You can’t open the internet in 2026 without another big Riley Green announcement. In a few short months since his last visit with Katie Neal, the Country star has started an acting career, received an honorary doctorate from Jacksonville State University, and announced that he’s a coach on the upcoming 30th season of 'The Voice.'
The “Change My Mind” singer joined us earlier this month at the ACM Awards, detailing his latest string of success, and offering some insight into his strategy for 'The Voice.'
“I bet I'll enjoy working with the artists a lot,” Riley reveals. “I've never done anything like that and I don't feel like I'm overly musically talented, like I feel like these people are a lot better players and singers and know more about music than me, so my advice will probably be more in the, ‘here's some things that I did… don't do this.’”
“You gotta try to win. I mean, I'm very competitive,” he adds. “I think it'd be fun to see what I'm drawn to musically because I grew up in the burnt CD era when it was like a Tim McGraw song and Tupac was the next one on there, we listened to everything growing up.”
Green with join Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, and Queen Latifah on The Voice when it premieres on NBC in September.
