The duration of this tour depends on how long you spend at each stop. If you rush, it can be done in 3 hours or so, but that’s no fun. You can't rush awesome. If you don’t have the full 3-4 hours, just pick your top stops and skip the rest!

NASHVILLE TOUR: Part 1 of 3 ​

OPEN PART 1 IN GOOGLE MAPS

VR VIP Tip! We have you starting near the heart of Nashville at Taylor Swift’s, so ​ depending on your plans, check out some of the hot spots Downtown on Broadway. Lots of celebrity-owned joints there! More details in the hot spot section below.

1. Taylor Swift Penthouse - 900 20th Avenue South PH#10, Nashville, TN 37212 ​ ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Taylor lives in a massive penthouse unit here at the Adelicia. It was quite convenient given Big Machine Records, her former record label turned enemy, is down the street. ​

VR VIP Tip! Just down 21st Avenue S is a cute spot called Fido. Locals know it as T Swift's ​ ​ ​ favorite! Next to that is Pancake Pantry, a Nashville staple that’s always packed. ​ ​

2. John Rich House - 3432 Love Circle, Nashville, TN 37212 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

On your way to Big Kenny’s, the GPS will tell you to turn on Sharondale Drive, but the sign says Chesterfield.

3. Big Kenny House - 2325 Golf Club Lane, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

4. Amy Grant & Vince Gill House - 515 Park Center Avenue, Nashville, TN 37205 ​ ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Amy & Vince’s house is on a dead end street without much space to turn around. Please be respectful of them as well as their neighbors.

5. Todd Chrisley House - 806 Lynnwood Blvd, Nashville, TN 37205 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Late 2020 Edition © Velvet Ropes, Inc. Page 3 of 10 ​ ​

If you’re expecting to see what they show on TV, think again! They have significantly changed the home, starting with massive shrubs and gates.

The next 2 homes are close but there is no meaningful view. Taylor’s home is hidden - Keith and Nicole’s is in a gated community. Because of that, they are not included in the Google Maps link for Part 1 of the tour, but you can still check them out if you wish by circling back on Lynnwood and turning right on Harding Place - less than 1 mile on the right you’ll pass Taylor’s, which is behind a red brick wall (white house). Keith and Nicole’s community, Northumberland, is right past Taylor’s on the right.

6. Taylor Swift House - 2201 Harding Place, Forest Hills, TN 37215 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

7. Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman House - 29 Northumberland, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

VR VIP Tip! If interested, not far from here is where lived during her ​ ​ ​ time shooting “Nashville.” She has since sold the home. Also nearby is the famed Bluebird ​ Cafe where Taylor Swift was reportedly discovered and where every country star under the ​ sun has performed. It’s a great spot for sightings, too, but it’s tough to get in! And lastly, the Green Hills Mall is a hotbed for celebrities as it’s one of the few high-end places to shop ​ ​ in the area. More info at the Hot Spot section below.

8. Tim McGraw & Faith Hill House - 1152 Crater Hill Drive, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Head’s up - there is no view of Tim & Faith’s home - just the gate and driveway at the end of the cul-de-sac. But, the drive up into the neighborhood is nice and fancy!

VR VIP Tip! Once on Hillsboro Pike, keep an eye out on the right for a gated community ​ called BANCROFT. Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler lived there before moving to the home that’s later on the tour.

9. Sheryl Crow House - 6242 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Sheryl also owns the home next door at #6238. You’ll see the driveway & gate here for the main home, but there’s a back entrance too. It’s the first stop on Part 2 of the tour.

NASHVILLE TOUR: Part 2 of 3 ​

OPEN PART 2 IN GOOGLE MAPS

1. Sheryl Crow House (Rear Entrance) - 1 Goldstone Court, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

2. Ronnie Dunn House - 2281 Old Hickory Blvd, Nashville, TN 37215 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

The GPS navigates to a Chickering Road address, but Ronnie’s home is on the left and set pretty far off the road. He has actually listed the home for $7.8M. Note: You’ll need to turn around after Ronnie’s to continue the tour.

VR VIP Tip! NFL star DeMarco Murray owns a home in a gated community nearby. It’s way ​ ​ ​ out of sight, so no reason to drive by, but you can see photos at the link above.

OPTIONAL DETOUR

Now, if you’re interested in a significant detour (1 hour total), you can check out the homes of Brian Kelley of , Thomas Rhett, and Jake Owen’s former home - which is also ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ’s former home. They are all pretty well hidden, but Brian Kelley’s has a really cool fence made of railroad ties. The drive through the country is kinda cool, too. Plus, on the way is Loveless Cafe, the PERFECT spot for a bite to eat. It’s a local hot spot and one of our favs! Full ​ disclosure, there isn't much visibility of the homes.

If you want to take the detour, this Google Maps link will navigate you from Ronnie Dunn’s to all ​ ​ 3 homes on the detour, then back to Miley’s to continue the tour.

