His fame had simply reached the level that necessitated it \u2014 but the move hasn\u2019t come without some hiccups. Take this past March, when he was on tour in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI locked my key in my room. Luckily, I had clothes on,\u201d he recounts. \u201cI went downstairs and [the front desk clerk] said, \u2018We need to see your ID.\u2019 I said, \u2018I don\u2019t have it. It\u2019s in my room and it\u2019s not going to [match] what\u2019s on the room.\u2019 \u201d Green takes a beat before deadpanning: \u201cSo I sleep outside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s clearly kidding about the last part. But the story illustrates just how crazy Green\u2019s life has become since his flirty duet with Ella Langley, \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me,\u201d came out in June 2024, followed by his smoldering \u201cWorst Way\u201d (with a correspondingly steamy video) and then another Langley duet, \u201cDon\u2019t Mind If I Do.\u201d All three reached No. 1 on <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Country Airplay chart, and they transformed Green, voted <em>People<\/em>\u2019s Sexiest Country Star Alive in November 2025, from a highly successful artist best known for plain-spoken songs celebrating traditional values into a shooting star \u2014 now with a catalog that has earned 5.9 billion on-demand official streams in the United States, according to Luminate \u2014 and the internet\u2019s country boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a perfect storm of him being completely on his A game with his writing, his artistry and his looks, and having this pop culture moment with Ella,\u201d says his longtime friend Carly Pearce, whose own alluring duet with Green, \u201cIf I Don\u2019t Leave, I\u2019m Gonna Stay,\u201d is out now. \u201cPeople were wrapped up in \u2018Are they together? Are they not?\u2019 He was just ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Read the full Riley Green cover story here.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-loader
