Country Band Lady Antebellum Changes Name Following George Floyd’s Death

The hit country group Lady Antebellum announced they have changed their name to Lady A and dropped the “Antebellum” due to the word’s ties to “slavery.”

“We’ve watched and listened more than ever these last few weeks, and our hearts have been stirred with conviction, our eyes opened wide to the injustices, inequality and biases black women and men have always faced and continue to face every day,” a statement on Lady A’s website read Thursday. The post was noted by CMT.

“Now, blind spots we didn’t even know existed have been revealed,” the message added. “After much personal reflection, band discussion, prayer and many honest conversations with some of our closest black friends and colleagues, we have decided to drop the word ‘antebellum’ from our name and move forward as Lady A, the nickname our fans gave us almost from the start.”

I like it!

They were one of my favorite groups,too. They are so talented they didn't need to do this.

As for me,I am now done with them.

I suppose they might have changed their name to "Lady Postbellum", but then everyone would call them "Lady P".

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Surprised The DIXIE Chicks haven't followed suit.

Both "Dixie" and "Chicks" are problematic with today's perpetually aggrieved.

LOVE the Dixie Chicks.
I like their version of Landslide better than the original.

@sneakypete

LOL!  Actually, the reason I posted that video was because I never thought of them as a "Country Band".

Incidentally, that video has 831 MILLION hits already.

Lady Antebellum is now “Lady A” — but so is a black blues singer who’s performed music under the name for 20 years. “For them to not even reach out is pure privilege,” says the woman with the original moniker https://rol.st/3d0i9XP
