Garth Brooks is touching on the recent backlash aimed at Bud Light after the brand partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for an ad campaign.
Dylan Mulvaney for an ad campaign earlier this year. Answering a question about his Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, which is expected to open in the near future in Nashville's South Broadway District, Brooks confirmed that he has full intentions of keeping Bud Light stocked behind the bar.
"I know this sounds corny," he said of the venue."I want it to be the Chick-fil-A of honky-tonks … I want it to be a place you feel safe in, I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another. And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this, if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.
Meanwhile, several other bars in the area -- including John Rich's Redneck Riviera and Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse -- stopped serving Bud Light in response to its polarizing partnership with Mulvaney. Kid Rock didn't stop there, opting to share a video on Twitter of himself shooting cases of Bud Light while hurling expletives at the Anheuser-Busch brand.
He continued, praising his wife of 17 years, Trisha Yearwood,"And I'm not saying I do, but I will tell you this -- the person you’re with does make a huge difference in your life." Back in April, 26-year-old Mulvaney shared a video on Instagram to promote a contest for Bud Light while showing off commemorative cans with her face on them to celebrate her"365 days of girlhood" series. The ad drew ire from a vocal portion of consumers, prompting Anheuser-Bush CEO Brendan Whitworth to issue a statement saying they"never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.
