Dierks Bentley says he thinks he may be the Susan Lucci of the CMA Awards. The day-time soap star won her first Emmy after 19 nominations. Dierks has been nominated 12 times for Male Vocalist of the Year, but has never won.

 

In an interview posted on Audacy.com, he said, "I'm super grateful for each one. I've never won that award, but I do get nominated a lot. It would be nice to win.”  

 

Dierks has performed on the show several times and will do so again this year. He’ll be joined by Hardy and Breland to sing “Beer’s on Me.”

 

The CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville on Wednesday (11-10) at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
