Discarded items from outside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recent wedding ceremony are being sold for $25 each by a New York-based artist, with fans eager to acquire a unique memento of the highly publicized event.
New York City Garbage, an artist named Justin Gignac, has collected and encased items such as cigarette butts, bottle caps, and ring pop candy in small plastic cubes. These "time capsules" from the wedding, which took place at Madison Square Garden, are being marketed online with the slogan "JUST&T MARRIED" and the date of the wedding.
Gignac stated that he aims to commemorate significant cultural moments in New York City. "This seemed to be a big one, so just capturing a little time capsule from that moment in time," he said.
The artist has already generated approximately $1,250 from the sale of these items. All the collected trash was found outside the barriers surrounding Madison Square Garden, not from within the venue itself. Gignac indicated that he is considering releasing more items to the market following the initial success of this collection.
Swift and Kelce's wedding was a star-studded affair, reportedly attended by over 1,000 guests. The interior of Madison Square Garden was transformed for the ceremony, with elements like fake trees and elegant drapes. The exterior of the venue was illuminated in pink, and giant screens displayed "JUST&T MARRIED!" to mark the occasion.
