The ‘Taylor Swift’ Guitar Smashed by Man After Paying $4,000 for It Was Not Autographed by Singer

A man who for some reason smashed up a guitar with a hammer in Texas may have thought it had been signed by Taylor Swift — but it was not, in fact, an official Swift-certified guitar.

In a video that has gone viral, the unidentified man is seen taking a small hammer to the guitar, after he allegedly bought it at a charity auction for $4,000. A post on X with the clip showing the act of vandalism has been viewed more than 22 million times since it was shared on Sunday evening.

But contrary to media reports, the guitar the man destroyed had not been signed by Swift — and was not a certified official guitar used by the singer, a source close to her merch company confirmed to Variety. The organization that held the auction, the Ellis County WildGame Dinner, presented the guitar with a signed CD insert but the guitar itself was not signed.

In the video, a white-haired man shuffles up to grab the guitar and smashes it with a hammer, to the cheers of the assembled crowd. After chuckling and saying something to the emcee that is not audible in the clip, he then raises the instrument as if he’s going to smash it on the ground before he walks back to his seat. The auction was held in Waxahachie, Texas, on Saturday, Sept. 28. The nonprofit the Ellis County WildGame Dinner says the event benefits “agricultural education for local youth.”

Another idiot with more dollars than sense.

1. Is that some kind of new way of being conservative?

2. I think it was staged. The "winner" got the guitar and hatchet at the same time.

And probably got a bogus Swift guitar to smash up. Another stupid reaction to what, exactly?

3. They say a fool and his money are soon parted.

A fool and his money are lucky to get together in the first place…

4. Ask him to donate money to the hurricane recovery.

Bet he wouldn’t

5. That's not even the proper way...

...to destroy a guitar. He's old enough to have seen The Who perform.
