If true, this is huge. Up til now, we’ve been told by Luke Combs that he’s had no direct contact with Tracy Chapman since turning his cover of her 1988 hit “Fast Car” into a massive country and pop hit. While Chapman did congratulate Combs in a statement, apparently they never had any communication either before or after the song took over radio last summer.

That story may not hold true for much longer. “Variety” is reporting that the folk rocker and the country superstar are planning to duet on the song at Sunday night’s GRAMMY awards. No one’s talking on either side, and the Recording Academy isn’t saying anything either – but if it happens, it will be a minor miracle; Chapman has only performed for the cameras three times since wrapping up her last tour in 2009, and the singer had thus far resisted the any suggestions to take advantage of the resurgence of “Fast Car” as an international phenomenon.

We’ll find out Sunday night; the GRAMMYs will air live from 8-11:30 p.m. ET/5-8:30 p.m. PT from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
