When it comes to celebrity spotting, there are quite a few folks who find themselves searching the streets of Los Angeles and New York. Well, we understand the sentiment. But does the world even KNOW the number of celebrities Tennessee boasts? Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift – before that new-fangled New York infatuation. We’re focusing on Nashville, because it’s the hub of all things media in the state, but if you know where to find someone famous in Tennessee, we want the in!
- Downtown Franklin
Downtown Franklin / Facebook Steven Curtis Chapman and Hayley Williams call Franklin home, and Justin Bieber has been known to record a music video or two in downtown. It’s a sweet spot filled with history and upscale boutiques - Faith Hill is a fan, and Reese Witherspoon’s family hails from not too far away.
- Fido

- Puckett’s Grocery of Leiper’s Fork
Pucketts / Facebook Tucked back in teensy tiny Leiper’s Fork, the original Puckett’s is where the real time, grizzled songwriters and performers go to get away. It’s a sweet spot, a good place, and precisely where you’ll run into that famous person you never knew you knew.
- The Mall at Green Hills
Charles Wiriawan / Facebook The upscale mall is a favorite of Julianne Hough when she comes to visit family, catering to the upper class with shops such as Tiffany’s and Jimmy Choo.
- The Pancake Pantry
Paula Norris Carter / Flickr Here’s another great spot for Taylor Swift lovers - the country turned pop star is a huge fan of the flapjack spot, often spotted here with her brother and family.
- The Patterson House
Michael White / Facebook Yeah, yeah - the photo is dark. Why? Because this upscale speakeasy hides the latest and greatest in country music fame. You may just spot your favorite “Nashville” star here, too!
- Whole Foods - Green Hills OR Franklin
Whole Foods / Facebook Because, duh. Whole Foods is a mecca for all upper class folk, waving them in with organic carrot puree and liver cleanse pills. We’ve actually seen Taylor Swift here before! Plus, just check a star’s Instagram - they’re usually coming on a weekday afternoon, away from the crowds.
