Meteoric is a perfect word to describe the rise of Lady Antebellum from the nightclubs of Nashville to the top of the country music charts and headlining venues across the country. The trio, formed in 2006 by vocalists Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley and multi-instrumentalist Dave Haywood, had success in their bloodlines. Kelley's brother, Josh, is a singer/songwriter and Scott's mother is GRAMMY-winning country singer Linda Davis.

In late 2007 the trio released their debut single, "Love Don't Live Here," which was subsequently featured on their self-titled debut album. Released in 2008, Lady Antebellum also featured "I Run To You," which soared to No. 1 on Billboard's Country Singles chart and earned Lady Antebellum their first career GRAMMY for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. The trio's crossover appeal soared in 2010 when their follow-up effort, Need You Now, exploded in popularity, with the title track hitting No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song netted Lady Antebellum Record Of The Year at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards and the album garnered Best Country Album honors.

Lady Antebellum continued their status as one of country's hottest acts in 2011, when Own The Night became their second studio album to top the Billboard 200. The album also earned Lady Antebellum a GRAMMY for Best Country Album at the 54th GRAMMY Awards. The trio's fourth studio album, Golden, was released in 2013.
