Riley Green Is Trading The Stage For A Big Red Chair On “The Voice” 

Country star Riley Green is heading to prime time this fall. Riley just announced he’ll be joining the coaching panel on The Voice for the show’s 30th season.

He’ll be sitting alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine. The show usually features four coaches, so fans are still waiting to see who grabs that final chair.

Riley shared the news online with a simple message that sounded pretty on-brand for him:

“I guess y’all can start calling me coach. See ya this fall.”

And apparently Kelly Clarkson wasted no time welcoming him to the team. Riley also posted a voicemail Kelly left him, along with a surprise delivery . . . his very own custom coaching chair. Not bad for a guy who usually looks more comfortable in cowboy boots than spinning around in a TV studio chair.

Fans are already wondering what kind of coach Riley will be. Considering his laid-back style, Southern charm, and hit songs like “There Was This Girl” and “Worst Way,” there’s a good chance Team Riley becomes the place for country singers to land this season.

“The Voice” returns this fall on NBC.
