Chapman sang “Fast Car,” a song she’d written in college.
From the start, the song had helped Chapman get a record deal.
For instance, she lives in San Francisco, which even some residents were unaware of.
Chapman has been similarly reticent about her love life.
Like Chapman, Walker had a desire to minimize her time in the spotlight too.
While their relationship was private, Walker asserts it was common knowledge to the people living in her neighborhood.
“My life is not to be somebody else’s impact,” Walker explained toThe Guardianin 2006.
Sadly, by that time, Walker explained that she and Chapman were estranged.
“It’s my life,” Walker told CBS (viaCNN).
“If she didn’t want people to know, we should not have dated.”
The two women have attended events like the Sundance Film Festival together.
However, neither one has ever provided any intimation of a relationship.
Even when pressed for information about romantic partners in interviews, Chapman has refrained from naming any individuals.
However, Chapman did disclose that she and the unnamed person remained good friends.
Chapman has also commented that keeping her private life under wraps helps her as an artist.
