Swifties breathe a sigh of relief

Relieving news for Taylor Swift fans.

The Taylor Swift guitar that a man smashed at an auction was not signed by the singer.

A slightly older man paid a whopping $4,000 (3,600 euros) for the instrument and then smashed it to smithereens with a hammer. Videos of this rather strange event went viral on social media.

At first it was thought that the acoustic guitar in question was even signed by the American superstar herself, but that now turns out not to have been the case after all. The guitar was never used by the singer and therefore not signed, a source close to the singer tells entertainment website 'Variety'. However, the man did receive an autographed CD as a gift with the purchase.

The vandalism allegedly had to do with Swift recently expressing her support for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
