Artist Creates and Sells Memorabilia from Trash Outside Swift-Kelce Wedding VenuePreviousNext

Following Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's July 3 wedding at New York's Madison Square Garden, artist Justin Gignac collected street trash from outside the venue and encased it in acrylic cubes as memorabilia. Items included bottle caps, cigarette butts, a stray AirPod, and other discarded objects. The limited-edition collection, priced between $25 and $100, sold out quickly, highlighting fans' enthusiasm for unique keepsakes from the high-profile event.
