Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs duet

Reclusive musician Tracy Chapman gave a surprise performance at the ceremony.

Chapman - who has performed live just three times since her last tour in 2009 - took to the stage alongside country superstar Luke Combs to perform her 1988 single 'Fast Car'.

Wearing a low-key black t-shirt and jeans, with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, Tracy, 59, smiled broadly when the audience erupted in cheers as she began singing and playing guitar before Luke, 33, joined in on the track.

The country star's 2023 cover of the song had made chart history when it became the first song entirely written by a Black woman to top the Billboard country charts.
