The incident ignited debates on several platforms from fans offended at what they perceived as a slight against their idol, as a Swiftie wrote: “Does he not realize that he still spent $4K on that guitar!?

Footage of Gary smashing the pop star’s guitar went viral after being released on August 30
The viral video showed Gary approaching the stage to receive the instrument before the crowd cheered him on as the host invited him to smash it on the floor like a 1980s rockstar.
Gary subsequently decided to just start poking holes in the body of the guitar with a hammer repeatedly, which was adorned in a pink motif and what appeared to be a photo of the Taylor at the bottom.
Bored Panda has contacted Taylor’s representatives for comment.
