UPDATE: Apparently the guitar was not signed (or certified) by Taylor Swift afterall. 🤣
The money never made it to her, he spent the $4,000 on a charity dinner. The proceeds for the dinner went to the Future Farmers of America, to teach kids about agriculture and keep us fed in the future.
In my opinion he can be as weird as he wants with the guitar, he dropped big money on a good cause. He has money to give, and he gave it.
With the fuckery that goes on with charities, I have serious doubts that that money is going towards any kind of good cause.
“100% of the money raised goes directly to local youth and agricultural education programs.”
Farming in small areas like this is a big, and SUPER underfunded industry that is the backbone of a country as big as America. It keeps food costs low, and is a fundamental basis of the economy that gets overlooked.
These are local farmers in rural Texas acting like farmer hicks. Not slimeball business people scamming money from the poor in the name of mega charities like Autism Speaks, or the National Breast Cancer foundation.
A million reasons to be upset with conservatives, this is not one of them. Touch grass.
I just hope both Taylor Swift and whoever got that $4000 learned a valuable lesson in all of this.
The $4,000 was towards a charity. “The proceeds for the dinner went to the Future Farmers of America”, to teach kids about agriculture and keep us fed in the future.
Well I sure hope those kids learned their lesson. To the tune of a $4000 donation.
This is just sad. He could have given it to a kid on a cancer ward who loves Taylor Swift. He probably has grandkids who love her music, they could have had it. He surely has kids in his neighbourhood who love her music, could have donated it to a youth music group or something. But this is what he chooses to do with it. To impress a man who still doesn’t know how to apply foundation after 50+ years of using it, apparently just rolling his face across a tableful of it each morning like he’s fingerprinting his head.
If Trump doesn’t even so much as ‘truth’ about this, I think this silly fuck is gonna feel genuine grief. He’s probably expecting a phone call, or even a meeting & photo op next time Trump’s in town. “I spent 4 grand to do this, surely he’ll notice me!”
Sad, sad, sad.
It’s virtue signaling but don’t tell them that or they’ll lose their minds.
If he has kids or grandkids, chances are they already hate him.
Ok, we’re going to grandpa’s. Leave your tablets & phones in the car. Don’t talk about music, church, politics, school, rainbows, libraries, pronouns, anyone gay or trans, tv shows, or really anything. See if Grandma can turn on an old Disney movie, any that came out before you were born, and we’ll leave right after lunch.
If I throw my money away to simp on a e-girl I’ll see some boob. Donny wouldn’t even give dumdum over there the time of day.
Good job with the messaging there, Banksy.
Well he convinced me!
I not going to vote for Taylor Swift for President.
Lots of money to make one look silly.
What was the charity?
High school seniors looking for scholarships into Agricultural programs
One less signed guitar, makes the others more valuable right? 🤔🤣
Like that movie with Jet Li!
The One! Best nü metal infused sci-fi martial arts flick ever made. Remember when he picked up a police motorcycle in each hand and used them as clubs? That was pretty sweet.
That movie was the first time I heard Disturbed’s Let the Bodies Hit the Floor. I think it stuck in my head because The One scratched the same action scene itch that the Matrix did.
Was it Disturbed? I really thought that was Drowning Pool
You’re probably right
It was going to drive me nuts so I looked it up lol. Disturbed was on the soundtrack with “Down With the Sickness”. And “Bodies” by Drowning Pool was on there too
Drowning Pool, not Disturbed
Maybe this guy is like the Taylor Swift guitar Highlander. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE TAYLOR SWIFT GUITAR!
That is a really good point haha.
How can he smash?
I mean, it’s both funny and very benign, no complaints from me and apparently Taylor swift.
I mean, he paid for it and its his to what he wants with it.
If you think it was worth more than that, should have brought it yourself
He’s welcome to smash almost anything I own for $500 apiece.
Id smash…
should require a license to handle your own money. minimum intelligence measurement at least
Oh not at all… he still gave his money to the same charity as someone who would have loved and cherished the guitar, all he’s accomplished is making himself $4000 poorer and being publicly known as a weirdo.
It reminds me of the weirdoes buying wine to splill it down the drain when France had the audacity of telling the truth in the un during the whole Irak mess. Of course the wine makers and sellers were fine with that.

In fairness, a bud light can being ripped apart by a .22 hollow point is a pretty awesome sight. And what else is canned horse piss good for?
at least go Boston tea party and steal it
I’d do this to a conservative celebrity, but for $4000 I could buy Kevin Sorbo’s whole sad fucking life.
You know the difference between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?
A fishing lure gets cast.
What a fucking weirdo for smashing a guitar with a hammer
Ahh, how shall I do it? Oh, I know!
I’ll have Taylor Swift sign a guitar, a harmless little guitar! And then, I’ll put that guitar in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, then I’ll auction that box to myself and when I win it…
AHAHA! I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!
It’s brilliant brilliant brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
Or, to save on postage, I could poison myself WITH THIS!"
Jeff Jarret is somewhere shaking his head
I just saw Jeff Jarret fail to his knees in a piggly wiggly
I thought Republicans had angry down. This guy can’t even do angry right.
Without a doubt the dorkiest way to smash a guitar.
He looks old enough to remember them bands from the 60s and 70s, now THEY knew how to smash a guitar (it has been too long and I am not looking up which band(s) did it hehe)
The Who
Yes, who was the band?
No, I don’t think The Band was ever known for smashing instruments.
Yes, who was the band known for smashing instruments?
I don’t think Yes was either…
THANK YOU!
I can’t think of a less rock and roll way to destroy a guitar.
Knife and fork
See at first I was with you but then again these things work in cycles. I think by the time you get to knife and fork it turns into art again.
Yeah, if you just smash it, it’s about the smashing, when you use a tool, the focus shifts to the tool, and a regular shop hammer is just… bland in a way a knife and fork aren’t.
Depends. Do they eat it?
Spork
Okay, you have a point, but still… if you’re going to smash a guitar and you don’t go all The Who on it, what’s even the point?
Boomerang was just shut down this week. RIP
That only works with acoustics. Electrics don’t go KABONG!
A smaller hammer
True.
So I watched the video and watched as the guy was handed the hammer with the guitar. Was the auction a chance to destroy the guitar or just the guitar? Cause it looks like the former and the media is just reporting what will piss people off.
I tried to “fix” the misleading headlines with my title as most sites make it sound like it was Taylor Swift’s own guitar that she signed. Sensational and highly inaccurate is what 99% of current media does now. Gotta get those clicks.
True. I saw this story twice this morning before seeing your post, and both claimed he bought Swift’s guitar.
What a waste, children in Africa could have eaten that guitar.
The hammer is still fine
Probably the second reason he destroyed it.
