Considered one of the biggest nights in music, the 66th Grammy Awards teased a spectacular show as they welcomed performances by Joni Mitchell and even Billy Joel. Not to mention Miley Cyrus won her first Grammy and then put on a stunning performance. Among the numerous performances of the night, Luke Combs teamed up with the talented Tracy Chapman to give a duet of “Fast Car.” With the duet both elegant and timeless, the country star recently took a moment to honor Chapman, calling their time on stage a “defining moment” of his career. 

Sharing numerous pictures of the Grammy Awards on Instagram, Combs gave a behind-the-scenes look. But while he appeared to have a great time, the country star focused on one person, Chapman. He captioned the post, writing, “What an unreal Grammy week to say the least. There were so many laughs, tears, hugs, and cheers that it almost doesn’t seem real.” He added, “When it comes to the performance it’s still hard to process how amazing it really was to be up there on that stage.
