The Dixie Chicks kicked off the American leg of their DCX MMXVI world tour in Ohio with not-so-subtle imagery that appeared to show their feelings about the upcoming presidential election.

While performing Goodbye Earl from their 1999 album, Fly, during a Wednesday show in Cincinnati, a video montage was screened featuring a photo of Trump with devil horns, a mustache and goatee.

The band, made up of Natalie Maines, Emily Robison Strayer and Martie Maguire, performed the song about two friends who murder an abusive husband in front of the defaced Trump backdrop.

The use of the vandalized image of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is not the first time the musical trio have been outspoken about conservative politics, AOL reported.

The image that appeared on Wednesday recalled the controversial time back in 2003, during a Dixie Chicks show in London, when Maines slammed George W Bush for his plans to invade Iraq.

'Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas,' she said at the time, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Once news of her comments reached stateside, it caused a nationwide controversy that included fans and radio stations boycotting the their music, and the Dixie Chicks being stripped of sponsorship deals.

Twelve years later, Maines tweeted in reference to that incident: 'Just so you know, 12 years ago today, over half of this country had lost their minds and some questioned my knowitallness. #dummies.'

And earlier this year, she took a swipe at Trump, tweeting: 'As long as Donald Trump's decisions for America are as solid as his decision about his hair, we're in good shape.'

While Maines is quite candid about her political views, she is aware her commentary can have an enduring impact.

In a 2013 interview, ten years following her infamous comments about Bush, Maines told the Rolling Stone: 'I joke that I have PTSD, but there's probably truth in that joke.'

She also noted the fallout following her comments was one of several factors that sent her into therapy, according to Women In The World.

The Dixie Chicks have sold more than 30 million albums, including the multi-platinum albums Wide Open Spaces and Fly.

They have earned 13 Grammys and their last album, Taking the Long Way, came out in 2006.

The Grammy-winning country group started their American leg of the tour on June 1 in Cincinnati which will wrap on October 10 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, with Canadian dates to follow.
