Now he knows how we feel.<\/p>\n

Throughout the entire three days and nights of Dierks Bentley<\/a>\u2019s Seven Peaks festival in Colorado, he was posting non-stop about how blown away he was with all of the artists there. Which is exactly what the rest of us superfans do: we watch a show, fall madly in love with an artist, and start to spread the good word.<\/p>\n

So instead of just thanking the fans for coming out \u2014 which is kind of the standard-issue tweet most artists post after a show \u2014 Bentley turned into a downright hardcore country superfan, and was very loquacious about the artists who played at his second annual Labor Day weekend music festival in the moutains.<\/p>\n

1. First, Bentley was in awe of fans\/friends showing up as The Judds to watch Deana Carter<\/a>\u2019s show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. And after night No. 1 \u2014 the 90s country night \u2014 wrapped, he was quick to thank everyone (and their alter egos) on stage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Big night for the @countryknights<\/a>. They wanted me to thank @Travistritt<\/a> for hanging out to sing Honky Tonkin\u2019s What I Do Best. They said to thank @Cayleehammack<\/a> (Reba) @tenilletownes<\/a> (Shania) @boccountry<\/a> (Marty) Justin (Kix) Jay Williams (Ronnie) Lil Doug and @JonPardi<\/a>(Jon Pardi) pic.twitter.com\/RPWmmoHEq9<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Then he sat in awe of Ryan Hurd<\/a>\u2019s performance, while Hurd\u2019s wife Maren Morris<\/a> sat next to him doing the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

4. After Luke Bryan<\/a> played, Bentley had some pretty serious words for his friend, calling him entertainer of the year, every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

.@LukeBryanOnline<\/a>. I need to talk about @MarenMorris<\/a> And @HardyMusic<\/a> and so many others from last night. But Luke\u2026he and I talk a lot about fishing, family, airplanes\u2026not much about shows. Performance he put on tonight\u2026 entertainer of the year every year.

5. Then it was Hardy<\/a>\u2019s turn to blow Bentley\u2019s mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

.@HardyMusic<\/a> seriously blew my mind. I am a FAN dude. Love that this video shakes and goes in and out of focus. That\u2019s the way his whole set made me feel. Badass. @SevenPeaksFest<\/a> whiskey row stage pic.twitter.com\/ICAKMgXhSZ<\/a><\/p>\n

6. The only unkind thing that Bentley had to say about Bryan? He wasn\u2019t catching enough fish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Day 3 off to a good start @SevenPeaksFest<\/a>! (btw\u2026 @LukeBryanOnline<\/a> only caught one and this is my third in 30 mins\u2026not that it\u2019s a competition\u2026fishing and Seven Peaks is all about community and good vibes\u2026but if it was a competition\u2026I would be crushing him. Just saying) pic.twitter.com\/ce3uKyokD0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) September 1, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

7. It wasn\u2019t just the A-listers winning Bentley over. He tweeted out some heartfelt praise for The War and Treaty, Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Tanya Trotter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

.@thewarandtreaty<\/a>
To quote @EddieStubbsWSM<\/a> @WSMradio<\/a>, \u201care there any questions.\u201d @SevenPeaksFest<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6sXOSRM6AI<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) September 2, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

8. His last tweet from the fest went to Rita Wilson, for bringing her music and her joy to Seven Peaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

.@RitaWilson<\/a>! Loved the hang and loved your show. Thank you for bringing your music and joy to @SevenPeaksFest<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/7iFHbyJLXW<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) September 2, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

9. Over on Instagram, he was very impressed with the wooden floor that fans were using to dance to Garth Brook\u2019s \u201cCallin\u2019 Baton Rouge.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

10. And to spread the gospel according to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band<\/a>, Bentley shared this \u201cFishin\u2019 in the Dark\u201d crown singalong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

11. Bentley also named his new fave in a new sub-genre he called Heavy & Western: Larkin Poe<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

12. He also opined that Colorado\u2019s Rapid Grass bluegrass show was what Seven Peaks is all about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

13. The best of all Bentley\u2019s posts was what he had to say about Diamond Rio<\/a>: \u201cTotal Studs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
