A country remake of the song gains popularity.

The song is from a black woman.

Country music has a stigma of being for racist whites.

Before we receive backlash for celebrating a white man's rendition of a black woman's song, we will honor her at our own awards ceremony to jump in front of any potential controversy.
Luke Combs has been performing the song at shows and giving her props for years even before he did a cover of the song. Them giving her props didn’t just start last night.

For the record, some country fans are mixed about the song and have same opinion that posters do in here about it.

Nice version:ehh:

🤡 : “This isn’t a country song!”

Clowns in here thinking she needs to wear a cowboy hat and big ass boots for this to be considered country/folk…
I agree it’s not country. Posting that live version was not a country endorsement. It’s rare for live to be as good but she is playing that country geeeeeeetarrrr 👩🏽‍🌾

Its funny to me because in black households her big hit was always Give Me One Reason To Stay so I didn’t hear Fast Car until I was an adult and had no idea it was actually her biggest hit

To be honest with you he is probably only doing that because those Country artist saw Chris Stapleton get busted for trying to steal a whole ass Etta James song.

What's there to be mad about? It was a cover song and they honored her. The original song ain't a country song. Most times with cover songs that blow the original artist is barely acknowledged. Like how many people know the original Tainted Love was done by a black artist?



Beldar did it better. :yeshrug:
