Their new working relationship has brought fresh attention to her earlier Kellyoke performance\u2014and prompted questions about whether the two might one day perform together.<\/p>\n<p>Clarkson sang the romantic country track on The Kelly Clarkson Show\u2019s Kellyoke segment, which features her interpretations of songs by artists across genres. Rather than copy Green\u2019s recording, she brought her own vocal style to the song while retaining its romantic feel. Afterward, she praised Green\u2019s music and encouraged viewers to check him out, saying, \u201cI love him. I dig him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A welcome with a competitive edge<\/h2>\n<p>Green\u2019s appointment to the coaching panel for Season 30 gave the pair a chance to work together. Clarkson, returning for her 11th stint as a coach, has won the competition four times. Green was preparing for his first season in the chair.<\/p>\n<p>When Green shared news of the role on Instagram, Clarkson welcomed him in a voicemail, telling him she was excited to coach alongside him. Her message soon turned teasing: she warned that Team Kelly would be tough competition. The friendly challenge echoed their different levels of experience on the show, while keeping the exchange lighthearted.<\/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>Clarkson also sent Green a customized Voice chair, giving him a chance to try out the show\u2019s signature swiveling seat. In a video shared with the announcement, Green tested it and joked that he could get used to it. The gift offered a playful introduction to the format\u2014and another glimpse of the rapport between the new colleagues.<\/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<h2>A possible musical pairing?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kelly Clarkson Covers&#039; Worst Way By Riley Green l Kellyoke\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EHUuJuZ2VfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Kellyoke cover now sits alongside their coaching partnership as a reminder that Clarkson was already familiar with Green\u2019s work.