3. Miley Cyrus House - 242 Arrowhead Road, Franklin, TN 37069 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Late 2020 Edition © Velvet Ropes, Inc. Page 5 of 10 ​ ​

Miley’s house sits on a LONG driveway, so please DO NOT proceed past the lake with a fountain on the right. The signs that say “private road” means turn around ;)

4. Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Former House - 2032 Old Hillsboro Rd, Franklin, TN ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

The GPS will say 2060 Old Hillsboro Road. Check out the gate to the right.

VR VIP Tip! Puckett's Leiper's Fork is quite the stop. It doesn't look like much, but it’s a ​ ​ ​ legend among locals for live music. The shops in Leiper’s Fork are super cute, too!

5. Kristin Cavallari House - 5005 Lilly Valley Trail, Franklin, TN ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

The street that gets you to their gate is tiny. There is a slight view of their gate, but no view of their home.

6. Wynonna Judd House - 5601 Pinewood Road, Franklin, TN 37064 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

7. Carrie Underwood House - 5595 Pinewood Road, Franklin, TN 37064 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Carrie’s driveway is to the left of Wynonna’s. They completed their 400-acre farm here in 2019, and the gate is rather modest given Carrie’s stature. We have tons of aerial photos at the Velvet Ropes link above!

8. Naomi Judd House - 5720 Garrison Road, Franklin, TN 37064 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

You’ll pass Naomi’s house on the right around the curve. If there’s a cream-colored Cadillac under the carport, that means she’s likely at home!

VR VIP Tip! Another optional detour is to Miranda Lambert’s estate. Not much of a view of ​ ​ ​ the home, but it’s there! Roughly 30 minutes to get there. Note: the link of Miranda’s name takes you to where her driveway is which is why it’s different from the mailing address seen on Velvet Ropes.

9. Tim McGraw & Faith Hill House - 4009 Carters Creek Pike, Franklin, TN ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

The GPS navigates to 3530 Bear Creek Road, and the address on the gate is 1856 Beechwood Hall. You can see one of the homes on the property on the hill in the distance. Tim and Faith have listed the sprawling 753 acre estate for $18.5M.

VR VIP Tip! Jason Aldean sold his sprawling home about 25 minutes South in Jan. 2019. It ​ ​ ​ was on the market for $7.875M - he sold for $7M even. The link of Jason’s name takes you to the driveway is which is why it’s different from the mailing address.

NASHVILLE TOUR: Part 3 of 3 ​

OPEN PART 3 IN GOOGLE MAPS

VR VIP Tip! On your way to Kenny’s, we’re routing you through Franklin. It’s an adorable ​ town and worth a stroll. Puckett’s Franklin is a bit more mainstream. ;) ​ ​

VR VIP Tip! Then, once through Franklin, If you’d like to drive over to ’s house, ​ ​ ​ it’s about 15 minutes East. However, it’s not included in the tour link because the property is double gated and has practically no visibility from the street.

1. Kenny Chesney House - 414 Lake Valley Drive, Franklin, TN 37069 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Take note that although Kenny’s place is in what looks like a gated community, we’ve always been able to drive in. Please be respectful. Drive slowly and don’t linger. Also, there is no view of his home - it’s massive and well hidden, but there are photos at the Velvet Ropes link above.

2. Kenny Chesney House (Rear Entrance) - 3124 Braintree Road, Franklin, TN ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Once again, this is the alternate entrance to Kenny’s, and the gate is gorgeous, but there is no view of the home.

3. Brad Paisley House - 2223 N Berrys Chapel Road, Franklin, TN 37069 ​ ​ ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Brad Paisley lives in a secluded log cabin-style home at the end of Glen Haven Drive. You’ll see it to the left, but please don’t turn down it. The street becomes a private road and there is no place to turn around. See photos, though, at the Velvet Ropes link!

4. Dolly Parton House - 9530 Crockett Road, Brentwood, TN 37027 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Late 2020 Edition © Velvet Ropes, Inc. Page 7 of 10 ​ ​

The GPS navigates to the secondary entrance where you’ll see what is believed to be a guest house. Continue a few hundred feet to see the main house and fancy driveway on the right. You’ll need to turn around once you’ve passed Dolly’s.

5. Hillary Scott-Tyrrell House - 1008 Liberty Church Trail, Brentwood, TN ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

6. Jack White House - 5055 Franklin Pike, Nashville, TN 37220 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

Jack’s house is on the corner with a red brick and iron fence.

7. Martina McBride House - 4409 Franklin Pike, Nashville, TN 37204 ​ OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS • VIEW PICS ON VELVET ROPES ​ ​

VR VIP Tip! If you have the time/energy, Kelly Clarkson has an insanely huge home about ​ ​ ​ 35 minutes North. Reba McEntire’s former home is about 10 minutes from there. The ​ ​ coveted Grand Ole Opry is in the area, too! ​ ​
