“Man Obliterates Autographed Taylor Swift Guitar from Charity Auction—The Insane Reason Behind This Shocking Move!”

A Texas man is going viral after buying an autographed Taylor Swift guitar at a charity auction for thousands of dollars and beating it with a hammer.

In a video posted to TikTok, one of the men assisting with the auction in Waxahachie, Texas, waves a hammer around in one hand and holds a signed six-string guitar emblazoned with images of Taylor Swift.

“I saw the guy helping the auction grab a hammer and I thought, I gotta get this on video,” JD Cobb, who posted the TikTok video and attended the event, told USA TODAY. “I thought it was a joke at first.”

The winning bidder, who Cobb says paid $3,200 for the guitar, nabs the instrument with one hand and beats it with the hammer 17 times. Crowd members are heard cheering in the background as the man smiles and gestures like he’s going to smash the guitar over his head but stops before hitting the ground.

“Guess we don’t need the wall hanger,” the auctioneer jokes before saying, “Hey, Gary, now take that and hang up that busted thing.”

Craig Meier, a spokesperson for the dinner, confirmed the incident to USA TODAY. He said the guitar was signed and came with a certificate of authenticity.
