At a recent Kid Rock concert in Nashville, many fans voiced their opinions on the ongoing Bud Light controversy, revealing a shift in their beverage preferences for the Fourth of July holiday.

When asked about their drink of choice, several attendees expressed their disapproval of Bud Light. "Anything but Bud Light," one concertgoer, Rich, told Fox News, suggesting Heineken Light as an alternative. Another attendee, David, echoed the sentiment, firmly stating, "No Bud Light. Not here."

However, not all attendees shared the same view. A couple, Sean and Lauren, stated their indifference to the controversy. "I'm fine with it. Bud Light's fine," Sean commented, with Lauren concurring, "Oh, yeah. I don't care."

The controversy stems from Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, which triggered widespread boycotts and significantly impacted the company's sales. Kid Rock was among the first prominent figures to publicly criticize the partnership.

Another concertgoer, Aaron, explained his abstention from Bud Light, citing the "nationwide boycott" and emphasizing his stance as a "freedom-fighting American." Dan, another attendee, shared that he had pre-controversy Bud Light in his refrigerator that remained untouched for months.

Recent sales data reveals a considerable decline in Bud Light sales, with Modelo Especial surpassing it as the top-selling beer brand. Ron, visiting from Phoenix, expressed his broader concern about companies taking political stances, stating, "Regardless of the company, once they get involved politically, then I don't want to support that." He emphasized the power of consumer choice, adding, "You get two votes in this country. You get your first vote at the ballot. The second vote is with your wallet."

Despite Kid Rock's public disapproval of the partnership, his Nashville bar still offers Bud Light on its menu. Nevertheless, many former Bud Light drinkers at the concert declared their switch to other brands like Corona, Miller Lite, Firestone, and 805. One attendee succinctly summarized his sentiment: "I don't care who loves who, don't ram it down my throat."
