Taylor-Swift Although the 2008 presidential election was 11 months awa.y at the time, registering to vote was the top priority for Taylor Swift when she turned 18 last December.  "The first thing I did this year on my 18th birthday was register to vote," Swift said in an interview with Redbook. "I was still in my pajamas, and I got on my computer and registered.  "It was so cool and empowering. I felt this responsibility that I've never felt before – I actually had a say in the political discussions of my country."
