With no press release or official announcement, country music stars Dixie Chicks stealthily became The Chicks this morning. The band suddenly changed all of its social media handles and its website, the latter of which now leads to an all-black landing page with the band’s new video for the song March March embedded above a stark quote reading, “If your voice held no power, they wouldn’t try to silence you.”

The band’s move follows another high-profile country music reckoning; earlier in June, Lady Antebellum changed its name to Lady A in order to remove the connotations of slavery.
