Dierks Bentley Talks Hosting the ACM Awards (Top Story)
. "There's one thing to be a singer or songwriter, but to be entertainers is a whole different category. That's why I love some of the legends of country music, they can entertain with or without a guitar, they're just funny people. So it's definitely a challenge; taking it on [isn't] something I could just step into. I gotta put a little time into it, but I'm going to have a great time." He notes that he's been friends with Luke Bryan for a long time, and feels that they'll have a great rapport. "You know Luke, he just has this kind of 'pass,' I guess: he can just say whatever he wants to say, whenever he wants to say it, and for some reason it's always funny. I don't know why, but he's got that thing. Having him as a co-host is a huge help. He's done it before, so he's got some experience. We've got some stuff to work out, but at the same time we don't want it to be too fixed, we want it to be loose and fun and kind of represent the vibe of the ACMs in Las Vegas, which is a good time. So I think some of those screw ups can work in your favor as well." "I've known Luke since before he's had a record deal with Capitol," he continues. "I've always been a big fan, we've toured together a lot in the past, he's opened for me and now recently I've been opening for him. And to watch him become one of the biggest superstars in all of music has been a lot of fun because I love the guy, so yeah, we're good friends. And it should be something we'll have a lot of fun doing together and hopefully we'll pull it off. Either way it's going to be a big party in Vegas. " Read more - here.
