      What about them? Country music group, changed their name because of the intonations of Dixie south and its connection to human rights abuses?

      Lady Antebellum, too. They arent cancelled, they made wonderful music and still perform.

        Just that the right tried to cancel them. Whether they succeeded is besides the point, I think? Because it’s an example of them engaging in cancel culture.
