I feel like someone like Taylor Swift is at a level far beyond the Dixie Chicks though, although I could be wrong I was very young in 2003. Also Taylor Swift is at this point just a pop artist whereas weren’t the Dixie Chicks very much a country music act, and relied on that country ecosystem much more? I honestly don’t know what would happen if Taylor swift said from the river to the sea but it feels like it’d be much harder to destroy her since she’s such an institution at this point, while the Dixie chicks were a just really big country act
Dixie Chicks were a crossover act - I didn’t listen to country back then, but I knew “Wide Open Spaces” and their “Landslide” cover from the pop stations I listened to. There were quite a few pop-country crossovers back then - Faith Hill (“Breathless” was huge on the pop charts) and Shania Twain (“I Feel Like A Woman”) are the other big ones I remember.
Not even really critical… it was something like they said they were not proud that he was also from texas… while playing a show in london.
That situation was crazy. My understanding is it was mainly a way for neo fash to flex their new internet muscles. They certainly made an effective demonstration.
Yall ever heard of the Dixie Chicks??

Yeah, they got deleted for being critical of Bush 2
