They spent the next decade at the top of the charts, before going on ahiatusin the late 2000s.
So if you thought the Dixie Chicks were done, you were wrong thank goodness!
So what else is there to know about the insanely talented trio?
And why did they really take a 14-year hiatus?
Read on to discover the untold truth of the Dixie Chicks.
How did the Dixie Chicks get their name?
So where did Maguire and Strayer come up with the moniker of Dixie Chicks?
That experience forever changed the trio, and understandably so.
“It all put an ugly light on people that I was kind of happily naive to.”
That was something that Martie Maguire pondered at a 2011 Taylor Swift concert with her daughter.
What an inspiring moment!
“I’m so proud of this album.
No matter what happens with it,” Emily Strayer gushed in an interview withAllure.
“It might be a slow burn; it might be a quick burn.
I don’t know, but it will find its way to our fans.”
So it might not matter if radio stations decline to spin Dixie Chicks records at all.
“So I didn’t have tools to know how to deal with them or acknowledge them.”
It was intense, to say the least!
“I was shocked that people thought that we were different than what we were,” Maines continued.
“I always felt like we were so genuine.”
Only time can tell.
They told Sony that they planned to stop recording with the label with paperwork, as noted byCBS News.
Clearly they were not backing down!
With both parties satisfied, the Dixie Chicks were clear to release their albumHome.
“And I remember Martie [Maguire] was freaking out.”
But it was great," she continued.
“I was right that was just the beginning of her learning that I am right!”
“I’m trying to learn the piano, or I’ll pick up a ukulele.”
“It’s still very rare.”
Rare, maybe, but, thanks to the Dixie Chicks, it’s a reality.
“I never want to leave my house, ever.
I hate going out,” she confessed in a chat withAllure.
“I’m an introvert.”
That sentiment was echoed by Martie Maguire, who also describes herself as an introvert.
“I hate thinking about clothes,” she explained toRolling Stone.
“I hate shopping.
I haven’t gotten a manicure or pedicure in six years.”
She also loves hersuper short haircut, though she admits her children wish she would grow it back out.
Sorry, kids, but that’s probably not going to happen.
Why did the Dixie Chicks take such a long hiatus?
Rather, as Martie Maguire explained, all three of the women had family obligations to attend to.
Sounds like they had their hands full!
“I think the tour in 2016 really solidified our want to do this,” Strayer added.
As to how that will happen, the trio believe that their children will be a force for change.
“I actually feel like there’s a shift happening right now,” Martie Maguire toldAllure.
“I’m amazed when I hear my daughters with their friends.”
She added that it gives her hope to see her children be so open-minded on issuessuch as gender.
Emily Strayer agrees, and she shared that she’s learning a lot from her kids' generation.
“It’s the young people that are going to save the world,” she proclaimed.
