Originally Lady A was known as Lady Antebellum.
Due to protests over the Antebellum South and Slavery the group decided to change their name to Lady A.
That same week ( due to the Band’s ignorance ) Blues and Gospel singer ” Anita White ” came forward and claimed that she had always performed under the Lady A name.
After many months and many Lawyers in backrooms… Anita White agreed that for a payment of Five Million dollars to her and an additional payment of another Five Million to be paid to Seattle Charities, Black Lives matter, plus a Legal Defense Fund for artists. She would give up the name.
Even though they had an agreement between them it took a Tennessee court and two more years to settle the name change.
Apparently, everyone… is now happy.
