Was it OK for Phoebe Bridgers to destroy her guitar?

Phoebe Bridgers smashing her guitar on Saturday Night Live has become a very controversial topic, with one tweet going viral for saying that musician's guitar smash "seemed extra". Bridgers responded by taking on a lighter note retweeting comedian Caleb Hearon's tweet asking "did phoebe's guitar write this". Jason Isbell said - "that was like an 85 dollar guitar she smashed come on guys". Bridgers responded that guitar manufacturer Danelectro was in on it - "I told danelectro I was going to do it and they wished me luck and told me they’re hard to break". Isbell summoned the story up calling it "a salute to both Rock and Roll and fine craftsmanship".
