The singer-songwriter has performed ‘Kyoto’ and ‘I Know the End’ from her excellent 2020 album Criminal.
At the end of Bridgers’ performance for “I Know the End,” she broke her guitar on a loudspeaker in front of the stage. It was pretty cool.

To country singer-songwriter Jason Isbell weighed in on some of the negative comments about the guitar smashing (“It was like an $ 85 guitar she broke coming on guys”), Bridgers answer that she told the company that made the guitar about her plans to break it in advance.
@JasonIsbell I told danelectro I’m going to do it and they wished me luck and told me they’re hard to break

those who are depressed about the @phoebe_bridgers guitarist OBVIOUS do not know the deep cultural reference she made to the classic Bright Eyes “Road To Joy” guitar mash on the late show

Did you catch the trumpet-broken man in that video? This is instrumentalist Nate Walcott – who also played in Bridgers’ orchestra SNL last night.
