While most of her peers donned caps and gowns to receive their high school diplomas, country star Taylor Swift was strumming a guitar and performing for thousands of fans.
So Taylor Swift got her diploma in the mail.
"Education has always been at the forefront of my priorities, so I'm really glad to have my diploma," the 18-year-old singer-songwriter told The Associated Press on Friday.
Taylor Swift attended public school for 9th and 10th grade. But when her career began heating up, she needed more flexibility and switched to Aaron Academy, a private Christian school that offers home schooling.
"I never expected that my senior year would go the way it has," she said. "There's something really exciting about getting to live your dream and continue your education at the same time."
Swift's self-titled debut album has sold more than 3 million copies and produced hits including "Our Song," "Picture to Burn" and "Teardrops on My Guitar."
Taylor Swift, who is on tour with Rascal Flatts, is expected to release a new album this fall.
Amy Winehouse's husband sentenced to prison term and was ordered to serve about 4 1/2 more months in prison on Monday after he pleaded guilty to attacking a pub owner in 2006 and then trying to cover it up.
Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, sat with three co-defendants before judge David Radford at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London as the sentences were read out.
"I read that you, Blake Fielder-Civil, were affected by drink and cocaine and that in that drunken and drugged state took part in this attack out of a mistaken sense of loyalty to your friend Michael Brown," Radford said.
He added that Fielder-Civil, who married Winehouse in Miami in 2007, "behaved in a gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful way," and sentenced the former video assistant to 27 months in prison, of which he will only have to serve half.
Fielder-Civil's lawyer, Jeremy Dein, explained afterward that the sentence effectively meant his client had another 4 1/2 months to serve, having been behind bars already for about nine months.
Winehouse, 24, was not in court for Monday's proceedings. The Grammy-winning star has referred frequently to Fielder-Civil and the case during recent stage performances.
Brown, 40, who also pleaded guilty to the attack and conspiring to obstruct justice, was sentenced to 33 months in prison, while Anthony Kelly, described in court as the architect of the cover-up attempt, got 20 months.
The fourth defendant, James Kennedy, 20, was handed a suspended sentence.

Andy Dick was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of drug use and sexual battery after the comedian allegedly pulled down a teenager's top, police said.
The former co-star of the TV sitcom "NewsRadio" was released from a detention center after posting $5,000 bail. Calls to his representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned.
Police were called to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta at about 1:13 a.m. to investigate a report of "an intoxicated male" urinating outside the bar and causing a disturbance, according to a police statement.
When they arrived, a 17-year-old girl told police that she was outside when Dick left the bar, walked up, "grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts," the statement said.
Friends escorted Dick to a truck, which officers stopped at a nearby Sam's Club, police said.
Dick was identified by the teenager and a witness, police said.
Marijuana and the drug Xanax were found his pants pockets during a search and he appeared "extremely intoxicated," police said.
Dick, 42, was booked at Southwest Detention Center in French Valley on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Dick has a reputation for crude behavior. He has been reported to have exposed himself to audiences at least twice. He was forcibly removed from the set of the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last year after he repeatedly touched guest Ivanka Trump without her permission.
Also last year, Dick was cited in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating on the sidewalk. A comedy club owner in the city said the actor also made inappropriate comments while onstage, groped patrons, took women into the men's room and urinated on the floor and on at least one person.
In 1999, Andy Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana after driving his car into a telephone pole in Hollywood. He pleaded guilty but the charges were dismissed after he went into a diversion program.

Miss Venezuela wins Miss Universe. Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza was crowned Miss Universe 2008 during the 2008 Miss Universe pageant, hosted by Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown and Jerry Springer, in Nha Trang, Vietnam over the weekend.
Congratulations!!!!
Eighty of the world's most beautiful women have converged on a stretch of the Vietnamese coast better known for war than glamour.
They were preparing for the 57th annual Miss Universe competition, which will be broadcast by NBC to millions of viewers across the globe on Sunday night.
Like her 84 million compatriots, Vietnam's 20-year-old contestant is hoping the show will let the world know about the new Vietnam, where commerce and fashion are thriving and war has become a fading memory.
"I want to introduce my country and my culture and our history to everybody," said Nguyen Thuy Lam, whose traditional costume is a Vietnamese ao dai, a colorful silk pantsuit. "I feel very confident when I wear the ao dai. I wish everyone would wear it and feel confident too."
The contest will be held in Nha Trang, a seaside city located next to a major American airbase during the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975.
Given the history of hostilities between the two nations, Miss USA Crystle Stewart has been impressed by the warmth of her Vietnamese hosts.
"The USA and Vietnam are working together, in cooperation and peace," said Stewart, a Texan who is writing a motivational book. "Hopefully we'll be role models for other countries."
The show will be co-hosted by British pop singer Mel B, known as "Scary Spice" during her days with the Spice Girls. She will be joined by American television personality Jerry Springer, host of "America's Got Talent" and a long-running tabloid talk show that often climaxes with angry guests cussing and brawling with one another.
Springer is clearly enjoying his new Miss Universe job.
"Whoa!" Springer said during an interview with The Associated Press on Saturday, as dozens of contestants strutted across the stage during a rehearsal. "This is a plum assignment."
