Young Riley Green Fan Meets Him in Person After Viral “Worst Way” Reaction—and It’s Precious

These days, everyone is looking like they love Riley Green—especially the ladies. The former Division 1 FCS quarterback went viral last year with “You Look Like You Love Me,” a playfully flirty duet with eight-time ACM nominee Ella Langley. That success continued with “Worst Way,” the red-hot lead single from his third studio album Don’t Mind If I Do. Green’s music appeals to fans of all ages, as a little girl named Hadley proved in this viral video. Recently, Hadley melted hearts yet again when she got to meet “the cute cowboy” in person.

“She’s Just Like Us FR:” Watch This Little Girl’s Precious Reaction to Riley Green Video

Last month, Oklahoma mom Autumn Jett posted a so-adorable-it-should-be-illegal video of her 2-year-old daughter watching Riley Green’s “Worst Way” video. A giggly, grinning Hadley occasionally covers her mouth as she watches the country star and his “lover” onscreen.

“when mama plays the song with the cute cowboy,” Jett wrote in the video’s text overlay.

If I’ve ever seen anything cuter than that smile, I don’t recall it. Thousands of fans felt that way too, catapulting Hadley to viral fame. “Covering her mouth while giggling….. SAME GIRL SAME,” one TikTok user commented.

Another added, “she’s just like us fr.”

Many social media users wanted to see Green invite his tiniest fan to giggle over him in person. “If he doesn’t send her front row concert tickets, I’m canceling him,” one fan joked.

Hadley Meets Her Hero

Fortunately, no need to cancel Riley Green. The “Jesus Saves” crooner, 36, took some time for a special meet-and-greet with Hadley ahead of his April 12 performance at The American Rodeo at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

 “My girl living her best life getting to meet Riley Green and watch him perform,” Jett captioned a TikTok video showing footage of the interaction.

Sporting a blue dress and red bow, Hadley exchanged waves with the “Different ‘Round Here” singer before posing for photos. Green’s dad even gifted the little girl his guitar pick.

 “It brought joy to me seeing how happy she was,” Jett said. “Everyone loved her.”
