ABC News confirmed that she was allowed to arrive an hour late to not cause a distraction, and was escorted to a private room to meet with the county clerk.

“We’re delighted she showed up,” court spokesman David Bookstaver told ABC News. “It goes to show that if you get a summons you have to serve. Her showing up says that jury duty is a civic responsibility and it’s not as onerous as it was 15 to 20 years ago.”

Madonna posted a photo of the doorknob of the county courthouse on Instagram, and added the caption, “Serving my country! Reporting to jury selection! #itshotinhere.”
