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

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.

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."
