I would argue that probably one of the biggest and first examples of "canceling" someone was conservatives/country music blacklisting The Chicks (formerly Dixie). They were one of the biggest acts in music as a whole before they spoke out against Bush, afterward they were absolutely wiped from the format.

These people whining about cancel culture tried to change the name to Freedom Fries. They tried to cancel french fries.
