Not a day goes by when celebrities do not daydream of having a fandom like Taylor Swift’s and understandably so. Sure, most fan bases will ride or die for their role model, but the Swift squad has a whole other vibe. Whether they are pushing her latest bop to the top of the charts or preaching the gospel of the Taylor Swift effect, they are always going the extra mile. And when a grumpy old man tries to go off the rails—say, by smashing a $4,000 guitar? Swifties swoop in, bringing all the good vibes and even better ideas to save the day!

A TikTok video that has been doing the rounds of the Internet for quite a few hours shows a Texas man reportedly dropping a cool $4,000 on an autographed Taylor Swift guitar at a charity auction only to take a hammer to it right after. In a road rage, but for a guitar moment, this old man completely obliterated the pop queen’s instrument at the Ellis County WildGame Dinner in Waxahachie, just outside Dallas. 

The anonymous man was all smiles as he sauntered up to the stage, hammer in hand, ready to take that guitar’s final bow! However, it was accompanied by loud cheers from the crowd, like it was the grand finale of a rock concert. The video captures the whole chaotic spectacle from start to finish, but the kicker is, it does not reveal what set him off or why he shelled out a whopping $4,000 just to smash.

Since Taylor Swift fans are pros at flipping hate into love, famous for giving Donald Trump a run for his money, this grumpy old man was no match and Swifties wasted no time schooling him.

Taylor Swift belongs to that rare league of stars where her star power can either create followers full of love or hate, and there is no middle ground. But for someone to let their hate run so wild that they would drop serious cash just to destroy something signed by her? That is a whole new level of extra. Luckily, her fans, masters of the patience game, had only one response: a bunch of creative suggestions for better ways to spend that money.

Some fans were scratching their heads, wondering what the guitar smashing was supposed to mean, while others pointed out it definitely was not winning any Best Financial Move of the Year awards. 

Plenty of Swifties suggested he could have just jogged down the block to a hospital and donated it to brighten someone’s day instead. Fans could not help but laugh at how this rage show was more embarrassing for the guy than anyone else—especially Swift, who probably had no clue that her autograph would meet such a fate. But true to form, Swifties did not respond with fury; instead, they handed him a whole playbook of better ways to spend his money.
