Riley Green and Carly Pearce Create Sparks with “Don’t Mind If I Do” Duet in Nashville
Downtown Nashville lit up when Riley Green and Carly Pearce teamed up for a surprise performance of “Don’t Mind If I Do” at a free concert that also featured country favorites Rascal Flatts. Their duet quickly became one of the evening’s standout moments, drawing a massive crowd and sparking plenty of buzz online.
The song is originally recorded as a duet with Ella Langley, who has often shared the stage with Green. Fans praised Langley’s set earlier in the night, but they also applauded Pearce for stepping into the role and bringing her own flair to the song. Her strong vocals and seamless chemistry with Green made the performance feel effortless and fresh.

What could have been a hiccup turned into a standout performance — a moment that showcased her professionalism and natural stage presence. In Nashville, she once again delivered, proving why she’s considered one of the most reliable live performers in the genre.
