Lady Antebellum changes name in support of Black Lives Matter movement

Lady Antebellum says it needs that name no more.

The country-pop trio — which won Record and Song of the Year Grammys for the 2009 smash “Need You Now” — have renounced the name that fans have known since Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott joined forces in 2006.

The trio broke down on Twitter just why — in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody and the Black Lives Matter movement that has intensified in its wake — it is changing its name.

As of Wednesday, call them Lady A.

They are still around? First I’ve heard that name in years.

More sheep getting in line.

But it won't last long. They'll have to change it to something else. There's already a female singer Lady A, who's been around for about 20 years.

That's a stupid name anyway, they should have never used it in the first place.

It’s coming back with a rage.

The group "Confederate Railroad" is also thinking of a change.
The "Dixie Chicks" are looking into it and Dolly Parton's "Dixie Stamped".

I hope they go down in flames just like the Dixie Chicks did after what they did to President Bush.
