The group won five awards at the 53rd Grammy Awards, including the coveted Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Need You Now".

Lady Antebellum was formed in 2006in Nashville, Tennessee, by Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott. Scott is the daughter of country music singer Linda Davis,[3] and Charles Kelley is the brother of pop and country artist Josh Kelley.It was these family connections and music industry ties that helped launch the band.

Kelley moved to Nashville in mid-2005 from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he had been working construction with his brother John. Trying to become a successful solo country artist, Kelley convinced his old middle-school classmate, Haywood, to move to Nashville from Georgia in 2006 so they could write music together. Shortly thereafter, Scott recognized Kelley from MySpace, and they started to talk at a Nashville music club. Kelley invited Scott to join him and Haywood in the new group, which assumed the name Lady Antebellum.

On the BBC Radio 2 Drivetime Show on the 9 August 2010, the band explained to the host, Liza Tarbuck, that the name Antebellum comes from when the group were photographing "antebellum" homes. The antebellum architectural style describes the large plantation homes in the American South. "Antebellum" more commonly refers to pre-Civil War America, especially the pre-Civil War culture in the slave holding southern states.

This has generated some controversy over the band's name and accusations that it glorifies a lifestyle only made possible through slavery.While photographing the houses one of the group said that there's a great band name in there, and they adopted the Lady Antebellum name shortly after.

The trio then began performing at local venues in Nashville before being signed in July 2007 to a recording contract with Capitol Records Nashville. In an interview with Sirius Satellite Radio, Scott claimed she was rejected from the hit show American Idol two times, not even making it past the first round.In August 2009, the group released their fourth single, "Need You Now", the lead-off single and title track to their second studio album. It debuted at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and became their second Number One hit on the charts for the week of November 28, 2009.

"Our Kind of Love" was released as the third single from the album on May 31, 2010 and went No. 1 in September 2010. Their fourth single from this album, "Hello World", was officially released on October 4, 2010.The album was released on January 26, 2010 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts for the week of February 2, 2010, selling 480,922 copies.Four weeks after the album's release, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
