Whatever Happened to the Dixie Chicks and Why Were They “Banned”?

It was a ban that lasted for well over a decade… until Sept. 4, 2019, when KWJJ, a country music station in Portland, Ore. played Taylor Swift’s “Soon You’ll Get Better,” a track that features the Dixie Chicks. Mike Chase, one of the hosts of the station, talked about the feedback they received after initially playing the song and posting a link to it on their Facebook page. Divisive would be a good way to describe the response, even after all these years.
