy backgrounds or distracting dancers--just the beautiful MUSIC.

[@jamescarlson3151]

There's something in the humble demeanor of both of them that's really moving. No diva shit, not hogging the spotlight - both acknowledging the other in a respectful way. Especially Combs, who apparently grew up with the song and has enormous respect for Tracy Chapman. More duets please.

[@ronpaizley9349]

This part

[@aaronkrolikowski6599]

In a time of such divisiveness, it almost brings you to tears seeing two people from two totally different walks of life performing such a timeless song. Chapman wrote one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever, and you can tell that Combs is just totally humbled to share the stage with her. This performance gets you right in the feels on so many levels.

She looks happier , great song , in any era’

[@thabilldozer]

I remember the first time I heard Tracy sing this. 1984 at the Nameless Coffeehouse in Harvard Square Cambridge Mass. I was working as the light and sound tech, and she was a regular performer at the Nameless. My heart fell silent as I listened to her that night. She had released this song along with several others on a local label, and it was an instant local hit. When she won several Grammys 5 years later I was not surprised. She started out as a street musician in Harvard Square playing in the main entrance of the Co-op. It was an honor to have worked with her back then, and to see her reach the heights of fame. And here it is 40 years later, and as I sit here watching her perform my heart fell silent again. I am in complete awe of who she is.

I remember going to CO at a young age. Leaving everything behind, taking just a trunk load of everything I owned. Everything else I threw away. I needed to get out of the place I was in. I listened to this song over and over in the way there. That moment in my life was the most free and best time of my life.
