Ruby Leigh is having quite the year. Last Fall, she came in second place on The Voice when she was just 16 years old. Since then, she has continued to live the dream by playing at such places as the Grand Ole Opry and releasing her first single, Love’s Like a Rose.
Yesterday, she had the time of her life because she got to sing with Green Day, her favorite band, and use Billie Joe Armstrong’s guitar during the band’s concert in Kansas City.
The Voice runner-up held up a sign during the show that read, “I’m 17, please let me play Good Riddance.”
So, at the end of the show, Armstrong called her up on stage to do just that! The singer let her shine! And boy, did she do just that.
Then, when they were done, he grabbed her phone out of her back pocket and took photos of and with her and the band.
After the show, she shared a video and photos from her night and wrote, “This was one of the absolute greatest nights of my life. Another notch on my bucket list!
“I’ve dreamed of singing with @billiejoearmstrong and @greenday for so long and it finally came true!
“Thank you to Billie for calling me up! Thank you Lord!”
My hat is off to Ruby for having the balls to do that and knock it out of the stadium. Because if it were me, I would’ve acted like an American Idiot.
And my hat is also off to Armstrong for being such a fucking awesome dude! We need more Rockers like him.
Green Day is promoting their new album, Saviors, which is out today. So they did a stopover on The Tonight Show to get the word out.
Jimmy Fallon thought they should do more than just perform in his studio, so he had them sing their songs in a NYC subway station.
And the commuters didn’t have a problem with that. In fact, they rocked out along with the band as they san Basket Case, Dilemma, Look Ma, No Brains, and American Idiot.
We already got a bitchin’ sneak peek of the latter song when someone posted it on TikTok. And the whole mini-concert was bombtastic!

Before Billie Joe Armstrong was singing Oh Love with Green Day, he recorded Look for Love by himself when he was in elementary school. How cute did the 5-year-old sound in 1979?
However, as cute as he sounded, he looked even cuter listening to himself singing back then on Howard Stern’s radio show today.
Jimmy Fallon invited Green Day to play a NYC subway station for a segment on The Tonight Show, and New Yawkers had no problem with it.
In fact, they belted out American Idiots with the band. Because in NYC, that is what we think of everyone who is not from there. Don’t be upset. It is just how we are!
So, for those few moments, we accepted the band as one of our own. And we love that they changed the lyrics from I’m not a part of a redneck agenda to MAGA agaenda. Cause we hate Trump, and we proudly say we don’t support his hateful, American-destroying movement.
So, that is why Ya Boi and the other commuters declared, “Sometimes the subway in NYC isn’t too bad.”
However, other days, we don’t want to talk about it. But today, we are talking about how fucking cool this Green Day performance was!
And am I the only one who found Fallon looking really hot here? Tell me, I am not alone.
