The feud with Keith ended abruptly in 2003, and it was actually Toby Keith who ended it. Allegedly, that August, a member of Keith’s band lost their 2-year-old daughter to cancer. Keith learned about it and it made him reconsider what he was doing.
“A few days after I found she didn’t have long to live,” he told Contact Music in 2003, “I saw a picture on the cover of Country Weekly with a picture of me and Natalie and it said, ‘Fight to the Death’ or something. It seemed so insignificant. I said, ‘Enough is enough.'”
At the time, Keith was adamant that he didn’t start the feud. “People try to make everything black and white,” he told Contact. “I didn’t start this battle. They started it with me; they came out and just tore me up. One thing I’ve never, ever done, out of jealousy or anything else, is to bash another artist and their artistic license.”
Toby Keith Ended Dixie Chicks Feud in 2003 After Tragedy Struck His Band: “It Seemed So Insignificant”
Toby Keith eventually ended the feud with the Dixie Chicks in 2003 after he learned of a tragedy in his band and had a change of heart.americansongwriter.com
It went both ways, pretty hard to give one side a pass while the other not. It was 20 years ago, and lasted about a year. Get over it! JFC is right!
Dont think the Dixie Chicks or whatever they want to be called now, are innocent in it.
How about we just stop pissing on a mans grave. I am sure you have not been perfect your entire life and would not want people bringing up every bad decision you made or decisions they didnt agree with in life as an excuse to celebrate your death.
Great reference there. I never will understand why some folks here can be so toxic and essentially be glad that someone died because they didn't like them. We all have loved ones and I don't think any of us would like it if some stranger were to sound like they were happy they passed because they didn't like them. To feel anger and hatred towards someone because of their politics is just a lame and petty excuse to hate someone.
