“At least we don’t need the wall hanger”: Man seemingly spends $4,000 on a guitar signed by Taylor Swift and then immediately destroys it

Taylor Swift guitar smashed.

How much would you pay to demonstrate to the world that you’re not a fan of Taylor Swift? In the case of an auction-goer in the US, the figure would appear to be somewhere in the region of $4,000, the amount the man in question is believed to have paid for an Eras Tour-themed guitar that he purchased and then immediately smashed up.
