Garth Brooks, widely recognized as one of the most prominent country musicians, has recently engaged in an action that has caused his fans to question their loyalty towards him. Read on to discover more about the incident that has drawn the ire of his supporters.
The announcement made by Garth Brooks has left many country music enthusiasts astonished. The singer has forged a partnership with none other than Bud Light for his latest endeavor, opting to offer the beer at his Nashville bar. Defending his decision, Brooks claimed that his bar would serve as a place of unity and acceptance, offering “every brand of beer” to cater to all tastes. In an unfortunate turn, he went as far as labeling those who prefer alternatives to Bud Light as “an a**hole.”
Consequently, there has been a significant backlash from individuals who are displeased with the singer’s remarks. One such individual, Michelle, a long-time fan of Brooks since the 90s, expressed her dissatisfaction through a tweet, concluding with a declaration of boycotting his endeavors. Other fans also expressed their anger, stating their intention to boycott not only his bar but also his music. A user tweeted, “I have discarded everything bearing Garth Brooks’ name from my life.”
Brooks attempted to clarify his decision by emphasizing his appreciation for diversity and his desire to support it. He expressed, “I value diversity and believe in embracing everyone, ensuring all are welcome.”
The controversy surrounding Bud Light first arose earlier this year, in April when the beer company sent cans to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. In response, Mulvaney created videos of herself dressed as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, explaining the beers and the opportunity to win money through the company’s sweepstakes. In the videos, she also mentioned that it marked her 365th day of womanhood, which the company celebrated by sending her a customized can adorned with her image. The partnership with a trans influencer prompted significant discontent among people, who criticized the beer company for promoting such a platform. Country singer Travis Tritt publicly declared his intention to sever ties with Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser’s parent company, due to their decision to send beer to a trans influencer.
