A mystery buyer is making waves online after purchasing a signed Taylor Swift guitar for $4,000 at a Texas charity auctionโonly to smash it with a hammer moments later.
The incident occurred at the Ellis County WildGame Dinner in Waxahachie, just outside of Dallas, where footage captured the white-haired man grinning as he took the stage, hammer in hand. With the crowd cheering, he repeatedly smashed the guitar, which had been promoted as a โonce in a lifetime opportunityโ by event organisers.
The auction, which also featured items like a โtrained Labrador hunting partnerโ and an โexotic ram hunt,โ aimed to raise funds for agricultural and rural education for the countyโs youth.
The reason behind the manโs decision to destroy the guitar remains unclear, but speculation quickly spread on social media, with some tying the act to political motivations, following Swiftโs recent endorsement of Kamala Harris, which may have provoked the mystery buyer, potentially a Donald Trump supporter, given the former presidentโs dislike for the pop star.
