Taylor Swift wedding trash sells for $25 a piece

An unusual market has emerged for detritus left outside the recent high-profile wedding of pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce. Fans are reportedly purchasing trash collected from the vicinity of the event, with items like cigarette butts and even ovulation test kits being sold for as much as $25.

Sorry, no requests – just telepathy. Use your crystals, totems, and vision boards to manifest the one you want.

The peculiar enterprise is spearheaded by Justin Gignac, a New York City-based collector who gathers garbage from the streets. He is selling these items online under the moniker "NYC Pocket Garbage: Not Invited Edition (Taylor & Travis' Wedding)". Each piece of trash is encased in a small plastic cube, adorned with the slogan "JUST&T MARRIED" and the wedding date, to prevent leakage or odor.

According to reports, items included in the random assortments were straws, a single AirPod, a Ring Pop, a rainbow fan, cutlery, and warning tape. Gignac stated that customers could not choose their specific item, with assignments made "randomly." He described the items as being collected "as close to Taylor and Travis' big day as you could get without an invitation."

This is Pocket Garbage's debut, so you can wear a piece of your... I mean, their biggest day wherever you go.

Gignac claims to have already earned $1,250 from these unconventional souvenirs, which reportedly sold out within 24 hours of being listed. He views the venture as a way to "commemorate cultural moments in New York City," and saw the wedding as a significant event worthy of a "small time capsule."

Attracts a lot of Swifties who just want some indirect piece of the wedding.

He also noted that the trash was collected from outside the barriers surrounding Madison Square Garden, not from within the venue itself. Gignac, who shares his work on TikTok under the handle @newyorkcitygarbage, humorously recounted that some people mistook him for a wedding guest cleaning up after the party.

I'm trying to commemorate cultural moments in New York City, and this felt like a big event, so I just wanted to capture a small time capsule of that moment.
