The Chicks

The Chicks performed the National Anthem on Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention.

The country music group – formerly known as the Dixie Chicks — performing at the National Anthem was a notable booking for the convention – not just because of country music’s historically conservative-leaning fanbases – but because of the band’s past that has infamously intertwined with politics.

In 2003, before the invasion of Iraq, the band’s lead singer Natalie Maines said at a concert that the group, which got its start in Dallas, did not endorse the war and were “ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”

Their remarks about then-President George W. Bush triggered boycotts and backlash from fans, resulting in country stations across the country pulling the group’s music from the radio. At the time, in March 2003, CNN reported that “station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.”

This was not the first convention appearance for The Chicks, who also performed at the virtual 2020 DNC during the pandemic.
