Although Dierks Bentley is going up against Miranda Lambert at the Grammys for Best Country Album, he's showing his support for Lambert. Bentley is nominated for his album Riser and Lambert for Platinum.

After performing at the official Super Bowl Tailgate, Bentley was asked how he would feel if Lambert won the award on Sunday's Grammys. He explained, "I'm usually the first one standing up and applauding. A win for her is a win for everyone."

Bentley went on to explain that he feels even with an incredible amount of success, Lambert is still the same as she was when she started out in the country music industry. "I just feel that she's the same Texas girl that she's always been," he said.

Seattle Pi reported that this would be the first win Bentley at the Grammys, Lambert has won previously. The duo has been nominated together back in 2011 for their single "Bad Angel."
