She’s two years old. She has Down syndrome.
Riley Green Shares Heartwarming Moment with Young Fan
Before performing at The American Rodeo in Arlington, Texas, country singer Riley Green had a touching encounter with 2-year-old Hadley, a fan with Down syndrome.
At a pre-show meet and greet, Hadley confidently walked up to Green, who knelt to greet her warmly. They shared smiles, took photos, and Green gave her a guitar pick — a gesture her family deeply appreciated. Her mom, Autumn, said Hadley was thrilled to meet him, and the sweet moment was captured on video. Green later posted it, writing Hadley “stole the show.”
A Personal Connection to Green’s Music
Hadley’s family holds a special place in their hearts for Green’s songs. His track “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” resonated with them after a personal loss. Hadley especially enjoys his song “Worst Way,” often dancing to it with joy.
Spreading Joy Online
Autumn regularly shares Hadley’s journey on TikTok, where the young girl’s strength and happiness inspire thousands. Despite the challenges that come with Down syndrome, Hadley continues to shine.
A Moment That Stood Out
While the night was filled with music and rodeo excitement, it was the quiet exchange between Green and Hadley that truly touched people. As her mom shared, it was a memory “we’ll never forget.”
