Dixie Chicks Win BIg.

The 49th annual Grammy Awards was the normal star-studded event filled with red carpet fashion, performances by Justin Timberlake, Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood and a tribute to the late James Brown. However, with the Dixie Chicks winning all five Grammys they were nominated this years Grammy Awards showed a great political shift since the Iraq Invasion.

The Dixie Chicks was shunned by society with plummeting record sales and threats being made on their life after making some anti-Bush comments in 2003 prior to the Iraq Invasion. Now nearly five years later we ask the question, was it worth it?

Definitely.

The Dixie Chicks stood by their own personal political opinion and was, at the time, punished for it. At the time, it may not have seemed like a great PR move. Yes, the Dixie Chicks made headlines but dropped in sales as well as had threats on their lives. Now we can see that that the Dixie Chicks have recovered from their political turmoil very well.

Winning five out of the five Grammys they were nominated more is an amazing accomplishment which is something that not many artists can say. The Dixie Chicks just keeping making big PR moves to keep in the headlines.

At the close of their acceptance speech Natalie Maines, lead singer of the group, said "Well, to quote the great 'Simpsons' — 'Heh-Heh.'" "Heh-Heh" is right. The Dixie Chicks definitely ended on top.
