Humiliating truth about Nashville’s most hated influencer and her relationship with Riley Green: Insiders reveal secret reason she was desperate to date country star… his brutal opinion of her… and derogatory two-word nickname people call her

When it comes to the world of country music, there is no better place to be than in the city of Nashville, Tennessee.But for Nashville’s crop of country artists, and the social media influencers looking to rub shoulders with their favorite musicians, relationship speculation and rumors of affairs can run wild in the Music City.That’s why all eyes have been on Bryana Ferringer, a model living in Nashville with close ties to the country music scene’s rising stars.Between her romantic links to singers Riley Green, 37, and Tucker Wetmore, 26, and rumors of a love triangle with country’s newest darling Ella Langley, 26, Ferringer has already solidified her status as a Nashville ‘it’ girl.However, as one inside source has detailed exclusively to the Daily Mail, if there is one fate that serves to threaten Ferringer’s rising star power, it is accusations that the ‘clout chasing’ model is positioning herself next to Nashville’s biggest names to advance her own career.In the past year alone, Ferringer, 27, has been linked to some of country music’s biggest names. Bryana Ferringer, 27, is a model living in Nashville with close ties to the country music scene’s rising stars Ella Langley, 26, and Riley Green, 37, topped the Billboard country music charts in 2024 with their hit duet, ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ (pictured in May 2025)The model, originally from Georgia, previously sparked romance rumors with Wetmore after she was featured in the music video for his 2024 song, Wind Up Missin’ You.But after around one year of dating, fans speculated the pair had called it quits when Ferringer attended the 2025 Country Music Awards in November with fellow country singer, Green. She was seen supporting him on tour as early as August 2025.Just one month later, Wetmore released a new song, called Proving Me Right, and listeners were convinced the cryptic lyrics were about his breakup with Ferringer.Those dating rumors were further escalated in February, when Ferringer and Green were spotted sitting together courtside during a college basketball game at Green’s alma mater, and then again at one of Green’s concerts in his home state of Alabama in April. Last month they were pictured at Tootsies in Panama City Beach.His apparent lack of affection sparked questions about her intentions, with one Reddit user branding her ‘Riley’s doormat,’ while another wrote: ‘There’s literally been photo evidence of him hanging (if not more) with other girls yet she’s still there biting at his heels. Poor girl has a serious case of fame hunger.’According to one insider, the negative online chatter that she is ‘trying to be famous’ isn’t too far from the truth. ‘She has said that her ultimate goal is to be a Brittany Aldean type – not politically but as a WAG,’ they told us. ‘I think she can be calculated when it comes to what she wants and she wants to be with an artist – and a big one at that.‘She would kill for the attention. She would love nothing more than to be the girl that people are talking about. The girl that these hot country artists want.’ In response to rumors that Ferringer and Green are dating, a source told the Daily Mail: ‘Bryana has been at Riley’s concerts and stuff, but there’s not more to it than that’ Green, who has previously sparked romance rumors with Langley and Megan Maroney, brought Ferringer as his date to the 2025 Country Music Awards in November (pictured in April 2026)Born in September 1998, the model grew up in Macon, Georgia, with an older brother, Taylor, and a younger sister, Kaytlen.Her father, Kevin Ferringer, works in sales and marketing while her mother, Yolanda Ferringer, is a business office manager at a dental care center.Ferringer graduated from Tattnall Square Academy, a private Christian school in Georgia, in 2017. She attended Georgia College and State University for a year before dropping out, she revealed on the Under The Table Talk podcast in 2023.She lived in Charleston and Tampa before finally moving to Nashville in 2023. She is currently signed to Nashville-based modeling agency, The Block Agency.With over 200,00 followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts, Ferringer’s influencer career has surely taken off.Within the past year, she has posted sponsored content for brands such as Stetson and American Eagle, as well as an ad for Faceapp and the Bible app Haven. She was gifted a complimentary dinner at STK Steakhouse in March, and modeled in campaigns for Guy Fox cologne, Lane 201 clothing, Salt Project and Western and Co leather apparel, as well as landing a magazine cover.She also joined the ranks of influencers who flocked to the desert for the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, this year, where she stayed with fellow content creators at the 1AM Management Clubhouse.Coincidentally, her rumored boyfriend Green was scheduled to perform at the country music festival, as well as Billboard chart-topper Langley, but the high desert winds forced an ’emergency evacuation’ of the fairground. Ferringer, originally from Georgia, is an influencer and model with over 200,00 followers across Instagram and TikTok Langley’s relationship with Green, her frequent collaborator and duet partner, has been a major topic of speculation among country music fans (pictured in March 2026)For country music fans, Green’s relationship with Langley – his frequent collaborator and duet partner – has been much the topic of speculation.Their duet, You Look Like You Love Me, dominated the country music charts when it was released in June 2024, as listeners praised their vocal chemistry. Langley