To say that Lady A had a controversial 2020 would be an understatement. All of the drama began when they made the switch from Lady Antebellum to Lady A amid the Black Lives Matter Movement. While their intentions were “to be a part of [the] change,” they also had a feeling their name change was “going to alienate” some of their fans.
Things seemingly got messy when a singer of the name Lady A filed a law suit against the band. At one point, the compromise was to change their name to Lady A the Band. However, it seems that they may have worked things out with the other singer since they are still using the Lady A moniker.
