Probably one of the best days of her very young life so far…
A couple months ago, Riley Green released a super steamy, very much not safe for work new music video for his song “Worst Way,” which finds him fully leaning into the sexy country heartthrob image that the ladies are absolutely in love with… as he should, honestly.
“Worst Way” was first part of his Way Out Here EP, then on his third studio album Don’t Mind If I Do last year. It was a solo write by Riley, and quickly became a fan-favorite for its sensual, seductive lyrics and departure from what Riley normally writes about, which is heartbreak and losing a girl… the complete opposite of this song.
The video has over six million views now, and obviously, a lot of the ladies haven’t been able to stop watching it…
But one very young Riley Green fan in particular found it quite cheeky, and Autumn Jett, mom of sweet little Hadley, shared a hilarious TikTok video of Hadley reacting to her mom “playing the song with the cute cowboy,” as she put it on the now super viral video. Hadley turns her head and laughs when it starts, and even covers her mouth smiling looking like pretty much all of us the first time we watched it.
Seriously, it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time, and the video has almost 4.5 million views on TikTok now:

Of course, all the girls in the comments completely understood it, and I’m sure dad wasn’t home when mom let her watch this… but we all get it. She’s so valid, and the comments section is full of more like this:
“Omg stop it! Her little giggle! The hand covering her mouth! Soooo stinking cute!”
“She’s just a girl. Too precious.”
“That’s how we all feel my girlie.”
“Covering her mouth while giggling…. SAME GIRL SAME.”
“If he doesn’t send her front row concert tickets, I’m canceling him.”
“This is how every girl feels about Riley Green!!!”
“She’s one of the girls for sure, she gets it.”
Being a girl is a universal experience, no matter what age you are… and Hadley finally got to meet that “cute cowboy,” as her mom refers to Riley, at a show this past weekend in Texas, and her reaction is priceless.
She walks into the meet and greet, waves to Riley and has a big smile on her face, but she doesn’t ever stop to hang out… she just keeps walking as if they’re passing in the street.
It’s so cute, and there are also some photos of them together so she eventually did come back around:

Her mom shared a video on TikTok Hadley watching Riley play, and she had a similar reaction to the original viral video and it’s just precious:

This is the kind of thing that makes country music special, and it’s so great to see that Riley’s team worked it out for Hadley and her family to be able to meet in person.
I’m not sure if she fully understood that he was the same guy from the video, but it will be a great story to tell when she’s older and something her parents will surely remember forever.
