Texan Who Destroyed $4k “Signed” Taylor Swift Guitar Breaks Silence, Explains Why He Did It

The man who paid $4,000 to buy a Taylor Swift guitar only to smash it into total destruction with a hammer broke his silence. Gary Estes, from Texas, USA, reportedly claimed that the Shake it Off hitmaker didn’t physically sign the instrument herself, although it bears her autograph and includes a certificate of authenticity.

According to Gary, Taylor didn’t sign the actual guitar, but instead, signed a different piece of memorabilia that was affixed to the instrument, TMZ reported on Wednesday (October 2).

A source close to the Grammy Awards winner’s merchandise company reportedly told TMZ that she didn’t sign the guitar.
