Swifties splurge over $1,000 to grab T&T wedding garbage

Taylor Swift fans are paying up to $25 for pieces of trash collected near her wedding to NFL player Travis Kelce, which took place at Madison Square Garden. A New York artist named Justin Gignac gathered the garbage from outside the event venue and is selling individual items, such as cigarette butts and an ovulation test kit, on his website. The items, described as 'sculptures,' are sealed in small plastic cubes and have been snapped up quickly, with Gignac reporting earnings of $1,250 from 50 items sold. Gignac explained that he aims to capture cultural moments in New York City and emphasized that the garbage came from outside the venue, not inside. The event drew significant attention from Swift's fans, many of whom traveled to New York hoping to catch a glimpse of the star-studded celebration, which some called a 'royal wedding.'
