Country music star Riley Green now unrecognizable after shaving off his mustache... and fans are stunned
Country music superstar Riley Green has shocked fans after changing one of his signature physical features.
The Different 'Round Here hitmaker, 36, took to Instagram this week to post a selfie without his trademark mustache.
Posing with his clean-shaven mug on full display, Green captured the photo, 'Never let em know your next move. #Shegone.'
His new look received a strong reaction online and from the country community, with one leading country music radio station taking 'a moment of silence' to 'honor' Green's 'facial glory.'
Fans online were mixed over Green's fresh-faced look, but the general reception was supportive.
'I like him without the mustache, it looks more handsome and younger!!!' gushed one.
'Too many guys with the mustache now days we need a few without it,' added another.
'He went from Tombstone to Dawson's Creek,' joked a third, while a fourth commented, 'Wow Looks so much younger! Handsome as heck.'
Born in Jacksonville, Alabama, Green started out as a football quarterback before swapping the field for the stage.
Before his music career took off, he appeared on the now defunct CMT reality series Redneck Island.
Green won season four of the competition series, which was hosted by former WWE superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.
His big break in country music came in 2018 with his hit song There Was This Girl.
The catchy track became a favorite at country radio and helped launch his first album, Different 'Round Here.
Despite only reaching No. 95 on the Billboard 200, the album was a sleeper hit and was eventually certified gold for sales of more than 500,000 copies.
His biggest hit came with 2019's I Wish Grandpas Never Died, which went triple platinum.
In recent years, Riley has released two more albums, Ain't My Last Rodeo and Don't Mind If I Do, and teamed up with fellow country artists like Luke Combs and Ella Langley.
His duet with Langley, You Look Like You Love Me, won a Country Music Association award in 2024.
In recent months, Green has been romantically linked to country music darling Megan Moroney.
Green insisted that he was still single back in March, but it hasn't stopped the speculation around him and Moroney.

Renee Zellweger stuns as she leads the stars at Gotham Television Awards amid rumors about Ant Anstead romance
Renée Zellweger looked gorgeous in an off-the-shoulder black dress at Monday evening's 2025 Gotham Television Awards in New York City. The 56-year-old longtime actress — whom sources tell is living apart from boyfriend Ant Anstead, 46 — commanded attention in the form-fitting number, which cinched at the waist and fell to her ankles. She wore her blonde locks in a fuss-free updo that included a side part and face-framing loose strands at the front. Zellweger kept the look simple, opting for minimal accessories as she rounded out the outfit with pointy-toe black heels. Her wrinkle-free face was taut and glowing as she hit the red carpet in natural-looking makeup. The Bridget Jones's Diary star has been in the Big Apple filming the new season of Only Murders in the Building. Last month she was spotted working on a scene with fellow Hollywood vet Bobby Cannavale. During the mid-May shoot day Zellweger sported a ginger-toned bob hairstyle with a side part and flipped ends. Details regarding her OMITB character have been kept under wraps, but co-star/producer Selena Gomez recently shared photos from the production featuring Zellweger. Friends of the siren told in February that she has put the brakes on her relationship with Anstead, revealing she is not interested in marriage. 'Renée and Ant have been dating for over three years,' one insider said. 'She loves the relationship the way it is. 'She's seen so many couples, especially celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who have happily dated, only to split not long after getting married. 'Why would she risk rocking the boat and rushing to take her relationship with Ant to the next level?' Alec Baldwin, 67, and wife Hilaria Baldwin, 41, coordinated in shades of blue. Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria Baldwin coordinated in shades of blue Her co-star Leslie Bibb, 51, was also in attendance, arriving in a pale turquoise satin dress with a high collar Hilaria looked darling in a slinky, sleeveless, royal blue number with a flesh-baring cutout at the back. She showed off a fresh haircut featuring her brunette locks chopped into flattering face-framing bangs. Parker Posey, 56, was among the superstars at the awards show on Monday. The White Lotus actress wowed in a cream-colored dress with a plunging neckline and long, sheer, bell sleeves. The fashion-forward beauty added matching lacy gloves to the 60s-inspired look, which included a subtly ruffled hemline. Parker debuted a new look — a rust-hued hairstyle with a center part and curled ends. She added round, pink-tinted sunglasses and carried a chic handbag with a long chain that she gathered around her hand. Her costar Leslie Bibb, 51, was also in attendance, arriving in a pale turquoise satin dress with a high collar. And another White Lotus standout, 44-year-old Carrie Coon, looked exquisite in an off-the-shoulder white column gown. Sheryl Lee Ralph, 68, looked younger than her years in a little black dress with a side slit. Her halter neck look showed off her cleavage and she punctuated the timeless look with open-toe heels, revealing a white pedicure. She flashed her megawatt smile in a full face of glamorous makeup, and her dark locks were arranged in a center part and fluffy