The Chicks have no regrets being canceled for Bush remark: ‘Set us free’

Formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, the country trio, composed of lead singer Natalie Maines, 48, and sisters Martie Maguire, 53, and Emily Strayer, 50, were asked if the politically-charged statement is still a “defining episode” of the group’s career.“It’s defining in the way it set us free,” Maines told the Los Angeles Times. “It got us out of this box of country music, which we never wanted to be in and never felt like that’s who we were.”“We didn’t have to do any of that bulls–t anymore.

King Charles’ parade on Saturday — but a viral tweet has joked that it may be the spirits above that have orchestrated it.Responding to a tweet from LLC News, which read, “Disappointment for royal fans as rain and storms predicted for the coronation weekend,” user @lewispringle didn’t even need words when he reply.Instead, he retweeted it with a picture of Princess Diana in that 1995 Martin Bashir interview on the BBC, in which she revealed her then-husband Prince Charles was having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles — and she knew all about it.The tongue-in-cheek picture — suggesting either her spiritual involvement in or simply pleasure about the forecast — has been retweeted more than 15,500 times with topped 118,000 likes since it was posted on May 2.Twitter users loved the insinuation that the poor weather forecast for Saturday had supernatural involvement from Charles’ late ex-wife Diana.https://t.co/CveIrEUQ36 pic.twitter.com/ga3zhz7Ztc“It’s a sign,” one person declared.“Diana will have the last laugh,” agreed another.“The thought of Diana opening the heaves on Coronation makes me giddy,” laughed another.The 1995 bombshell interview was the first time Diana had directly named Camilla — currently queen consort and soon to be queen — as the “third person” in her marriage. Diana also claimed the royal family had been unsupportive in her ongoing mental health battles.The official crowning of King Charles, 74, will take place on Saturday, May 6, with about 2,000 guests filling up the 1,000-year-old Westminster Abbey.Camilla, 75, will be enthroned alongside him as well, officially becoming queen.Charles’ mother, long-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II, died last September at age 96.The ceremony will be helmed by

These 10 Eras costumes were not only BEJEWELED but also GORGEOUS.”One baby wore a tour merch T-shirt, while another was dressed as Swift’s longtime friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran.Swift’s Eras Tour spans 52 dates, 20 stadiums, 10 albums and 44 songs, taking up more than three hours.She is set to play Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in three sold-out nights starting Friday.The “Blank Space” singer recently cut her left hand while performing at NRG Stadium in Houston.“Just got to play 3 insane shows in Houston and I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had.

According to KRON4, the festival was about to announce the song of defiance as the festival’s theme and Snider had been set to perform.“Ultimately SF Pride and Dee have mutually agreed to part ways,” the festival said in a statement, adding that Stanley’s tweet was “transphobic.” It added that the organization was “heartbroken and angry.”On Sunday, Stanley tweeted out a lengthy statement about the increasingly controversial topic of youths undergoing sex reassignment.“There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it.”Stanley’s tweet continued, “There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s, we should lead them steps further down a path that’s far from the innocence of what they are doing.”Snider, who is vocal about his left-wing politics and in 2020 blasted anti-maskers for using his hit song in a video, put his stamp of approval on his fellow rocker’s sentiments, adding,“You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too.
