A Texan man smashed a guitar autographed by Taylor Swift at an auction in an act of political rebellion, hoping to show his support for Donald Trump. The video of the incident went viral on social media, with the man spending $4,000 on the guitar before destroying it with a hammer at an event in Waxahachie. The act was met with cheers and laughter from the audience, reflecting the conservative leanings of the area. The event, the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner, raises money for youth agricultural education and featured various auctions and games, including a gun raffle. Trump had previously dismissed Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris but later expressed his dislike for the singer on his Truth Social platform. Swift's endorsement of the Democrat ticket led to a surge in voter registration, with over 400,000 visitors to the government website in 24 hours.
