Hadley’s mom, Autumn, recalled the adorable moment when she told her they’d be meeting Riley Green. “When I asked her if she wanted to go meet Riley Green, she laughed, smiled, and put her hand over her mouth acting bashful,” Autumn shared.
The moment was truly unforgettable for them. “When we met him, she started waving to him and smiling real big. It brought joy to me seeing how happy she was. Everyone loved her. This sweet gentleman even gave Hadley a Riley Green guitar pick,” Autumn added. “It was such a really special and neat experience.”
Meanwhile, Hadley loves Riley Green’s latest single, “Worst Way.” Her mom explains, “She clearly doesn’t understand the lyrics, but every time she hears the song, she gets shy, smiles, and starts dancing to it.”

“Since sharing the video on TikTok, everyone has been so supportive and excited for Hadley,” Autumn shares. “Of course, one of the moments that stood out to us was Riley posting the picture of him and Hadley on his Instagram. We feel very blessed to have been able to experience all of this.”
