Who performed "Wildflowers" at the 2018 Grammy Awards with Chris Stapleton?
Answer
Emmylou Harris
Answer
Emmylou Harris
Emmylou Harris performed “Wildflowers” with Chris Stapleton at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Their duet was part of the ceremony’s In Memoriam tribute at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, held on January 28, 2018, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“Wildflowers” was written and recorded by Tom Petty for his 1994 album of the same name. Petty died in October 2017, so the Grammy performance honored him as part of a broader tribute to musicians who had died during the previous year. Harris and Stapleton performed the song as a restrained country-rock ballad before the ceremony moved into the wider memorial segment.
The question can cause confusion because Stapleton was also a major performer and winner at that ceremony. He won three awards, including Best Country Solo Performance for “Either Way,” Best Country Album for *From A Room: Volume 1*, and Best Country Song for “Broken Halos.” Harris, rather than Petty himself, supplied the duet vocal alongside Stapleton.
