CMT Music Awards & another phone call

In 2007, Taylor Swift was nominated for Breakthrough Video of the Year for her video "Tim McGraw." The CMT Music Awards are conducted using online voting by the fans. Even in 2007 Taylor knew exactly how to connect with her fans. Each email address was allowed one vote. Wanting to help Taylor in any way I could, I drafted an email to my family and friends asking for their votes. I was able to get 23 extra votes for Taylor. I texted her to let her know about the votes and to wish her good luck. She promptly responded. I had a tennis match that night and I was unable to watch the awards show live. Luckily I had set the DVR and  I was able to watch the awards show. After watching Taylor win her first award, I decided to take a shower.   After my shower, I checked my phone and noticed I had a missed call and a voice mail from Taylor. I remember being so mad that I had missed her call. Looking back though, I think it's pretty cool to have a voice mail from Taylor Swift. I had the sense to save the voice mail and every 21 days the automated lady from Verizon warns me that my message will soon expire. If you are wondering if Taylor is as nice and genuine as she seems, the answer is yes. You can listen to the voice mail below.
