RILEY GREEN KEEPS TAKING OFF HIS COWBOY HAT ON THE VOICE — AND CARSON DALY HAD TO STEP IN WITH A SPECIAL SOLUTION NO OTHER COACH HAS! Riley Green is rarely seen without his signature cowboy hat, so his hatless appearances on The Voice have an unexpectedly funny explanation. The country star admitted that his famous look created a problem nobody had anticipated when he joined the coaching panel. When Carson Daly discovered the issue, he helped arrange a unique adjustment just for Riley. And the clever solution has since become something Riley can use to his advantage when competing for country singers.

Why Riley Green Doesn’t Always Wear His Hat on ‘The Voice’: How the Show Accommodated His Signature Cowboy Look

Riley Green is known for wearing a baseball cap or a cowboy hat in nearly all of his public appearances, so you might be surprised to see him without one on The Voice.

The 37-year-old country singer has opened up about why he’s not always wearing his hat on the NBC show.

Riley told Ohio’s K99.1 FM radio station, “Carson Daly was like, we’re sitting over there and he said, ‘What are you going to do with your hat? Are you going to wear it during the show?’ I said, ‘Well, I can’t because the chair, the back of it, you can’t wear a cowboy hat with a tall chair like that.’”

Fortunately, they came up with a solution so that his hat is still around.

“And I was like, ‘Man, it’d be cool to have a little holster for it.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I’m one of the executive producers. I can probably get that done,’” Riley said. “Next thing I know, I got a little holster for my hat. So nobody else has that.”

“It’s right there on the side, I kinda sheath it when I sit down,” he added.
