Trump supporter who paid $4K to smash Taylor Swift guitar says it was 'just a joke' now raising more for charity

Estes insists that his hammering of the Taylor Swift guitar was simply a light-hearted joke intended to raise money for kids, showing no malice or ill will.

"It was just a joke at an auction that we had to raise money for kids, right? And that's all it was. There was nothing mean about it, nothing bad about it," Estes explained.

Craig Meier, the auctioneer, described the situation as funny and light-hearted, highlighting how the audience reacted positively, with laughter rather than outrage.

The shattered guitar, which garnered attention, is now being auctioned again on eBay, with proceeds aimed to benefit a youth charity.
