Dierks Bentley Class Act at the 2012 CMA Awards

Dierks Bentley and wife Cassidy on the red carpet, CMA Awards 2012

While his fans may be furious over yet another year of disappointment for their favorite artist, Dierks Bentley displayed nothing but class at last night's CMA Awards.  Nominated for three awards - Single and Song of the Year for "Home" and Album of the Year, Dierks took home no trophies.

Instead, he gave a killer performance of Tip It On Back and congratulated his friends who did win.

"had a blast. thought the #cmaawards rocked. especially happy for @LBTmusic. so deserved"

Little Big Town walked away with the Single ("Pontoon") and Vocal Group of the Year awards.  Song of the Year went to Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton for "Over You" and Album was awarded to Eric Church's "Chief."

Maybe someday the Country Music Association will recognize Dierks with a win!

BEAUTIFUL WORLD TO GET A WORLD OF DUET PARTNERS?

Before Dierks did his duet with Marit Larsen on “Beautiful World." during the Nobel Peace concert, he hit the pubs. According to Billboard, “I chalked it up as research, but I hit about seven different pubs, because I wanted to make sure I said her name right on global TV,” Bentley says. “You gotta roll the ‘r,’ slur the ‘s.’” The pairing with Larsen may turn into something more—there’s now talk of Bentley recording the song with various artists around the world.
