A $40 Life of a Showgirl hairbrush from Taylor Swift’s official merchandise line is the latest item to get absolutely demolished online after a fan posted photos of their broken product. I honestly can’t believe how cheap this thing looks considering the price tag, and it seems like the internet agrees, turning the poorly-made accessory into a viral meme.
The whole thing kicked off when X user @beginagaintv shared images of her damaged brush on October 12, 2025, tweeting, “My showgirl hairbrush came broken… thanks umg.” The post blew up, racking up over 4.2 million views and inspiring a wave of criticism aimed squarely at the pop star’s merch shop and the quality control (or lack thereof) that’s going into these items.
