Texas Man Smashes Taylor Swift Guitar at Auction, Claims It Was a Joke

Gary Estes destroyed a $4,000 guitar allegedly signed by Taylor Swift, sparking controversy and political speculation.

Gary Estes, a Trump supporter, smashed a Taylor Swift-themed guitar at a Texas charity auction, claiming it was a lighthearted joke.
The guitar, initially thought to be signed by Swift, was later revealed not to have been autographed by her or be an official merchandise item.
Estes stated his actions were not malicious and were meant to raise funds for local youth agricultural education programs.
The smashed guitar is now being auctioned on eBay, with proceeds intended for charity, and bids have surpassed the original purchase price.
The incident followed Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, leading some to interpret the act as a political statement against Swift's involvement in politics.
