First-time voter Taylor Swift waited in line for an hour and a half to cast her ballot on the last day of the early voting period in Sumner County, Tenn., last Thursday.

"I wasn't going to be able to vote on Nov. 4 because I'm going to be in L.A.," the 18-year-old star told People.com.

The queue "wrapped around the building," she said. Still, the experience was "worth the wait" and made her feel "so completely American."

"I feel like I really accomplished something special," said Taylor, who passed the time signing autographs. "You're like, 'Wow, there's going to be a long line, there's going to be a lot of effort involved,' but afterwards you feel so good."

Taylor continued: "I've never, ever seen in any election the passion about voting before in people my age. Everyone I know is obsessed with their opportunity to vote. I see people getting involved and there is something really, really beautiful about that."

So who'd she vote for: McCain or Obama? Taylor replied that she "can't share" that information, but said "I went with my gut instinct."

I've liked Taylor Swift from Day One (thanks to my friend Chris!). She's a true talent -- and the fact that she stood in line for 90 minutes says she's a regular citizen who cares about the country that her generation stands to inherit. Good for you, Taylor!
