Are you ready for a wild twist to the already wild story about the man paying $4,000 to destroy a guitar that was signed by Taylor Swift?
In case you missed what’s going on, a recent viral incident involving a Texas man smashing a guitar he believed was signed by Taylor Swift has taken an unexpected twist.
A source close to Swift’s merchandise company revealed that the guitar wasn’t authentic, contradicting claims that it was signed by the pop star.
The man, who paid $4,000 for the guitar at the Ellis County WildGame Dinner, made headlines after immediately smashing it with a hammer in what many believed to be a political statement.
lol, what a tool
However, a representative close to Swift’s team stated that an authentic Swift-signed guitar would come with a certificate of authenticity, which this guitar lacked.
But here’s the kicker, Swift never signed it.
Ah, it’s so sweet, isn’t it!
The event organizers had previously stated they had a certificate for the item, but questions linger about its legitimacy.
Social media users, meanwhile, were quick to mock the incident, with some fans noticing discrepancies in the guitar’s design, particularly its incorrect Eras Tour logo and font.
While the act was initially framed as a bold statement, it now appears the man destroyed a fake guitar, further fueling the online ridicule.
Despite the controversy, the auction proceeds were still intended to support local youth agricultural education programs.
