'Bad Blood': Man pays over Rs 3L to buy guitar autographed by Taylor Swift, only to destroy it

Swifties across the world must be fuming after a video of a man smashing a guitar signed by Taylor Swift, that he reportedly bought for $4,000 (Rs 3,35,931.40) went viral on social media.

In the video that was shared on September 30, the man can be seen walking up to the stage and claiming the guitar, soon after which he starts to knock it down with a hammer.

As the man continues to giggle and break the guitar into shreds, he is interrupted by the host who takes away the hammer from his hand.

While the exact reason behind this Bad Blood has not been ascertained yet, netizens suspect this to be a reaction to Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris for US President.

"A grown man paying $4000 to destroy a guitar, to impress Trump is next level pathetic," a user wrote while another said: "People like this live to hate. Trump brought these people out in the open. Who wants to see MAGA morons like this disappear from our society. This kind of hate needs to stop. The people who celebrate hate are sick!"

Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris minutes after Harris and former President Donald Trump stepped off the debate stage in Philadelphia.

“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight,” Swift wrote on Instagram to her 283 million followers. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”

Meanwhile, several fans have slammed the man for wasting his money on causing damage.

"And Taylor Swift fans are laughing at him. Hopefully his $4000 will go to the Harris/Walz 2024 campaign," a user commented.

However, the singer-songwriter is yet to comment on the video.
