‘Tis the season for spotting famous people in Arizona, and 2022 has not disappointed so far.
A number of major events, including the Phoenix Open golf tournament, the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale and Major League Baseball’s spring training season, draw snowbirds and celebrities alike to the Valley every winter. And several actors, singers and social-media influencers have paid a visit recently, with some documenting their travels to millions of Instagram followers.
From Sedona in the north to Tucson down south, here’s where John C. Reilly, Lana Condor, Hayley Kiyoko and other famous people have been seen across Arizona.
