Awkward.
Guess what happens when you overreact to the mob and make a decision based completely on proving how much you CARE … you pick a new name for your band that appropriates the name of a black, blues singer who you didn’t bother to reach out to beforehand.
Awkward and oopsie.
Blues singer lambasts Lady Antebellum’s name change, says she’s been Lady A for 20 years
USA Today- Seattle-based blues singer Lady A, who is Black, blasted the country group in an Instagram post, saying: “How can you say Black Lives Matter and put your knee on the neck of another Black artist? I’m not mad..I am however not giving up my name, my brand I worked hard for. #GodWillFightMyBattle #TheRealLadyA #LadyABluesSoulFunkGospelArtist #TheTruthIsLoud”
She told Rolling Stone no one from the group — featuring members Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood — reached out to her prior to revealing the name change.
“This is my life,” she told the magazine. “Lady A is my brand, I’ve used it for over 20 years, and I’m proud of what I’ve done. This is too much right now.”
~~~~ Snip
Seattle based?
Oh well, your name has been stolen. CHAZ!

Quick – change your name to Lady Ante Fah – as in fahbulous
‘Lady A’? … sounds like it’s related to ‘Chablis, ‘The Doll’ in ‘Midnight In The Garden Of Good & Evil’
(boy, was Kevin Spacey type-cast in that movie, or what?)
…it doesn’t matter what they call themselves. Their former fans have already named them, but it would look weird for a supposedly “country” act to write stuff like THAT on a non-rap album cover…
Hah! I don’t care who you are, that’s funny. Get woke go broke you stupid mothafuggas!
…how ’bout call them CLEARANCE?
…’cause that’s what the bin all their non-selling albums will be chucked into says on it ANYWAY, might as well roll with it…
Speaking of Awkward
That combo wrap leapt out like organically
But damn. . . that was a real porcelainlike sink
Crack the window and wait a few
She got CHAZed.
That’s like lighting the bag of poop on your neighbors front porch and stomping it out yourself. They really stepped in it. Who are they again?
They claim to play country music. Hank Williams is rolling over in his grave.
I guess it’s half of “T and A”.
The woman in the Trio is Linda Davis’ daughter who had hits in both country and Christian Contemporary music. Very good singer and very nice looking.
Not my type of music, but at least it tries to send a good message instead of killing people.
Hillary Scott also did a lot of Christian music and was a main personality on some children’s shows earlier in her career.
I’m not interested enough in looking into the other members but they also seem like decent people. They had nothing to apologize for and now they look like jackasses to anyone who would have listened to their music in order to appease the type of filth that would never would have.
Too bad. I have a Blu Ray of theirs and they should just “SHUT UP AND SING!”
So many concerts I no longer watch because the entertainer had to get politically correct and factually incorrect!
If they want to get their fans back, just change the name to “Lady A”…k-47.
Chalupa.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Rick – no more than Taylor Swift. The “country” label is a means to an audience, and nothing more.
The band has actually been referred to as Lady A for quite some time. It’s when they tried to incorporate it that things got a little sticky. They might want to consider a new attorney.
And now ladies and gentlemen lets give a warm welcome to the Pandering Assholes!!!!!
@Chalupa – or “Lady Ante-Up, as in settle the soon to be filed lawsuit by the real Lady A.
‘Pho Kn A’ is taken too….it’s #10 on a thai restaurant I used to visit….
Now they have to quit. lol

@LCD – you are correct. They all come from wealthy families, which helps when you are trying to make it in the music biz. Of course, writing and performing good songs helps as well. I saw them in concert 10 years or so ago, and they were very entertaining. I don’t know anything about their music since then.
They are playing at the Grand Ol Opry next week with Brad Paisley (tv only – no live audience). it should be a good show.
Do these people not know how to Google a name to see if it’s taken?!!
Or, how to check the WhoIs on GoDaddy to see if another company owns the domain?
Sheesh…
Going through my album collection looking for music to burn.
I guess there will be no burn tonight.
You can’t make this shit up.
Lady AOC. There has never been a lady AOC.
Lady A A A… Get atta heah!
it’s a little long, but I’m sure no one has it.
What was the name of that other Female singing group that went far left in pandering? An LOST ALL ITS popularity?
Any one still listen to the Dixie Chicks after they attacked the USA for the Iraqi War? Can you say NOSE DIVE IN RECORD SELLS? ….
Lady Auschwitz.
There. Problem solved.
How about Women Antebellum? No?
They should just name themselves ‘The Karen’s’!
How about ‘Florida Man’?
Lady A1 Steak Sauce
@willysgoatgruff try 99.3 WCON in Cornelia, GA. You might even hear Merle Haggard. Can maybe get on iHeartRadio?
Lady Appease the Left are progressive elite, Bush clan types. Their Christianity is looking very pukey – Revelation 3:14-19. Doesn’t matter that they’re talented, if they’re insufferable SJW.