curls. Jenny Slate, 43, arrived in an eye-catching black dress featuring a short white shawl accoutrement. The It Ends With Us actress accentuated her trim waistline with the frock's corset bodice, which transitioned into a billowy skirt. Her jaw-length jet black locks were in a middle part with a natural tousled texture and one side tucked behind her ear. Severance star Britt Lower, 39, modeled a sleeveless white dress with thin black line accents. Her red hair was pulled into a sleek updo with short, side-swept bangs left out at the front. Also dressed in white was Netflix actress Lovie Simone, who stars in the streamer's hit coming-of-age series Forever. She posed for photos in a Versace gown with asymmetric straps, a thigh-high slit, and subtle ruching. The New York native complemented the getup with a bombshell hairstyle that was parted on the side and set in tight wand waves. Her old Hollywood glamour-inspired makeup was complete with a matte, berry-toned lip stain. Actress Justine Lupe looked great arriving in a delicate black slip dress with beaded accents throughout. The 36-year-old Nobody Wants This star wore her long, bright blonde locks loose, set in a middle part and slightly textured as they flowed down her back. Her makeup was flawlessly applied and featured fluttery lashes that made her blue eyes pop, and glossy pink lipstick. Meanwhile, YouTube sensation Cleo Abram, 32, turned heads in a two-toned green and black slip dress. The top half of the look boasted low-cut black lace while the lower half called attention with an emerald green skirt. She added pointy-toe black heels to pull the sultry getup together. Model Haley Kalil, 32, looked angelic in a flowing, low-cut white dress with stone detailing at the chest. Actress Rachel Brosnahan, 34, bared her long legs in a quirky black mini dress. The netted number boasted a thigh-length black skirt that swelled at her hips, creating an exaggerated silhouette. The sleeveless look teased a built-in black bra underneath, and the Superman star pulled her glossy, dark locks back for the occasion. Actress Madeline Brewer, 33, was fashion-forward in a green sleeveless dress with draped detail. The 2025 Gotham TV Awards ceremony, celebrating outstanding achievement in television, was held at Cipriani Wall Street. Crime series Adolescence led the nominations across three categories — Breakthrough Limited Series, Lead Performance in a Limited Series, and Supporting Performance in a Limited Series. AppleTV+'s The Studio took home the first award of the night for Breakthrough Comedy Series, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Cardi B reveals massive fortune she spends on her kids that includes $10K a month on a DRIVER
Cardi B delved into her family's over-the-top finances and made a dig at her estranged husband Offset in a furious social media stream over the weekend. The 32-year-old rapper, who shares three children with the Migos artist — Kulture, six, Wave, three, and Blossom, eight months — said that the rapper has not pitched in a penny for the kids since their split. 'A whole year straight, you have left me with the kids' bills,' Cardi B said on X Spaces. 'Y'all want to know what's the kids' bills? Start adding. 'My kids got their own driver — they pick them up from school, they drop them off and they take them to gymnastics and boxing classes. The kids' driver is on a retainer for $10,000 a month.' The Girls Like You rapper — who has gone Instagram official in her romance with stalwart NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs — audited the expensive tuitions she is footing the bill for, claiming Offset didn't help with any of it. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Kulture's school this year — you didn't pay for it — that's $45,000,' said Cardi B. 'Wave's school a year is $35,000, which you didn't help me pay for it this year at all.' The hip-hop mainstay, whose full name is Belcalis Almánzar, added she pays a relative $3,000 weekly to babysit, and a nanny for their baby Blossom charges a daily fee of $500. Cardi B listed a series of ancillary charges she's eaten in the near-year since their bitter breakup. 'Kulture and Wave get tutoring four times a week. Each hour is $250. Count that up,' she said. 'Kulture's piano class, that's $300 an hour and she gets piano classes three times a week. 'I'm not sure how much is gymnastics and Wave's boxing classes, but I pay that too,' she added. The I Like It performer also was critical of Offset for seeking spousal support in the split, again itemizing expenses she's paid for without his assistance. 'Kiari, have I asked you for anything?' the Bodak Yellow vocalist said. 'You want spousal support so bad. And mind you, this is not even including food - my kids have a personal chef that comes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that I pay for because people in my house don't have time to cook.' Cardi also said that Offset has 'seen Blossom only like five times' since her birth last fall. She added, 'I been trying to save your face. I said you can see my kids in my house. I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. He hasn't seen his kids since March.' Cardi B filed for divorce from the musical artist in July of 2024, and petitioned the court for full custody of their three kids. She and Offset initially wed in 2017 and had previously filed for divorce in 2020, but eventually called it off. Diggs shared an image of himself in the uniform of his new team, the New England Patriots, amid speculation his mounting controversies could cause a distraction to the team ahead of training camp, endangering his roster spot.
