Country trio Lady Antebellum dropped"Antebellum" from its name Thursday, per a social media post from the Grammy Award-winning group.

"We are deeply sorry for the hurt this has caused and for anyone who has felt unsafe, unseen or unvalued," the statement said."Causing pain was never our hearts' intention, but it doesn't change the fact that indeed, it did just that. So today, we speak up and make a change." "We are committed to examining our individual and collective impact and making the necessary changes to practice antiracism," the statement said."We will continue to educate ourselves, have hard conversations and search the parts of our hearts that need pruning — to grow into better humans, better neighbors."
