Country Music’s Biggest Party was also country music’s biggest date night and Riley Green took full advantage of the opportunity, making his red carpet debut with his girlfriend, music industry exec Sophia Sansone.
The couple looked absolutely stunning as they walked the carpet hand-in-hand while posing for photos along the way. As the flashes of the cameras lit up the red carpet, Riley and Sophia flashed their best smiles for photographers.
Riley sported a classic black suit with his hair slicked back, while Sophia opted for an ocean blue mini dress.
This marks the couple’s first public appearance together. See more photos of the couples on the CMT Music Awards red carpet HERE.
The country hitmaker was on hand to perform “Half Of Me” alongside fellow country star Thomas Rhett. The song appears on Rhett’s just-released album, Where We Started.
Riley Green is in the midst of his headlining We Out Here Tour and is preparing to hit the road with Luke Bryan on the Raised Up Right Tour. Kicking off on June 9, the much-anticipated tour also features Mitchell Tenpenny and DJ Rock.
Green recently offered up a taste of his live show with the release of We Out Here: Live. The album features 11 tracks, including a cover of Alabama’s “Dixieland Delight.”
On July on 3rd, the Alabama native will kick off Music City’s Independence Day festivities with a show at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee.
