Unbelievable : A guitar supposedly signed by Taylor Swift that was sold for $4,000 to a man who immediately smashed it, was apparently not actually signed by the singer…
On September 28, the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner in Waxahachie, Texas held an auction event for charity. Per their website page, the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner describes itself as an organization committed to ‘supporting agricultural and rural education to the youth of Ellis County.’
As part of their charity auction, the organization advertised on their Facebook page that they would be auctioning off a ‘guitar autographed by country music star Taylor Swift.’
However at the event, a man reportedly bid $4,000 on the guitar, only to plough it with a hammer immediately after winning it. Video footage of the guitar’s destruction went absolutely viral online, with one video posted on Twitter earlier this week garnering over 22 million views.
The plot has now thickened however as a source close to Swift’s merchandise company confirmed to HuffPost that the guitar was not signed by the singer and that it was not a certified official guitar used by her.
Moreover, the source added that an actual signed guitar by Swift would come with a certificate of authenticity, which her team reportedly doesn’t believe the auctioned guitar has.
