The Chicks, formerly known as The Dixie Chicks, are set to perform The Star-Spangled Banner at the Democratic National Convention, highlighting their complicated political history.
In 2003, Natalie Maines, at a concert, openly criticized the Iraq war and expressed shame over President Bush being from Texas, which ignited a backlash.
After a long hiatus, The Chicks dropped 'Dixie' from their name in 2020, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, marking their evolution in response to social issues.
Despite the band's efforts to re-enter the music scene with their album Gaslighter, they faced ongoing challenges from the predominantly conservative country music industry.
