Taylor Swift Fans Pay $25 for Trash Collected Outside Her Wedding

The craziest thing just happened in New York City. Taylor Swift fans are buying trash from outside her wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce for $25 a piece. Yes, you read that right. They're paying actual money for pieces of garbage collected from the streets outside Madison Square Garden where the wedding took place.

Justin Gignac, a New York artist, is selling the items on his website New York City Garbage. He picked them up from the city streets last Friday, and they were all sold within 24 hours of going on sale. The items include water bottle caps, ring pop candy, police caution tape, straws, utensils, and even a single left AirPod.

Each item is sealed inside a tiny plastic cube to avoid leaking or smells. Gignac told AFP he has made $1,250 from selling 50 items so far and may put more on the market. He said he tries to commemorate cultural moments in New York City, and this seemed like a big one.

The lavish ceremony last week was closely watched by Swift's fans, who have followed the 14-time Grammy winner's love life largely through songs based on her relationships. Some followers descended on New York in hopes of catching a glimpse of their idol, with the star-studded event that some commentators dubbed a 'royal wedding.'

But it looks like some fans are willing to spend a lot of money to get a piece of the action – even if it's just a cigarette butt or a piece of trash. It's an interesting look at how far some fans will go to connect with their celebrity idols.

Taylor Swift Fans Will Spend Anything to Feel Close to Their Idol

Taylor Swift's fans are known for their dedication and creativity. They've been known to write songs and create art inspired by her music. But paying $25 for trash from outside her wedding is a new level.

Justin Gignac's website has been flooded with orders for the trash, which he describes as 'sculptures.' He's made $1,250 so far, and he may put more items on the market.

The trash was collected from outside the barriers that surrounded Madison Square Garden for Swift's wedding, not from inside the venue. It includes items like water bottle caps, ring pop candy, police caution tape, straws, utensils, and a single left AirPod.
