A mystery buyer is making waves online after purchasing a signed Taylor Swift guitar for $4,000 at a Texas charity auction—only 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 “once in a lifetime opportunity” by event organisers.
The auction, which also featured items like a “trained Labrador hunting partner” and an “exotic ram hunt,” aimed to raise funds for agricultural and rural education for the county’s youth.
The reason behind the man’s decision to destroy the guitar remains unclear, but speculation quickly spread on social media, with some tying the act to political motivations, following Swift’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris, which may have provoked the mystery buyer, potentially a Donald Trump supporter, given the former president’s dislike for the pop star.
