January 30, 2025

Tracy Chapman on stage at the 2024 Grammy Awards

The famously private artist dazzled at the 2024 Grammys with her unofficial lesbian anthem, originally released in 1988.

With the 2025 Grammy Awards set for Sunday, February 2, we’re revisiting some queer and queer-adjacent performances from Grammys past that will never fall out of tune. And we’d be remiss not to mention one of last year’s most unexpected and incredible moments—when Tracy Chapman surprised audiences by performing her unofficial lesbian anthem “Fast Car” alongside country star Luke Combs.

Chapman, who has long chosen a quiet life in San Francisco away from the spotlight, delivered a performance that left fans in awe. Combs’ cover of the song had taken the charts by storm in 2023, introducing the timeless track to a whole new generation of listeners. The perfect blend of past and present, across musical genres no less, showcased “Fast Car”‘s staying power and let the music industry show some rare in-person gratitude to the brilliant artist who created it.
