The country group The Dixie Chicks, are changing their name. The group, which is made up of Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Strayer, have dropped the word “Dixie” and will now be just “The Chicks.” The move follows a decision by Lady Antebellum to change their name to “Lady A” after acknowledging the word’s association to slavery. The Chicks are the best-selling female group in America with more than 33 million albums sold in the United States, and are releasing their first new album in 14 years next month.
