Funny like when my grandmother smashed my mom’s Beatles records in the late 60’s because no one needs to listen to that stuff. My younger aunt withdrew into herself after seeing that, not wanting to express joy in anything, not understanding why someone would be that way… granny passed and her kids didn’t shed a tear.
But yeah… go be that monster.
Conservative “boycotts” can be a great source of lulz. For a gang that is against “cancel culture” they sure to love to cancel things, even ineptly.
And Kid Rock still sells Bud Lite at his bar. I suspect he still drinks it. He certainly was doing boycotts wrong by buying several cases of beer to shoot at.
Though if they really wanted it because they thought it was a genuine Taylor Swift guitar, and have now found it isn’t, they haven’t lost out either.
But boycotts are anti-capitalist, so they have to buy the product to prove they aren’t commies. I’d say /s, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that is the actual reason why people keep doing shit like this.
Hey now, those hangnails can be vicious.
$7600 (as of 7:30 AM Eastern) for a smashed guitar with no connection to Taylor Swift besides the fact that somebody glued magazine pictures of her to the top? (Although suspiciously, the listing claims a “certificate of authenticity” now. Does it just say, “I, Texas Man, certify I smooshed this commie guitar up rilll good”?)
…Taylor Swift autographed it
EDITED because I couldn’t be arsed to read the description
…Taylor Swift’s autograph is on it
No, she did not. Even the eBay description admits this:
Per the source of the guitar, the signature was made on an Album cover, but later cut into shape of the pick guard and added to the guitar.
The “Certificate of Authenticity” is at best some kind of documentation that she really did sign the album cover at some point, but just as likely is just a note certifying that it really is the same guitar made famous in the viral video.
Per the OP, no, she didn’t.
Someone owes someone a fizzy drink.
Ms. Swifts’ fanbase trends young; the advertiser friendly 18-26 y.o.
My hope is her influence crushes expectations.
ebay lists a number of guitars with swift’s signature
I have no idea what an authentic piece would look like, but it’s weird that the signature is always on this pick guard that could be cut from an LP sleeve and glued onto a guitar of dubious musicality.
Yup. It’s a guitar with a picture of a signature on it.
But hey, perception is reality. Ceci n’est pas une arnaque, promis!
