Green acknowledges that young Hadley “stole the show.”
Riley Green gave a little girl named Hadley an unforgettable experience on Saturday, April 12, before his performance at The American Rodeo at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
During a meet and greet, Green shared a touching moment with Hadley, a 2-year-old with Down syndrome. Her mom captured the sweet interaction on video, which has since gone viral and captured hearts everywhere.
The video, which has nearly 900,000 views, shows Hadley approaching Green, who bends down to greet her. With a huge smile on her face, she walks right up to the country star, and they share a few precious photos together.
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.”
Autumn frequently shares sweet moments from life with Hadley on TikTok, where their adorable at-home adventures continue to bring joy to many.
This particular video has sparked an overwhelming amount of love and support for Hadley, making the experience even more special.
“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.”
