Tracy Chapman is a singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the late 1980s with her hit song "Fast Car." She wrote the song in the late '80s, but it saw a resurgence in 2023 when Luke Combs covered it, and it became a No. 1 country hit. Chapman became the first Black woman to top the country charts with a sole songwriting credit. She won the CMA Award for song of the year in November 2023 and performed the song with Combs at the Grammys. Chapman has been nominated for two ACM Awards in 2024 for "Fast Car," including single of the year and song of the year, which she shares with Combs.
