Riley Burruss returned to her roots over the weekend during a trip to Georgia. The Next Gen NYC cast member headed back home, where she attended a Beyoncé concert with her mom and some very special friends.
Riley took to her Instagram Story earlier in the week, where she revealed that she was attending Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour. In photos and videos posted to her Story, Riley can be seen wearing denim shorts, leather chaps, and a red cowboy hat during one night of the tour, dancing alongside her mom, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss.
After attending the tour for a second night, Riley returned to her Instagram Story, where she posted a mirror picture alongside a mystery person. In the photo, Riley can be seen wearing a cropped denim blazer, denim shorts, and a denim cowboy hat, making a kissy face for the camera, while her mystery friend placed a kiss on her cheek.
Although it’s unclear who this person is — if it’s just a friend, or a significant other — Riley seemed pretty excited about it. “Yeehaw,” she wrote in the caption of the photo.
Riley also took to her Instagram account earlier this week, where she posted a series of photos from the evening, alongside her mom, rocking her denim outfit. “Cowboy Carter with the [Kandi Koated Clique],” she wrote in the caption of the post.
Riley’s friends took to the comments where they hyped her up. “OMG NEXT LEVEL,” Next Gen NYC cast member, Brooks Marks, wrote.
“U LOOK SO GOOD,” Riley’s BFF and Next Gen NYCÂ cast member, Ariana Biermann, added.

She continued, noting that she does not want a partner who is “in the same field” as her, which is the entertainment business (and possibly law). “Because, I feel like, you know, I went to school for, I’ve been in the industry, so I can keep learning about that and I can teach you about that,” she admitted. “I don’t need you to constantly be teaching me about something I’ve already been learning. So yeah, I think just someone who’s kind and can handle me even when I’m rowdy.”

She also admitted that her mom has given her some dating advice. But, it’s not necessarily advice that she has used. “I mean, my mom’s always talking about different things she’s learned, but I feel like it’s such a different time,” she admitted.

Why Riley Burruss doesn’t want to live in Atlanta
Although Riley really enjoyed her weekend back at home, she recently explained her reasoning for wanting to live in NYC. Riley and Kandi sat down with Kandi’s husband, Todd Tucker, during Next Gen NYC Season 1, Episode 5, where Riley admitted that she wants to stay in Brooklyn.
“I feel like I’ll be more in your shadow, I guess, if I stay in Atlanta,” she said.
