   The country-rock performer is among those apparently triggered by the beer   
   giant's decision to partner with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist   
   and influencer   
      
   If you’ve spent any time on the internet this week, you’ve probably seen   
   the viral video of Kid Rock — near a lake and wearing a gray “MAGA” cap on   
   backward — shooting at a table topped with a stack of Bud Light cans with   
   an assault-style rifle.   
      
   “Let me say something to all of you and be as clear and concise as   
   possible,” he says in the short clip, which has been viewed nearly 50   
   million times since it was posted to Twitter on Tuesday night. He then   
   opens fire on the beer cans and adds: “F*** Bud Light. And f*** Anheuser-   
   Busch.”   
      
   So, you might be wondering, why is Kid Rock shooting Bud Light cans with   
   an assault-style rifle and cursing out the beer and its parent company?   
      
   Well, the answer, as it turns out, is fairly simple and has nothing to do   
   with the country-rock performer’s taste in domestic beer.   
      
   What triggered Kid Rock?

   On Saturday, Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender actress, activist and   
   influencer, posted a video to Instagram promoting Bud Light as part of a   
   sponsored partnership with the brand.   
      
   In the video, Mulvaney appears dressed as Holly Golightly, Audrey   
   Hepburn’s character in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” showing off a custom Bud   
   Light can with her face on it. The company sent it to her, she said, to   
   help her celebrate one year of “girlhood” — a milestone she recently   
   reached in her transitioning.   
      
   Right-wing media figures, including some on Fox News, quickly called for a   
   boycott of Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch, the St. Louis-based company that   
   produces over 100 beer brands, including Budweiser, Busch, Michelob Ultra   
   and Stella Artois.   
      
   Who else is boycotting Bud Light?

   On Wednesday, country music star Travis Tritt announced a boycott of all   
   Anheuser-Busch products.   
      
   “I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality   
   rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same,” Tritt wrote on   
   Twitter. “Other artists who are deleting Anheuser-Busch products from   
   their hospitality rider might not say so in public for fear of being   
   ridiculed and cancelled. I have no such fear.”   
      
   “In full disclosure, I was on a tour sponsored by Budweiser in the ’90s,”   
   he continued. “That was when Anheuser-Busch was American owned. A great   
   American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became   
   unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame.”   
      
   Tritt also posted a photo of a Jack Daniels ad campaign featuring   
   contestants from the “Ru Paul’s Drag Race” reality series.   
      
   “All the @JackDaniels_US drinkers should take note,” Tritt tweeted.   
      
   Why is Mulvaney so popular?

   Mulvaney is one the most visible trans activists on the internet, amassing   
   more than 1.7 million followers on Instagram and nearly 11 million on   
   TikTok.   
      
   Her popular TikTok series "365 Days of Girlhood" — in which she   
   meticulously chronicles her experience of transitioning — has attracted   
   sponsorships from other high-profile brands, including Nike.   
      
   Anheuser-Busch, for its part, defended its collaboration with Mulvaney.   
      
   “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as   
   one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various
