Luke Combs left an iconic mark crafting a truly unforgettable performance alongside
00:06
the legendary Tracy Chapman.
00:12
Together they created a musical masterpiece with their flawless harmonies and expert guitar
00:17
playing during the rendition of the classic "Fast Car."
00:20
As they stood side by side, the audience, including the iconic Taylor Swift, couldn't
00:29
help but be captivated by the soulful collaboration, transforming the venue into a symphony of
00:34
cheers and applause.
00:36
Tracy Chapman, with her understated yet radiant charm, opted for simplicity in a sleek black
00:41
dress shirt, complimented by jeans and elegantly pulled back hair.
00:45
In contrast, Luke Combs, known for his handsome and polished style, took the stage in a black
00:50
blazer layered over a crisp dress shirt, presenting a perfect visual harmony to their musical
00:55
prowess.
00:56
They both looked amazing, and it was only them on the stage, they didn't need anything
01:00
else and it was iconic.
01:02
The electrifying performance resonated throughout the audience, with none other than Oprah herself
01:07
expressing enthusiasm in her signature Oprah way, contributing to the magical ambience
01:12
of the entire night.
01:13
The synergy between these two musical powerhouses made this particular Golden Globes performance
01:18
a standout moment in the awards show's history.
01:21
Luke Combs exclusively told people that he began performing Fast Car because it invoked
01:26
happy childhood memories with his father, Chester Combs.
01:29
He said "When I was five years old, my dad and I would be in his truck, and he would
01:33
always play music for me.
01:35
He had a Tracy Chapman cassette tape, and Fast Car is one of the first songs I remember."
01:47
He told that to People "I've always been a huge fan of it, and I think of my dad and
01:51
our time together when I hear it.
01:53
I always thought it was one of the best songs of all time, so I guess I shouldn't be too
01:56
surprised," said Luke Combs.
01:58
"But there's nothing like Tracy's version, so I thought it would just be a nice compliment
02:02
to the original, but never really expected mine to take off quite the way it did."
02:05
Ahead of Combs' acknowledgement on the song's personal, emotional significance, Tracy Chapman
02:10
spoke out about the cover with a billboard in July.
02:12
"I never expected to find myself in the country charts, but I'm honored to be there."
02:17
She continued to praise Luke's version to the outlet.
02:19
"I'm happy for Luke and his success, and I'm grateful that new fans have found and embraced
02:23
Fast Car."
02:24
Tracy Chapman was just 24 years old when the song came out.
02:27
Fast Car was the lead single off Tracy Chapman, and it received a massive boost after Chapman
02:32
performed it at the Mandela concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
02:36
Then a relatively unknown artist, she was added to the bill at the last minute after
02:40
Stevie Wonder dropped out.
02:42
Other performers for Grammy night include the singer's former collaborator, Travis
02:46
Scott, along with Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, Burna
02:52
Boy, U2, as well as SZA.
02:55
Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Lionel Richie, Mark Ronson, Maluma, Meryl Streep,
03:02
Samara Joy, Taylor Tomlinson, and Oprah Winfrey are set to present.
03:07
Overall, the performance was magical.
03:10
Tracy Chapman is a beautiful human being with music that changed the lives of many.
03:14
The story Luke Combs told about his father is truly touching.
03:17
I think both of them are the most humble and amazing human beings.
