Riley Green Is Looking For Love In The ‘Worst Way’ With Red-Hot Performance

Riley Green turned up the heat at the 2025 CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday (November 19).

Green commanded the stage at Bridgestone Arena for a red-hot performance of "Worst Way," from his 2024 album Don't Mind If I Do. Opening with a brief guitar solo and lit by a fiery red light, he sang the sultry track about wanting to skip the wining and dining and getting "right down to it" to "see how much love we can make."

The singer-songwriter was up for several awards throughout the night, including Single of the Year and Song of the Year for his duet with Ella Langlely "you look like you love me," both of which they won.

Green, who dropped his expanded deluxe Don't Mind If I Do album in August, is preparing to hit the road next year for his Cowboy As It Gets headlining tour. Kicking off in Mississippi on April 16, he will travel around the U.S. visiting different arenas through August 22 joined by special guests Justin Moore, Drake White, Mackenzie Carpenter, Hannah McFarland, Adam Hood and Zach John King.

Led by return host Lainey Wilson, the 2025 CMA Awards featured a host of incredible performances, including Green, Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Old Dominion, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Keith Urban, The Red Clay Strays, Chris Stapleton, BigXthaPlug, Tucker Wetmore and Stephen Wilson Jr.
