Viral News: A recent video from Ellis, Texas, has stunned the internet.

A man, reportedly from Ellis County, Texas, bought a Taylor Swift-autographed guitar at an auction for $4,000 (Rs 3,35,215), only to smash it with a hammer shortly afterward.

The incident allegedly took place in Dallas, Texas, at the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner, a non-profit event supporting agricultural education for local youth.

According to reports, the guitar, which came with a certificate of authenticity, was donated to the auction by a third party.

The video of the white-haired man grabbing the guitar and destroying it by hitting it with a hammer repeatedly has surfaced on social media.

Some speculate that the man smashed the guitar as a protest against Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election on November 5. However, the buyer's true motives remain unclear.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

The man’s unusual act has garnered significant attention online. While some applaud his audacity, others condemn his actions as reckless.

“A grown man paying $4,000 to destroy a guitar to impress Trump is next-level pathetic!” one user remarked.

Another wrote, “Taylor Swift is worth $1 billion. This doesn’t affect her. He just set $4,000 on fire. He must be struggling in this economy.”

Meanwhile, some Trump supporters expressed their approval. “What a wild move! That’s some serious commitment to a joke—definitely not how most would handle a prized possession!”

One user even called him their "spirit animal!"

Finally, a comment read, "That $4,000 could have bought lunch for four people at McDonald’s, as any Trump supporter with an advanced math degree will tell you."
