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 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 said Friday.

Swift attended public school for ninth and 10th grades. 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."

Emmy's 5 Hosts To Give Show A Dose Of Reality

The reality is, there won't be an Emmy host this year - there will be five.

The reality-TV hosts nominated in the new category that honors their work will preside over the show, ABC and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences told The Associated Press on Friday.

They are: Tom Bergeron of "Dancing With the Stars"; Ryan Seacrest of "American Idol"; Howie Mandel of "Deal or No Deal"; Heidi Klum of "Project Runway;" and Jeff Probst of "Survivor."

"It just seemed like a perfect way to stay current with the state of television today," said Ken Ehrlich, executive producer of the Sept. 21 Emmy broadcast on ABC.
