Headline: Tracy Chapman is 1st black songwriter to win CMA Song of the Year

Caption: The 2023 CMA Awards took place in Nashville on Nov. 8. Chapman's 35-year-old song, "Fast Car," was recently brought back into the spotlight by Luke Combs, who covered the song. His rendition hit No. 2 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 over the summer. The recognition helped Chapman secure the nomination and ultimately win song of the year, 'ET' reports. The feat makes her the first Black songwriter to win that award at the CMAs. Chapman wasn't able to accept her award in person, but Sara Evans shared a statement in her absence.
