1. Taylor Swift
The most famous celebrity who lives in Nashville is Taylor Swift. It makes sense, too, as Swift started her music career as a country star before she migrated over to the world of pop. She lives in Forest Hills, right next to Nashville, in a gated community. The home has a study, a gorgeous kitchen, and many little amenities. Yet, despite everything she does, Swift keeps it homey and loves chilling by her pool with friends.
Oh, and not to be outdone, she also has a penthouse in a high-rise building right in the center of Nashville. So, needless to say, that’s where she goes when she wants to get a little closer to the action of the Grand Ol Opry.
2. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
Yep, it’s another country music star who married a gorgeous superstar wife. (This seems to be a common Nashville celebrity dream, from what we can see.) Urban and Kidman live together in the heart of the Belle Meade area of Nashville, right in the gated community of Northumberland. Besides being home to many celebrities, Belle Meade is one of the richest neighborhoods in Nashville.
Their $3.8 million-dollar home has about 12,000 square feet they enjoy together. The home has a tennis court and a full-size pool, though not much else is known about the home’s interior.
3. Jason Aldean
Country music star Jason Aldean has no problem flaunting his blue-collar roots, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy the finer things in life. Aldean lives with his wife in a beautiful 120-acre home just outside Nashville proper.
The house sold for over $7 million, features fountains outside the home, and has six bedrooms. It’s a popular place for tourists to check out simply because this house is so over the top!
4. Dolly Parton
Another famous celebrity that lives in Nashville is Dolly Parton. And she also has the title of the reigning queen of Nashville. Everyone knows from the Southern twang in her voice that she is a Nashville resident. She owns a palatial home in Brentwood, which is one of the safest neighborhoods in Nashville.
Her massive property has multiple guest houses, a second-story patio, a pool, and a full-size tennis court. Unfortunately, you probably won’t be able to see much there. She had a super-long driveway installed to help offer some privacy to both her and her guests.
5. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
The singer of “Live Like You Were Dying” is also a fan of living in Nashville. Of course, Tim McGraw has a tendency of wanting the very best that life has to offer. That’s why he married fellow superstar Faith Hill.
The iconic couple also has a reputation for having one of the largest homes in Nashville. It is a whopping, jaw-dropping, eye-popping 22,000 square feet. Five bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a pool, and a three-car garage make it one of the most shockingly large homes you’ll ever see.
6. Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon, an Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in "Legally Blonde" and "Walk the Line," has strong ties to Nashville. Witherspoon's portrayal of June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line" showcased her singing talents and connection to country music.
In 2022, she purchased a custom-built estate in Nashville for $18 million. The house includes a full-sized tennis court with a viewing pavilion, a spoon-shaped swimming pool, and ample outdoor entertainment space. Besides acting, she is a successful producer and entrepreneur with her own production company, Hello Sunshine, and a lifestyle brand, Draper James.
7. Kristin Cavallari
Kristin Cavallari, known for her roles on reality TV shows like "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills," ventured into entrepreneurship after relocating to Nashville. She founded Uncommon James, a lifestyle brand offering jewelry, home goods, and beauty items. Additionally, she's an author, sharing her expertise on style, cooking, and wellness.
Amid the pandemic, Cavallari purchased a three-story farmhouse in Nashville for $5.5 million, spread across 38 acres, following her separation from former NFL player Jay Cutler. She resides there with her three children, embracing life in Music City.
8. Jack White
Jack White, from the White Stripes, is another famous celebrity who lives in Nashville. The private rock star might be one of the few to have a house comparable to Tim McGraw’s—currently at 18,000 square feet.
Oddly enough, not much is known about his home. All we know is that it’s done in a black, white, and red theme, which is not surprising, at the least.
9. John Rich
John Rich is another famous celebrity that lives in Nashville. This rockstar has no problem flaunting his wealth, not just because of his name. He calls his Nashville estate “Mt. Richmore,” and it’s best described as extravagant for extravagance’s sake.
This sprawling home has a guitar-shaped pool, a 4,000-square-foot private club, and 20 rooms. Oh, and it also has a toilet that is also in the shape of a guitar. It seems like Rich really enjoys his guitars.
10. Todd Chrisley
While many celebs tend to move to Nashville to flaunt their wealth (cough, cough, John Rich), Todd Chrisley tends to take a different approach to things. Unlike most others on this list, Chrisley kept things luxurious but humble.
The $1.6-million home has four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The interior keeps things elegant with a spiral staircase and marble accents. That’s just like him. He loves to keep things elegant in an understated way.
11. Big Kenny
Big Kenny took the time to turn his home into its own brand. He calls the brick Tudor-style mansion the “Chateau di Amore,” a nod to his love of a plush home. Eight bedrooms, six full baths, an in-home studio, and a full Western saloon are just some of the things that make this home outstanding.
According to the listing, this sprawling home features over 18,000 square feet of space. It was most recently listed for $10 million, so if you somehow have that much money, you might be able to snag it…If it ever goes on sale.
12. Kathie Lee Gifford
Another well-known celebrity who lives in Nashville is Kathi Lee Gifford. She’s a TV show host, comedian, and actress extraordinaire. She’s been a happy resident of Nashville since her move in 2018. From what we’ve heard, her 7,900-square-foot brownstone is the envy of the neighborhood.
Gifford’s home features tons of nice little touches, including granite countertops, crown molding, and striking views of the neighborhood. She lives alongside her kids and has enjoyed all that living in Nashville offers.
After all, who could blame her for liking it? Nashville is a celebrity hotspot for a reason. There’s always so much to do in the city’s limits and beyond.
