“These days, everybody’s saying anything and everything that crosses their mind and people are getting cancelled left and right. I’m kind of proud to have been the first,” says Natalie Maines. 🎙️ carsonsarah interviews thechicks
saw her wrestling with her management and her father about whether to criticise Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn for her voting record on women’s and LGBTQ issues. The message was: “Don’t be like the Dixie Chicks.”To Maines, looking back, the furore feels “comical”. Has she ever regretted it? Never. “It’s a part of our history. And it kind of cleaned house.”, and a defiant single, “Not Ready to Make Nice”. They were vindicated. They won acclaim, won all five Grammys they were nominated for.
Maines, Maguire and Strayer are about to pause their lives as parents of teenagers and become that force of nature together once more. Their European tour – which includes a show on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Sunday, and supporting Bruce Springsteen’s concerts at Hyde Park in London in July – is the first time they will perform songs fromhere. For Maines, the three-year delay has been no bad thing. “If we’d had to perform it back in 2020 I might have been a ball of tears.
Divorce is one thing all three have experienced – five in total – and it still feels starkly rare to hear women writing about it, and the children involved, with such frankness. Adele’s. “Young Man” is addressed to Maines’s eldest son, who is now in their band; she was “holding back tears” the first time she had to rehearse it.
“They’ve gotten to see the arc of our songwriting,” points out Strayer. “As hard as it is for them to hear the realness of lyrics about the bad stuff, they’ve also gotten to see us from young women, starting with ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’ and the dreamy ‘we’re all falling in love’ stuff, all the way to where we are now. They get to see the good, the bad and the ugly. At least for my girls, I feel like it’s a healthy thing to start a conversation.
I ask if the popularity of social-media misogynists like Andrew Tate makes them worry for their children’s generation. They think his views are nothing new. “It’s just not hidden,” says Maguire. “Now it’s out in the open, maybe that’s part of the solution. What people used to do behind closed doors, or think, now they’re falling on their sword, exposing what they truly are.
