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 guitar’s destruction has been viewed more than 22 million times since it was shared on Sunday evening. (Watch below.)
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.
