Ella Langley & Riley Green Shine on The Tonight Show with “You Look Like You Love Me”
Country music’s favorite duet partners, Ella Langley and Riley Green, turned up the heat Monday night with a rousing performance of their platinum hit “You Look Like You Love Me” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Fallon set the tone, calling the track “my jam right now,” before welcoming the Alabama natives to the stage.
A Heartfelt Dedication
Before the first strum of Green’s guitar, Langley paused to dedicate the performance to “all the men and women who are currently and who have served this country,” honoring Veterans Day with grace and gratitude.
Style and Stage Presence
Langley commanded the spotlight in a black mini dress accented with a bold gold stripe and matching stiletto boots. Green kept it classic with a cowboy hat, pearl-snap shirt, and jeans. As the lights dimmed, Langley delivered the song’s spoken-word opening verse with smoky confidence, while Green provided the steady guitar rhythm and soon took his turn on lead vocals.
When the chorus hit—“Excuse me / You look like you love me…”—the duo’s chemistry was undeniable. Their harmonies filled the studio with an effortless blend of flirtation and warmth, drawing cheers from the live audience.
Milestones and Momentum
Adding to the night’s excitement, Fallon surprised Langley and Green on set with platinum plaques commemorating the single’s impressive sales. “You Look Like You Love Me” is already a fixture in the Top 10 at country radio and continues to climb.
The duet is also nominated for Musical Event of the Year at the upcoming 58th Annual CMA Awards, where it will compete with hits from Kelsea Ballerini, Post Malone with Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan with Kacey Musgraves, and Morgan Wallen with Eric Church. Country music’s biggest night airs November 20 live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
What’s Next
The song appears on the deluxe edition of Langley’s debut album Still Hungover, which also features new tracks like “Girl You’re Taking Home” and “20-20.”
Fans can catch the pair back on the road in 2025 when Langley joins Green for his Damn Country Music Tour, a trek that sold over 100,000 tickets in just eight hours and runs from March 27 through August 23.
