Dixie Chicks
Southern female trio
The Dixie Chicks were an American country music group, later renamed The Chicks.
They became famous in the 1990s for hits like "Wide Open Spaces" and notorious in 2003 when lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President George W.
Bush, triggering boycotts and death threats that effectively ended their mainstream country career.
The controversy became a landmark case in debates about celebrity speech and cancel culture.
