The Chicks’ Bandmates Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer Open Up About How They Approach Social Media These Days 

During an October 2022 interview with the Austin Chronicle, The Chicks’ bandmates Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer spoke about how they, as well as fellow bandmate Natalie Maines, handle social media these days. 

“Natalie has completely removed herself from not only social media, but email,” Maguire explained. “I’m so jealous because I hate how many emails I get.”

However, Maguire revealed that Strayer gets “sucked” into people directly messaging her and commenting on social media posts. “That can be good and bad,” Maguire said. When it comes to her approach to social media, Maguire admitted she just ignores everything. “I don’t really read comments. You know, I’m too sensitive. There are people out there just trolling to troll and being mean, and I don’t like when people are mean.”

Meanwhile, Strayer says the main issue she has with social media is getting sucked into home interior remodels. She also described Twitter as being a really mean place. “ thought I was off for like three years, but our management informed me that it didn’t take, so I’m on there, but haven’t done anything. I feel like Instagram is happy people being creative, for the most part – animal videos, kitty cats.”