The 80 contestants have been in Vietnam for nearly four weeks now, receiving intense coverage from the Vietnamese media as they met with local dignitaries, frolicked in their bikinis and participated in various charity events.
They were hard at work Saturday preparing for the show.
Miss Serbia, 21-year-old Bojana Boric, is eager to compete in the swimsuit competition.
"It's a very good feeling," said Boric, who enjoys modeling, cooking and extreme sports. "It's your moment. It's the moment when everyone will see your face, and everyone will remember."
Beauty pageants have been derided by many as exploitative of women, celebrating superficiality over substance. Sweden 2007 contestant dropped out after coming under pressure from pageant critics in her homeland, and the country is not sending a delegate this year.
But beauty contests are extremely popular in Vietnam, which is also hoping to host the 2010 Miss World competition.
After years of war and poverty, the country has been booming economically, and high-end cosmetics and fashion stores have sprouted up in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital, and Ho Chi Minh City, the country's southern business hub.
"It's great to have Miss Universe competition here in Vietnam," said 18-year-old high school student Nguyen Thi Kieu My. "It will help to promote Vietnam's image in the world and bring in more tourists." Stay tune for the latest Miss Universe 2008 Update.
Justin Long and Drew Barrymore have ended their romance, the actor's publicist said Tuesday.
"I just wanted to confirm that, yes, they did break up," Carrie Gordon told The Associated Press in a phone interview, adding that the couple remain friends. Gordon didn't give further details.
Barrymore, 33, and Long, 30, co-star in the movie adaptation of the self-help best-seller "He's Just Not That Into You," slated for release next February.
The split comes as a surprise, given their public displays of affection since they began dating last year.
Long's big-screen credits include "Accepted" and "Dodgeball," and he's also the "Mac guy" in Apple's TV commercials. Barrymore's screen credits include "Fever Pitch," "50 First Dates" and "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial."
The lanky actor seemed smitten with the actress-producer, escorting her to red-carpet events including Madonna and Gucci's "A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF" party in New York City in February.
He was in the audience during Barrymore's recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show. Beaming, Long gushed: "She's the most compassionate person I've ever met."
"This relationship is great," Barrymore told Winfrey. "It's healthy, it's productive, and it's supportive. It's full of humor and a lot of fun."
Will Smith, the closest thing to a sure bet in Hollywood these days, flew to the top of the worldwide box office with his critically mauled superhero saga "Hancock," distributor Columbia Pictures said on Sunday
The comedy-drama, in which Smith plays a drunken crime-fighter with an image problem, sold an estimated $185 million worth of tickets, the Sony Corp-owned studio said.
Moviegoers in the United States and Canada contributed $107.3 million in the six days since the film opened on Tuesday evening, and the film racked up an additional $78 million in 50 territories. Columbia said the film opened at No. 1 in 47 of those 50 markets, including Britain, Germany, Australia, Brazil and South Korea.
The North American tally includes sales of $66 million for the U.S. Independence Day holiday weekend, beginning Friday. "Hancock" ranks as Smith's eighth consecutive chart-topper, and his 12th overall, Columbia said.
"Audiences love Will Smith and the characters he plays," said Rory Bruer, Columbia's president of domestic theatrical distribution. "People want to share in the things he's doing."
CRITICS VEXED
Smith, 39, a one-time rapper famed for his gung-ho performances, ventures into darker territory with "Hancock." His slovenly character's messy crime-busting efforts cause more problems than they solve, and he enlists a public-relations man, played by Jason Bateman, to help restore his reputation among the displeased citizenry of Los Angeles.
Critics were intrigued by the basic premise, but were vexed by a dramatic sub-plot involving Charlize Theron, who plays Bateman's wife. Peter Berg ("The Kingdom") directed the $150 million film, which was notably brief at just over 90 minutes.
Smith has ruled the July 4 holiday weekend five times, beginning with 1996's "Independence Day," the biggest movie of his career. Adjusted for ticket-price inflation, the "Hancock" opening ranks at No. 3 among those offerings, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo.
Last weekend's champion, Walt Disney Co's robot love story "WALL-E," slipped to No. 2 with $33.4 million for the three-day period, taking its 10-day total to $128.1 million.
The Angelina Jolie thriller "Wanted" fell one place to No. 3 with $20.6 million, also in its second weekend. Its 10-day total rose to $90.8 million. The violent comic book adaptation was released by Universal Pictures, a unit of General Electric Co's NBC Universal.
The only other debut in the top 10 was "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," which jumped 15 places to No. 8 with a modest $3.6 million after two weekends of limited release. The kid-friendly film, based on the wholesome American Girl doll-and-book series, coincidentally features Smith's 7-year-old daughter, Willow.
"Kit Kittredge" was distributed by art-house studio Picturehouse, which parent company Time Warner Inc will shut down in the fall to cut costs.
Despite the "Hancock" boost, overall ticket sales ended a five-weekend winning streak, according to tracking firm Media By Numbers. The top 12 films grossed $158.7 million for the three days, down 4 percent from the year-ago period. Year-to-date sales are flat, while the number of tickets sold is down 3 percent, Media By Numbers said.
