Riley Green has taken fan participation at his shows to a whole new level, often giving concertgoers the chance to step into the spotlight for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That trend continued overseas during his Damn Country Music Tour stop at the O2 Academy Glasgow on Tuesday, September 16, where one lucky fan’s dream came true.

The fan named Jordan Petrie, hailing from Dundee in the UK, had been sharing TikTok videos ahead of the concert, documenting her search for the perfect outfit for the concert. In the process, she revealed her bold plan to ask Green during a meet-and-greet if she could sing Ella Langley’s part in their hit duet, “You Look Like You Love Me” on stage that night.

While she works as beautician in her daily life and does not pursue music professionally, she explained to Country Now that singing is her passion. In another TikTok video she revealed that in addition to singing she is also learning to play guitar. Determined to make her on-stage dream happen with Riley Green, Jordan began manifesting the opportunity, which led her to the moment she finally got to speak with him in the meet & greet.

“I’d seen him pull up fans to sing at his concerts in the US so I thought, how can I do this?! I got M&G tickets and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to ask.”

“I went to the M&G and he was very polite- shakes your hand, says hi then poses for a picture. I then said to him, ‘can I sing with you tonight?’ And he said, ‘you like to sing?’ And I said, ‘I love to sing!’ He said ‘ok what do you want to sing?’ And I asked to sing a different song called ‘Don’t Mind If I Do,’ but he said he had Hannah [McFarland] for that his support act,” she recalled.

Her perseverance ended up paying off in a big way. In a slew of videos that have since surfaced online, Green is seen calling Jordan to join him on stage, where she confidently delivered the tune alongside the country star. Before their performance the Alabama native asked her name and jokingly suggested she might have to translate for the crowd with her Glasgow accent. However, Jordan revealed she’d be singing in her best American accent instead.

@jordanpetriebeauty Last night a dream came true for me. Thank you Mr @Riley Green 💚 🤠 🇺🇸 My friend is screaming in this video so I do apologise 😂 and I couldn’t hear a thing so hopefully I wasn’t too off key!! Haha @Big Machine #rileygreen #o2academyglasgow #excusemeyouloveme ♬ original sound – Jordan Petrie -The Singing MUA

While she appeared confident on stage, Jordan admitted she was very nervous about forgetting the words, despite the fact that she claims to frequently belt out the lyrics in the car. Still, she gave it her all and delivered a performance that left fans in awe.

“I just thought to myself you’ve just got to go up there and have fun! When are you ever going to do this again?!”

Making her way off stage after that unforgettable moment in front of the biggest crowd she’s ever sang to, Jordan was reunited with her cousin, Shawni McLeod, who was crying tears of joy in the crowd.

“My cousin Shawni McLeod came with me and it was amazing to have her there. When I came off stage she was sobbing.”

This epic moment took place during Riley Green’s Damn Country Music Tour. This isn’t the first time that the Alabama native has been inspired to bring a fan on stage for an impromptu performance. Jordan recommends that anyone hoping to live out their dreams in the way she did should do their best to get in line early in order to make it close to the stage in an effort to get Green’s attention or even better, score a meet and greet for the chance to ask him face to face.

“I had the best time, it was amazing,” she added in a new video explaining the entire night in detail.

A full list of his remaining tour dates can be found on his official website.
