Grammy Awards 2024 had a special element in it. This year’s event was graced by some stars who had seemingly vanished into the background, retiring from their music journey. Martina Navratilova, who is an avid music fan, loved watching the event and praised a star who surprised the world with her performance.
While Navratilova loved watching the event, some tennis legends were battling it out in another sport at that time. The bout, clashing with the music award show, was preferred by many American audiences, and some even bashed the Grammys.

Chapman, who did her last tour in 2009, came out to perform with him later and won over many, including Martina Navratilova. She shared a picture of her sitting on the stage at the Grammys and performing with her guitar. With the picture, Martina Navratilova also shared the caption, “Magical Tracy!!!”.
