The singer-songwriter sang “Kyoto” and “I Know the End” from her excellent 2020 album Punisher.
At the end of Bridgers’ performance for “I Know the End,” she hit her guitar on a speaker in front of the stage. It was pretty cool.

To country singer-songwriter Jason Isbell weighed to some of the negative comments about the guitar playing (“That was like a $ 85 guitar she smashed, come on guys”), Bridgers replied that she had told the company that made the guitar about her plans to destroy it beforehand.
@JasonIsbell I told Danelectro I was going to do it and they wished me luck and told me they are hard to break

those who care about the @phoebe_bridgers guitar smash CLEARLY don’t know the deep cultural reference she made to the classic Bright Eyes “Road To Joy” guitar smash on the late show

Did you see the trumpet-playing man in that video? That’s instrumentalist Nate Walcott – who also played in Bridgers’ band SNL last night.