had also opened for Green on his Ain’t My Last Rodeo tour that year, which fueled fans’ hopes that the pair were dating.In September 2024, Green and Langley collaborated on another duet, Don’t Mind If I Do.They performed You Look Like You Love Me at the 2024 Country Music Awards, where they won the award for best musical event of the year that evening. Following the success from their duet, Green hinted that he and Langley may release an album together in the future.However, both Green and Langley have often shut down any rumors of a romance between them.Speaking to Taste of Country in September 2024, Langley told the outlet they are ‘not dating’ and she is ‘just good friends’ with Green.He echoed that sentiment the following month, when Green said in an interview with Billboard that they are ‘just friends.’Green also joked on the Viall Files podcast that year: ‘Ella’s too smart to date me anyway.’ Langley and Green took home three awards for their hit song, ‘You Look Like You Love Me,’ at the 2025 CMA Awards (seen)In fact, the singer himself has often emphasized his single status in podcasts and interviews. During an appearance on the In the Blind podcast in March 2025, Green revealed he was ‘pretty damn’ single.He also reflected on his dating struggles in an interview with Country Now, telling the outlet in July last year that his past relationships didn’t last long due to his poor communication skills.When asked if he’s matured over the years and would be a better boyfriend this time around, Green said: ‘There’s probably women everywhere that’d volunteer to answer that question for you. I don’t think I’ve gotten any better at any of that.’Such words ring true for one insider who claims Green is keeping things under wraps with Ferringer because he ‘wants to keep his options open.’‘I’m actually surprised they’ve been together for this long,’ the insider told us. ‘There are only two reasons you are secretive: you either really truly want to maintain your privacy, or you want to have your cake and eat it too.’His actions have raised concern among Ferringer’s friends, with the first insider telling us: ‘Look at the trail he’s left behind of broken hearts, you’d never want that for a friend. He’s been notorious for having wandering eyes. But I think they are both providing what each other wants.’Taking a dig at how Green messages women via his dog’s Instagram account, they added: ‘Any dude that uses his dog’s Instagram to get women is pretty lame.’It is unclear how Ferringer feels about the apparent set up, but she was seemingly irked at the 2025 CMA Awards last November.One attendee claimed to celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi that Ferringer, who was sat with Green, got up from her seat ‘in the middle of the show and left’ after Green and Langley ‘won their second award’ of the night.While neither Green nor Ferringer have responded to the alleged DeuxMoi sighting, the country music singer later explained his decision to bring the Nashville influencer as his date to the show. Tucker Wetmore, 26, is a fellow country musician and the rumored ex-boyfriend of Ferringer (pictured in November 2024)’It’s gonna be tough to tiptoe out of having a date to an award show,’ he told Backstage Country’s Elaina Smith in December.’Yeah, I mean, you go to award shows all the time, and I’m always by myself, or I’ve got like, a security guy, or a buddy with me, so I took a friend with me to the award show,’ Green said, adding: ‘We had a nice time. My mom’s gone with me before. So it was my first or second award show date ever. I guess I’ve gotten big enough this is a really big issue.’Although Green brushed off all the commotion about his date, it seemed that Ferringer’s attendance at the ceremony turned out to be a ‘really big issue’ for her rumored ex-boyfriend Wetmore, who was also at the awards as a first-time nominee and performer.Less than one month after the event, Wetmore released the single Proving Me Right, and it didn’t take long for fans to speculate the track was about Ferringer.In the song, Wetmore sings, ‘You want me to see you with him/Switching from red to crimson,’ which some listeners thought was a reference to the Crimson Tide of Green’s home state of Alabama.He also sings, ‘Yeah, I saw what you was just chasin’/Queen bee, the game that you’re playin’/Ain’t worth the whiskey I wasted,’ and ‘Keep on doin’ me wrong now, baby/Bout time they get to know ya, baby.’Just last month, Wetmore spoke about relationships while chatting with reality TV star Kristin Cavallari on her podcast, Let’s Be Honest.Without sharing specifics, he shared some of the red flags he noticed ‘early on’ in a previous relationship, such as his ex-girlfriend going out in Nashville ‘two, three times’ a week and ‘leaving me with your dog.’ Ferringer has often posted photos of her dog, Mako, to her Instagram account.Wetmore also said that his unnamed ex was ‘hanging out with other dudes’ during their relationship, leading him to ‘swear off blondes’ entirely.However, the singer suggested that he was the one to call it quits, as he has ‘never been broken up with.’ Following his podcast appearance, as well as the cryptic lyrics to his breakup song, some online critics have used Wetmore’s comments to suggest that Ferringer is socially climbing the ladder of Nashville royalty.Another insider insisted Ferringer ‘isn’t trying to be famous’ and is ‘not a clout chaser.’‘She doesn’t even like to be seen when she goes to concerts and stuff. She’s a down to earth, regular country girl. She doesn’t think she’s famous and doesn’t want to be famous,’ they said.But, there is no denying she is keen to date a country singer. When asked on the Under The Table Talk podcast in 2023, she replied: ‘Oh yeah.’The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ferringer, Green and Wetmore for comment.
