Anti-war activist country group The Chicks (formerly known as the Dixie Chicks) will reportedly show up at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Convention</a> to sing the national anthem.
On Thursday, multiple sources told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/22/entertainment/the-chicks-to-sing-national-anthem-at-dnc/index.html">CNN</a> that the female trio &#8212; Emily Strayer, Martie Maguire, and Natalie Maines &#8212; will be on hand in Chicago to sing the Star Spangled Banner ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris officially being named the Democratic presidential nominee.
The group also appeared virtually at the DNC in 2020, which was not held in person due to COVID-19, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/08/22/g-s1-18907/the-chicks-national-anthem-democratic-national-convention">NPR</a> noted.
In the 90s, the group from Texas was one of the biggest success stories in country music until they faced a massive backlash in 2003 when one of the singers in the band, Maines, said she was against then-President George W. Bush and the Iraq war following the September 11th terrorist attack.

Speaking to the crowd at their concert in the U.K., Maines said, “We do not want this war, this violence and we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”
A backlash ensued with country music stations all over the nation refusing to play their songs, the outlet noted.
At the time, CNN reported that “station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.”

The DNC has been a parade of one celebrity/performer after another. Rabid anti-abortion activist singer Pink is also expected to show up and perform at the DNC on Thursday for the closing night of the convention, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rabid-abortion-activist-pink-to-perform-at-dnc">reported</a>.
Per a Chicago NBC <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/dnc-chicago-2024/pink-set-to-headline-final-night-of-dnc-in-chicago-perform-before-harris-acceptance-speech/3528327/">affiliate</a>, the 44-year-old singer is scheduled just before Harris takes the stage to accept her party’s nomination.
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, has been an outspoken supporter of the Democratic Party, and specifically of abortion access, for years. She reacted strongly to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 by telling fans they should stop listening to her music if they were pro-life.
“Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons (sic) business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***ING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F*** RIGHT OFF. We good?” she tweeted at the time, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/they-hate-you-pnk-gets-personal-attacking-sad-old-white-men-in-anti-gop-screed">reported</a>.
