Riley Green is heading to The Voice.
The 37-year-old country star announced on social media Saturday (May 9) that he will join as a coach for season 30 of the NBC music competition series.
Green shared the news ahead of his concert at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Georgia, on Saturday. He is currently on his Cowboy As It Gets arena tour across North America.
“I guess y’all can start calling me coach… see ya this fall. @nbcthevoice #thevoice,” Green captioned the announcement on his Instagram account.
The “Worst Way” singer joins previously announced coaches Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine for the upcoming season of The Voice, which airs this fall on NBC and streams on Peacock. Levine’s contestant, singer Alexia Jayy, was crowned the winner of Season 29 in April 2025.
Green’s announcement post features a clip of him listening to voicemail on his phone left by Clarkson, who politely greets him using her full name and addresses him by his.
“That is officially the last time we’re gonna use each other’s full name ’cause we’re not tools,” she says in the message, which has her welcoming him to The Voice. “But we’ve never officially met. I’m super stoked to coach alongside you.”
Clarkson also kindly tells him she’s a “superfan” in the message — a “big fan, but needless to say, fan and all it’s a competition.” So she’s sent him a special gift: his personalized The Voice coach chair, adorned with duck calls. “I think you’re gonna need the practice because Kelly’s gonna whoop that ass,” she quips.
Comments on Green’s post include a friendly congrats from host Carson Daly, who wrote, “Welcome to the fam!! Can’t wait to hang! You drink right? Pls God say yes.”
Green has been on a winning streak of his own. The singer-songwriter has scored four No. 1 hits on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, including “Worst Way” and the Ella Langley collaboration “You Look Like You Love Me,” and has earned multiple CMA and ACM Awards to date.
He is also set to perform at the upcoming ACM Awards on May 17, where he is nominated for male artist of the year, album of the year [for Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe)], artist-songwriter of the year, and music event of the year for “Don’t Mind If I Do,” featuring Langley.
In April, Green made his acting debut on the CBS series Marshals, in which he plays Garrett, a former Navy SEAL who arrives in Montana while carrying personal demons he needs to put to rest.
