Ann Soyars, Dierks Bentley’s original fan, has died. The 67-year-old passed away at her Tennessee home over the weekend following a battle with cancer.

Ladies swooned as one of country music’s resident heartthrobs, Dierks Bentley, stepped up to the mic to deliver his chart-topper ‘Drunk on a Plane’ at the 2014 CMA Awards on Wednesday.

Dierks Bentley is nominated for a total of five big awards at the 2014 CMA Awards, but he remembers a time when it wasn't that easy for him to find his name in lights during Country Music's Biggest Night.

Two of the most nominated artists at the 2014 CMA Awards learned they were winners before the show even started. Dierks Bentley has won the Music Video of the Year award, while Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert took Musical Event of the Year.

The Governors Ball and Electric Zoo have made their marks in the New York City festival market, and now it's country music's turn.

Why do we love Dierks Bentley? Let us count the ways! Killer talent, charming good looks, ridiculously catchy hits ... oh, and this recent heartwarming act: Bentley took a fan battling cancer out of the hospital and onto the road for a cruise in his beloved '67 Camaro.

Trucks and guitars are typically exchanged after a major country tour wraps up (Miranda Lambert bought Carrie Underwood a motorcycle after she recorded 'Somethin' Bad). But Dierks Bentley takes the prize for most creative, unusual and potentially dangerous thank you gift.

Music City may have never seen so many country fans dressed in leather. Choppers, hogs, soft and hard tails and dozens of custom bikes lined Broadway and 2nd Ave. N in downtown Nashville on Sunday afternoon (Sept. 28), the culmination of the 2014 Dierks Bentley Miles and Music for Kids charity ride and concert at Riverfront Park.

Dierks Bentley's 'Say You Do' is a more serious release for the singer following 'Drunk on a Plane.' The video may have one thing in common with the previous, but it's a drastic change musically.

Dierks Bentley is nominated for five CMA Awards, including one for Male Vocalist of the Year, making him the top male nominee. But of all his nominations -- which also include ones for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year -- he says it's the Album of the Year nod for his No.1 album 'Riser,' which was released earlier this year, that means the most to him.

To say Dierks Bentley has a generous heart is an understatement. After all, there aren't many country stars who would hand a guitar over to a 6-year-old kid during a live concert ... but Bentley did just that.

Dierks Bentley has racked up a long list of live shows since the release of 'What Was I Thinkin' in 2003, and the 'Drunk on a Plane' singer is sharing the stories behind some of his favorites.
