The wire expands as the temperature rises and it becomes less taut.

It depends upon what the wire is made of.
Metals tend to expand when heated, therefore the wire would become slack.
If it is not a metal wire, you would need to know the properties of the material and weather it expands under an increase in temperature.

As the temperature rises the wire is heated. It expands. The length increases. The tension in the wire decreases.The stresses(tensile) in the wire decrease depemding on the extent of expansion.

Wire expands, no longer taut. If it's a guitar string the note goes off.

not knowing what strain is in effect in obtaining the 'tautness 'of the wire, a lesser downward pressure such as gravity or a weight or mechinical force will be needed to deflect the wire once certain a amount of heat is applied to the wire. the greater the heat , the lesser the downward force needed.

metal expands when heated.
the wire goes slack.
