Introduction
The dynamic duo of Ella Langley and Riley Green has been celebrating a remarkable run of accolades, all stemming from their hit collaboration, “You Look Like You Love Me.” Their journey began in November with a win for Musical Event of the Year at the CMA Awards, a sign of the immense success to come.
More recently, the pair added another prestigious honor to their collection, taking home the ACM trophy for Visual Media of the Year for their chart-topping duet. This recognition highlights not only the song’s musical appeal but also its captivating visual storytelling. Adding to the excitement, Ella Langley herself was crowned the ACM’s New Female Artist of the Year, a testament to her rising star power.
As the country music world gears up for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, with Ella being the most-nominated artist, Riley Green is quick to express his admiration for her talent, something he’s recognized for quite some time. “I’ve been a big fan of Ella Langley for a long time,” Riley shared. “We met through a mutual friend, and I was pretty much hooked as soon as I heard her voice and her authentic country sound, plus her love for traditional country music.”
Riley also jokingly admits to a bit of a bias, given their shared roots. “And she’s from Alabama, so I was definitely rooting for her regardless,” he added. “I was incredibly lucky to have her join me on tour, and that’s where ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ came to be, a song none of us could have predicted would take off like it did.”
The tour mates remain strong contenders at Thursday’s 60th ACM Awards, with “You Look Like You Love Me” nominated for Single, Song, and Music Event of the Year. Their continued success is a clear indicator of the profound connection their music has made with fans and the industry alike.
