Riley Green is a huge presence in country music. In a relatively short time, he has established himself as a major star in the genre. One performance that helped to catapult him to the top was his exceptional duet with Ella Langley, "You Look Like You Love Me." The video, with a neat cameo from Jamey Johnson, is also terrific. Green is poised to add to his collection of accolades tonight at the CMA Awards. The glitzy occasion is fittingly dubbed "Country Music's Biggest Night."

Green is scheduled to sing his self-write, "Worst Way." He is also up for several awards. Among them, per Country Now, are those he is in the running for with Langley. They're Song, Music Video, and Single of the Year. Plus the track "Don't Mind If I Do" snagged the pair a nom for Musical Event of the Year. Not bad!
Green Can Barely Grasp His Good Fortune
The singer, 37, a native of Jacksonville, Alabama, is pretty bowled over by his success. Per the outlet, he talked about what it means to him to be involved with the CMA Awards. "I mean it's something that you grew up watching and still being just a big fan of country music, it's such a cool thing to be able to go to these award shows to be nominated and getting to perform, it's going to be great."
He Looks Forward To Doing "Worst Way"
Green will be singing his hit for the audience at Bridgestone Arena as wll as the millions watching at home. And no, he does not intend to do anything to replicate the sensuous video when he is on stage. IN fact, Green has to keep it clean 'cause his mother will be looking on. "I mean it would be hard to top that one [he said of the video]...my mom's gonna watch."
He added, "My mom was in my house this weekend in Nashville with her sister and my uncle and they're all hanging out. I never know what they're doing. They might have a better seat than me."
Green's Outfit for Tonight's Ceremony
He isn't giving away any details, but the outlet hints that the singer may sport suspenders. No matter what he wears, Riley Green will not disappoint!
