Dierks Bentley is kicking off 2024 with a bang! His latest single, “She Hates Me,” has stormed onto the country music scene, racking up the biggest first-week radio impact of his career. With over 111 stations already on board, this playful, heartbreak-infused track is proving to be a major fan favorite.

Released on Valentine’s Day, the song is classic Bentley—witty, heartfelt, and packed with an energy that blends influences from both Keith Whitley and Weezer. Critics are calling it “spirited” and “tongue-in-cheek,” while Holler Magazine has already crowned Bentley as the “titan of country breakup songs.”

And if you haven’t seen the wildly entertaining music video yet, expect some serious laughs. According to American Songwriter, Bentley finds himself in a “lusty, side-splitting mini flick” where he gets caught in a hilarious loop of romantic disaster.

When Does the Broken Branches Tour Start?

Dierks isn’t just breaking records—he’s hitting the road! His newly announced Broken Branches Tour will kick off on May 29th in Austin, TX, featuring special guests Zach Top and The Band Loula. Spanning over 30 cities across the U.S., this tour is shaping up to be “one of the most fun lineups you’ll see this summer” (Whiskey Riff).

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 AM local time, so fans better mark their calendars!

What’s Next for Bentley?

Beyond his music, Bentley is a multi-faceted entertainer and entrepreneur. With eight No. 1 albums, 22 No. 1 songs, nine billion global streams, and 15 GRAMMY® nominations, his impact on country music is undeniable. But he’s also been making waves in other areas:

• He’s set to headline the C2C: Country to Country Festival in the U.K. (March 14-16), playing in Glasgow, London, and Belfast.
• His gastropub and live music venue, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, continues to grow with four locations and counting.
• He recently launched ROW 94, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted in collaboration with Green River Distilling Co.

With so much going on, 2024 is already shaping up to be one of Bentley’s biggest years yet!
