It turns out that Dierks Bentley’s nightmare is our dream as the American Country Music Awards release a new promo sting for the upcoming event. The country star who recently released single Somewhere on a Beach will be co-hosting the event with Luke Bryan, and has poked fun at his nerves with a little teaser clip.
Dierks plays with that fear that you’re in a room full of your peers… completely naked. Judging by the Drunk on a Plane singer’s lean physique we don’t think he has anything to be embarrassed about – even if the legendary Merle Haggard is watching.
The ACM Awards air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3rd, at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS. See the clip below, as well as the full list of nominees.
Keep having this reoccurring nightmare… #acmawards
