As videos of the smash-fest spread online, social media users had a lot to say. Some fans speculated that the man’s actions were politically driven.

“A grown man paid $4,000 to destroy a guitar in protest of Swift’s politics. That’s just sad,” one Twitter user noted.

Swift’s venture into political endorsements is a fairly recent phenomenon.

She made headlines in 2018 when she publicly endorsed Democratic candidates in her home state of Tennessee, shocking some of her more conservative fans.

More recently, her support for Kamala Harris during the 2020 presidential election further alienated some followers, pushing Swift into the political spotlight.

These endorsements were seen as part of Swift’s evolution from a country singer to a powerful voice in the political realm.

It’s possible the man’s bizarre decision to destroy the guitar was linked to his frustration over her political stance. But one thing is for sure—it’s not helping his wallet.

But perhaps the biggest bombshell came from Swift’s fans, who were quick to point out that the guitar didn’t even look like one of her signed items.

“It had the wrong Era’s Tour logo! How could anyone fall for this?” one Swiftie tweeted, adding, “I’m crying from laughter.”
