Dierks Bentley: Taylor Swift Makes Football ‘Easier’ At His House

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Dierks Bentley is excited for Super Bowl LVIII, and because of Taylor Swift, he and his whole family, including his two teenage daughters and wife Cassie, will join in on the fun.

Dierks told us, “I have been watching every single playoff game. It’s a great thing. In my house is the Kansas City Chiefs because my daughters love Taylor (Swift). Any dad out there who has daughters knows what I’m talking about. She has made football much easier to watch at my house. Everybody’s down with it now, so I’ve been able to watch a lot of playoff games with my family, which is amazing. I’m not out there in the garage. I’m allowed to be in the main part of the house watching football, and it’s so fun.”

Bentley says he’s full throttle this year on the big game and all that surrounds it. He offered, “As far as the Super Bowl goes, I have no idea who’s going to win, but I’m there for the whole thing. I’m there for the pre-show concerts, the introductions, our National Anthem, the half-time show and of course, the game. It’s going to be awesome.”

He concluded, “I have no idea who’s going to win, but I just hope Taylor Swift makes her flight from Japan back to the game because that’s what we all want to see. That’s going to be the most followed flight. It’ll be followed more than the Santa Tracker.”

Super Bowl LVIII, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11. It will air live on CBS.

Dierks took to the ice during Nashville’s epic eight-inch snowstorm in January, adding a layer of ice as rain and sleet fell in the Music City (1/18). Bentley, his son, and some friends commandeered an iced-over Nashville pond to play their favorite sport outside as temps remain in the 20s and overnight in single digits.

Dierks posted a video clip of the fun game on his Instagram. The guys easily take to the ice in the clip and dart down the pond. At one point in the video, Knox takes the puck as Bentley says, “Knox, get ’em,” and his son scores. He captioned the post, “Pond hockey in #Nashville…! Big kids vs. little kids.”

6 Country Superstars That Should Play Super Bowl Halftime

  • Luke Bryan

    Luke is all about having a good time on stage, and his energy and hit songs make for a great show for his double-booked sold-out arena shows. He has also become a Las Vegas performer in the last couple of years, which helps. When we interviewed Bryan recently, he shared his thoughts on if he ever got asked to play a Super Bowl halftime show. He told us, “I think I would certainly love the opportunity to do a Super Bowl Halftime show. I think the beauty of someone in that role, if it were me, I would bring everybody to the party. A lot of special guests, a lot of surprises. If I got asked, certainly Jason Aldean would be my first call.”

  • Keith Urban

    This journalist has loved Keith Urban for his music and the generally lovely and considerate guy he is since the day I met him at an interview before he became a superstar in the early 2000s. So, yes, I am biased when it comes to Urban. That being said, his shows are legendary, and with his guitar skills, Keith would make country music proud at the Super Bowl halftime show. His Las Vegas residency sells out every year, and imagine, with an Oscar-winning wife (Nicole Kidman) to cheer him on, how Hollywood would come out to support a Keith Urban halftime show.

  • Blake Shelton

    One of country music’s biggest stars and personalities, Blake would be great at the Super Bowl halftime show, especially if his wife, Gwen Stefani, took the stage with her man. Shelton is one of country music’s biggest NFL fans; specifically, he is a die-hard Arizona Cardinals fan.

  • Morgan Wallen

    Morgan’s star is getting so big in country music, and this guy keeps fans screaming for more in multiple nights of stadium shows in big cities all over the country. If Wallen played the Super Bowl halftime show, you can bet he would more than likely have his buddies HARDY, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman also on the show.

  • Luke Combs

    Luke knows how to keep a stadium of fans hanging on his every word at his double night booked stadium shows all over the country, so he is a natural to play the Super Bowl halftime show. Just a handful of years into his massive career and three CMA Entertainer of the Year awards already under his belt, he is a no-brainer for the halftime show. Can you imagine the excitement of the Super Bowl crowd when he plays his wild “Beer Never Broke My Heart” encore?

  • Carrie Underwood -

    With her ties to Sunday Night Football and her love of the game and the players, Carrie would be great at the Super Bowl Halftime show. Her energetic performance would undoubtedly include some of her big rocker friends like Axl Rose and Joan Jett. Underwood would more than likely also have some serious aerial moves like she did when she performed on her Denim & Rhinestone tour.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
