The Official Music Video For Dierks Bentley’s Latest Single, 5-1-5-0. Here is the official music video for Dierks Bentley’s latest single, “5-1-5-0!” The track is the 3rd to be released from his album Home. It is a fun song that has got fans going crazy with excitement! The meaning comes from, of all places, a police code. Bentley has said many times the code was used by officers in some areas as the code for a person who is “out of control.” No matter the meaning of the title, the video looks like one big party! A day of mudding, that even Bentley joined in on…yes please! Enjoy the video now! Get More: 5-1-5-0, Dierks Bentley, Dierks Bentley Videos Current Dierks Bentley Tour Dates and Tickets

Taylor Swift’s Latest Collaboration

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Joining Ed Sheeran For A Collaboration? Taylor Swift was seen at a Santa Monica recording studio over the weekend with British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. It has not been confirmed but perhaps they were working on a new song together? With Sheeran’s style and background we can’t help but think this “possible” new tune will not be country. Below is the official lyric video for her single “Eye Open,” which is on the soundtrack of the Hunger Games. Although I do find the song to be enjoyable, it is far from her earlier hits that had a more country sound (Our Song, Tim McGraw, Picture To Burn, Teardrops On My Guitar). So what do you think? Is Taylor trying to turn her career into a more pop one? Is she just writing what she feels? Does it even matter? Comment and let us know! Below “Eyes Open” is her very first single “Tim McGraw.” Watch and compare the differences.
