For Bud Light, the partnership with Garth Brooks, following the controversy with Dylan Mulvaney, represented a continuation of its engagement with socially progressive themes. However, the backlash highlights a critical challenge for brands attempting to navigate the complex terrain of “woke” culture. It reveals a growing divide in consumer expectations, where brands are often caught between advancing social progressivism and adhering to traditional values that resonate with a significant portion of their market.
