In 2007, the Dixie Chicks won three Grammys for "Not Ready to Make Nice" and two Grammys for "Taking the Long Way", receiving all five Grammys for which they were nominated. This was seen by some as vindication for the Dixie Chicks, who were shunned by country radio programmers after Maines's remarks about President Bush. As the Dixie Chicks accepted the album of the year award, Maines said, "I think people are using their freedom of speech with all these awards. We get the message."
