Their new connection has renewed interest in her Kellyoke performance\u2014and in the possibility of the pair singing together\u2014though no duet has been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Clarkson performed Green\u2019s romantic country hit on The Kelly Clarkson Show in February of the previous year. The Kellyoke segment gives her a chance to reinterpret songs from artists across genres, and she brought her own phrasing and powerful vocal style to Green\u2019s track while keeping its romantic tone.<\/p>\n<p>After the performance, Clarkson noted that Green had described \u201cWorst Way\u201d as one of the biggest moments in his live shows. She also made her admiration plain, telling viewers, \u201cI love him. I dig him.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/riley-kelly-voice-message.png\" alt=\"New &quot;Voice&quot; Coach Riley Green Receives Surprise Message From Kelly Clarkson\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>New &quot;Voice&quot; Coach Riley Green Receives Surprise Message From Kelly Clarkson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the time, the two had not been announced as colleagues on the singing competition. That changed when Green was named a coach for Season 30, joining Clarkson, Adam Levine and Queen Latifah on the panel. For Clarkson, it marked her 11th stint in the red chair; she had previously coached for 10 seasons and won four times.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/afaa2331088ef6426ca383b38772d955592242bfef99679a2a60a793fd27a987\/lightyear_networkapi\/resizefill_w976%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Ftv_insider_639%2F068c23ecb39b28f9f1c04ec6b9372d3f.jpg\" alt=\"The Voice&#39;: Riley Green Loses a Country Singer to Queen Latifah\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>The Voice&#39;: Riley Green Loses a Country Singer to Queen Latifah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Green shared the news on Instagram, where a video included a voicemail from Clarkson welcoming him to the show.

The exchange offered a playful first glimpse of their dynamic as colleagues\u2014and rivals.<\/p>\n<p>The pairing gives Clarkson and Green a shared stage after her earlier performance of his song. That history makes a collaboration an appealing possibility for anyone curious about how their voices might sound together, but the available details point to a coaching partnership, not a confirmed performance.
