Have you heard that Nashville has been called the new L.A.? Did you know that Nashville currently has more recording studios than NYC and LA combined? That makes sense considering Nashville is known as Music City. All of that music making has Nashville buzzing with celebrities! Nashville stars also love their pets! As I gear up for BlogPaws 2015, I’m wondering if I’ll bump into any celebrities?! From what I’ve heard, it’s not uncommon to run into a celebrity walking their dog around the streets of Nashville. It’s an incredibly dog friendly city with sophistication, charm, and that down-home feel . . .quite the opposite of L.A.!
I wonder if these pet loving celebs know that 500+ pet bloggers, social media influencers, and pets of all kind are making their way to Nashville for three days during the 7th annual BlogPaws conference? I’d like to think that they do but chances are they might have been a bit busy and haven’t quite heard about us yet. I say we let them know we are coming to town! I’ve put together a list of a few “irresistible” Nashville celebrities that love their pets. I’ve also included their Twitter and Instagram handles. Go ahead and give them a shout and let them know you’ll be in Music City for BlogPaws 2015!

I love Miranda Lambert so much! I recently watched a YouTube video of her setting up the rescue in her hometown, and she got tears in her eyes talking about rescue…She seems so real and down-to-earth! Thanks for sharing this list; it would be amazing to run into a celebrity in Nashville. Here’s hoping! 🙂
Irresistible Pets says
She is so awesome! She is one of the few “real” celebs out there! I would love to see her or Blake in Nashville!
Megan Spindler says
It’s so great to see so many celebrity pet lovers! I don’t know about anyone else, but I always trust people who have pets so much more than people who don’t. They really convey a sense of responsibility and trust that you don’t always see in prominent public figures.
Have fun in Nashville!

The last time I was in Nashville I got to meet Miranda Lambert while she was filming a commercial at the Nashville Humane Society.
I think Davinia and Indiana would love to have their picture taken with Hayden Panettiere when we are in Nashville. Maybe she will drop by the conference to say hello?!
Irresistible Pets says
That is so awesome! Hayden definitely needs to make an appearance!
