Lady A, the Grammy-winning country music group formerly known as Lady Antebellum, has decided to stick with its recent name change after speaking with Seattle-based blues singer Anita White, who has been performing under the name Lady A for decades and recently called the country group out for co-opting it.

“Today, we connected privately with the artist Lady A,” the country group Lady A said Tuesday. “Transparent, honest, and authentic conversations were had. We are excited to share we are moving forward with positive solutions and common ground. The hurt is turning into hope. More to come.”
