Man spends £3,200 on Taylor Swift guitar only to smash it
Man buys Taylor Swift guitar at auction, promptly destroys it
A Texas man purchased a guitar supposedly signed by Taylor Swift, but he wasn’t a Swift fan. His swift destruction of the instrument with a hammer proved that.
The incident occurred on Saturday, 28 September, during the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner in Waxahachie, Texas. The organisation, dedicated to supporting agricultural and rural education for Ellis County’s youth, hosts events to raise funds for scholarships and project grants.
During the event, an auction featured a guitar advertised as autographed by Taylor Swift. Donated by a group called ‘WGB Sponsors,’ the guitar attracted attention for its decoration with images from Swift’s Eras Tour.
A man bid $3,200 for the guitar, a dream purchase for many Swift fans. However, instead of cherishing it, he took a hammer and smashed the guitar on the spot.
The viral video has some people speculating the man’s actions are political, due to Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Social media reactions are mixed, with some calling it ‘money well spent’ while others are criticising its wastefulness.
One Twitter user remarked, “It doesn’t affect Taylor Swift, and he just lost $4,000.” Another noted, “Imagine spending $4k on a guitar when there’s an emergency on the east coast. That money could have helped many people.”
