Lady A has been nominated for eleven and has won five. The country band currently has many performances lined up for the upcoming year. Artists sharing Grammys is not a new thing. It’s happened 31 times before this.

One operator took a video of the performance on the 31st of January. Although the video was not able to be put into the article it showed just how much the group deserved the nomination. The fact that not only was a Christian group nominated, but a singer in Maverick City also won a grammy.
