Being that it’s the Country Music Capital of the World, Nashville is home to many country singers and other celebrities who enjoy the country life. But, unlike Los Angeles or New York, Nashville doesn’t have the accompanying paparazzi community that invades celebrities’ privacy. Thanks to their ability to fly under the radar, these celebrities are often spotted out and about in Nashville.

Carrie Underwood

The American Idol alum and her hockey player hubby, Mike Fisher, reside in the prestigious Governor’s Club in the suburb of Brentwood. Along with their two-year-old tot, Isaiah, the Fishers can be found attending local churches, shopping at the supermarket, and ordering sweets from local bakeries like Ivey Cake in downtown Franklin. In fact, both Carrie’s and Isaiah’s birthday cakes were custom made by Ivey and her team.

Brad Paisley

South of Nashville in the town of Franklin is where Brad Paisley and his wife, Kimberley, have settled. While Brad spends a lot of time on tour, locals have seen the country crooner and his wife toting their boys, Huckleberry and Jasper, around Nashville. Whether it’s to swimming lessons, school activities, or a night out at a local restaurant, Brad and his family do venture out on occasion, but the Paisley clan keeps a mostly low-profile existence.

Taylor Swift

While the singer/songwriter owns several properties across the U.S., she does own a penthouse in Midtown Nashville. The star has been spotted in several Nashville-area locales including Whole Foods Market, Pangaea in Hillsboro Village, and local music venues to watch other artists perform. She enjoys spending time in East Nashville, as well as Green Hills and The Gulch.

Sheryl Crow

When she moved to Nashville in 2012, Sheryl Crow wanted a place where her two sons could roam and still have lots of privacy. Now she lives with her boys on 50 acres of land in Nashville. She does hit the Franklin area often, where you’ll most likely find her searching for vintage finds at antique stores at The Factory at Franklin.

Justin Timberlake

Whether he’s got a tour stop in Nashville or is just passing through, the heartthrob has made his mark in Nashville getting noticed in the West End area close to downtown. There’s a chance you’ll catch him at a local eatery or living it up at a lively music venue.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

One of country music‘s favorite couples has to be Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The lovebirds, along with their three daughters, have property outside of Nashville. They’ve called the city of Franklin home before, and while they tend to stay out of the public eye most of the time, you never know when you might run into this inspiring duo.
