Every night is a champagne night when Lady A is in the house. That was certainly the case when Lady Antebellum zoomed it to The Tonight Show for a rendition of “Champagne Night,” a lighthearted track that emerged from Songland. The country trio’s virtual performance had some digital touchups for a warm, summery island vibe. It’s the place we all want to be right now.  |

Lady Antebellum performed on the Season 18 finale of The Voice on Tuesday night (May 19), joining together for an at-home performance of their current single, "Champagne Night." The trio consisting of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood gave a fun performance of the light-hearted song, joined by their band members and a series of guests as they played a virtual game of beer pong and danced to the music. http://instagram.com/p/CAZJqIBIxrE They joined a roster of all-stars that included Bon Jovi and the Jonas Brothers for an episode that also showcased performances from the remaining contestants before revealing the winner of Season 18 of The Voice. The group recently released "Champagne Night" to country radio as their new single after choosing it as the winning song when they served as the guest artist on Songland for the week on April 14. The members of Lady Antebellum co-wrote the song alongside show mentor Shane McAnally and contestant Madeline Merlo. "Champagne" is the first song from the show to be released as a single. http://instagram.com/p/CAZQE_MIj__ The hit making trio performed “Champagne Night” on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 11.

Seattle blues singer Anita White, who performs under the name Lady A, was a guest on a recent episode of Desus & Mero. She stopped by the show to discuss the ongoing controversy brought about by country band Lady Antebellum, who recently changed their name to... Lady A.
The country group initially scrubbed the word “Antebellum” from their name to due its connotations with American slavery. “It’s like they woke up one day and were like, ‘woah, woah woah: ‘Lady Antebellum’ makes people think of slavery? Since when?!’” Desus said, adding: “Anytime you say the word ‘Antebellum,’ in the back of your mind you hear ‘Strange Fruit.’ It’s not a fun word.” “It’s ironic that they wanna be ‘woke,’” Anita White told Desus and Mero. “But at the same time, you only wanna be partially woke.” Watch the full interview below.
White—who is currently being sued by the country band over the “Lady A” trademark—also discussed her Zoom conversations with the group. “The first thing I said was, ‘I do not want to share the name.’” She also inquired about the realities of both parties being called Lady A. “‘What does coexistence look like?’” she asked, stating that nobody would answer that specific question.
“I had already been grinding before they were born, that’s what gets me,” White told Desus and Mero. She added: “Black people, indigenous people, people of color—we’ve had our artistry, our music, our language our culture, and our names taken from us. You can’t continue to take from us. Because if you’re going to be an ally, you need to put some power behind your words. If you’re going to be an ally, sometimes you have to give up something.” White then showed Desus and Mero her very own trademark: a “Lady A” tattoo on her left shoulder. “I am the real Lady A,” she said.
