\n\tWearing a typical black Stetson and muscle-baring denim shirt, Green delivered a smoldering performance of the hit song. The singer-songwriter took things to the next level on the bridge, as he walked out from the set he\u2019d been playing in front of with his backing band \u2014 designed to look like the interior of a wood cabin \u2014\u00a0and approached a microphone on a side stage surrounded by the audience, where his no-doubt swooning fans could better appreciate the song\u2019s slow-burning heat.<\/p>\n

\n\tGreen is nominated for four awards<\/a> at the 2026 ceremonies: album of the year (for Don\u2019t Mind If I Do (Deluxe)), male artist of the year, music event of the year (for \u201cDon\u2019t Mind If I Do\u201d with Ella Langley) and artist-songwriter of the year (which he lost before the broadcast to his duet partner Langley). He\u2019s a four-time career winner at the awards, including a win for top new male vocalist in 2020, and two awards for his and Langley\u2019s first duet \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me\u201d in 2024: single of the year and visual media of the year. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChange My Mind\u201d currently ranks at No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> (dated May 16), having spent 14 weeks on the chart and previously peaked at No. 27. The song already marks Green\u2019s fourth top 40 hit on the chart, following the two aforementioned Langley collabs, and his own solo \u201cWorst Way,\u201d a No. 20 hit in summer 2025. <\/p>\n
