Riley Green<\/a>\u00a0just wrapped up the summer leg of his Damn Country Music\u00a0Tour.\u00a0Drake White<\/a>, who opened the shows, had a lot to say to\u00a0Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0about the experience \u2014 especially Green’s fans.<\/p>\n We asked White what\u00a0it was like in the pit and at the merch stand at Green’s shows. He lit up with a huge smile, admitting, “it’s pretty unbelievable.”<\/p>\n White says Green’s fans tend to be younger women who are very devoted to their favorite artist \u2014 a loyalty he likens to\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s fans, who are collectively known as Swifties.<\/p>\n “The\u00a015-year-old to 20-year-old girl in the pit, is \u2014 man, as far as monetarily, that is the fanbase, ’cause the dad’s gotta buy all the merch. It’s like the Taylor Swift thing,” he explains.<\/p>\n Swifties are known for buying up Swift’s merch and selling out items at her merch stand, and they’re dialed into every aspect of her music. Green’s fans are similar, he says.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n White couldn’t stop gushing over his buddy Riley Green in general \u2014 he admires how hard the singer-songwriter works, and\u00a0stresses that he’s not just a pretty face, even if that’s part of Green’s appeal, too. He writes his songs and puts his heart and soul into his craft, and it shows onstage and by the company he keeps (his fans).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Riley Green is no slouch when it comes to climbing up the charts: He has five No. 1 songs under his belt, with his latest being “Worst Way.”<\/p>\n Drake White had a stroke onstage in the middle of\u00a0a performance in August of 2019.\u00a0He has since recovered and is thankful that he still can do what he loves to do, which is play country music. He’s currently promoting his new single “Nuthin’ But a Smile.”<\/p>\n Riley Green is selling his stunningly well-appointed home in Nashville, and pictures show a luxurious property chock-full of the highest-end amenities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Sterling Whitaker<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The country music family is expanding in 2025.
