Country Star Taylor Swift Gets Her High School Diploma

If country music sensation Taylor Swift would have attended high school this year, she probably would have been voted Most Likely to Succeed. Instead, Swift has home schooled the past two years and is currently on tour with Rascal Flatts.

She has just received her high school diploma, however, and has taken to her blog to talk about the joys of being a high school graduate.

"Another thing I'm excited about is that I've officially graduated from high school!! CLASS OF 2008. YESSSSSSS. Even if I've been home schooled for the past 2 years, it still means a lot to me that I have my diploma."

Swift attended public school before her singing career took off, then made the transition to Aaron Academy, a private Christian school that offers home schooling.

According to E! Online, last week Swift became the first artist since LeAnn Rimes in 1997 to hold the two top positions on the Top Country Albums chart, with her new Wal-Mart-exclusive EP release, Beautiful Eyes, at No. 1 and her triple-platinum, self-titled debut album at No. 2.

"I'm having the most amazing week! Thanks to you guys, I've got the 1 AND 2 country album this week," she writes. "Thank you to everybody who went out to Wal-Mart this week and bought Beautiful Eyes. I'm so thankful for you. Wow. It's pretty unbelievable."
