Lady Antebellum Is Now ‘Lady A’ – Thanks to Friends and Colleagues

Lady Antebellum has listened to fans and the group has decided to make a major change.  From now on, they will be known as Lady A, dropping the slavery-associated word “Antebellum” from their name.

In a long statement posted to social media, the group said, “When we set out together almost 14 years ago, we named our band after the southern ‘antebellum’-style home where we took our first photos.  As musicians, it reminded us of all the music born in the south that influenced us … Southern rock, blues, R&B, gospel and, of course, country.”

The group noted the recent protest and conversations with Black friends and colleagues as the spark to make the change.
