Just a few weeks ago, Riley Green walked away from the CMA Awards with a few accolades. Collaborating with Ella Langley on “You Look Like You Love Me”, the pair won Song of the Year and Single of the Year. Watching his career continue to expand with each new release, Green decided to return to the CMAs. But instead of awards, the country star was there to celebrate the holiday season with a performance of “Christmas To Me” at CMA Country Christmas.

Most people can remember Christmas as a child. For some, that included waking up to a blanket of snow outside and presents under the tree. Others might remember the anticipation on Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa to stop by. Or how about those timeless family traditions like cutting a Christmas tree, baking cookies, or building a snowman? No matter the memory – people love nostalgia.

Wanting to share his own memories of Christmas, Green released “Christmas To Me”, which included some hometown lyrics. “Grandma’s yard looks like a parking lot/Daddy’s making one last trip down to Bass Pro Shop/Everybody’s favorite covered up in grandma’s wrap/And all them grandkids lined up to sit on Grandpa’s lap/Everybody’s in their Sunday best.”

THE STADIUM ERUPTS THE MOMENT CELINE DION SINGS — but it isn’t just the roar of thousands that hits you. It’s the way time seems to stop the exact second those first trembling notes of My Heart Will Go On float into the air. One heartbeat… then another… and suddenly an arena full of strangers is transported back to 1997, to icy water and trembling hands, to a love story the world never recovered from. Celine stands there — luminous, fragile, unbreakable — and with one breath she turns a song everyone knows into a memory everyone feels. Phones rise, tears fall, and a quiet miracle happens: thousands breathe at the same rhythm, as if the whole stadium becomes a single living thing. By the final chorus, people aren’t just listening — they’re holding onto someone, wiping their cheeks, whispering ‘She still has it… she still is it.’ And when she lifts her hand toward the lights, every heart lifts with her, proof that after all these years, this song doesn’t just live… it still heals.
