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

The weird get weirder. He apparently spent $4000 to smash a guitar that was next to a signature.

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.

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.

He better burn his nikes so he doesn’t look like a complete fool!

So he took enough money to put it down payment on a used car, used it to buy a counterfeit autographed guitar, and then smashed it because he didn't like who it was allegedly signed by, which it wasn't.

This is wasting money to buy something simply to destroy it at a whole new level. Bravo dipshit, bravo.

Well that's something at least. It doesn't make him any smarter though.

Conservatives will stab themselves in the gut to own the libs who are, in reality, laughing at them for doing it.

Taylor needs to start selling autographed guitars and donating the proceeds to the campaign.

Hell, she has the resources to set up a shell company to be a Republican front that offers them access to the guitars.

This is the Bud Light "protests" all over again.

Well did he smash the CD insert? He should do that. That would definitely make the whole thing worthwhile.

I would put it past him to try smashing a piece of paper with a hammer or a rock.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Get serious. Everyone knows paper beats rock

Most normal Republican

Not weird at all!

lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

So where is the signed insert? I’ll be $2 that he hung onto that but I choose to believe a swifty lifted it out the trash

Setting your dignity and paycheck on fire to own the libs

If I were Taylor I'd send him an actual signed guitar. Heck, why not a dozen?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No no no. You’re thinking too small, the guy already proved he’ll smash up one guitar so he’d just smash the dozen and get more exposure. If you’re Taylor Swift, you pack like 50 conex boxes to the fucking brim with guitars, then pay for them to all be shipped to and unloaded in this guys front yard. Overwhelm him, drown him in guitars. Make it so that even just throwing them away is a problem.
