Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce tied the knot in a high-profile New York City ceremony on July 3, 2026. The event, held at Madison Square Garden, featured Austin Swift as the Man of Honor and Jason Kelce as the Best Man. In the wake of the celebration, artist Justin Gignac began selling debris collected near the venue.
Gignac gathered items found on the street outside the perimeter of the wedding, including items like plastic straws, bottle caps, and even a discarded AirPod. He packaged these pieces, which he labeled as sculptures, into individual plastic cubes. All 50 items he listed on his website were purchased within a day, generating $1,250 in sales.
The artist explained that his goal was to preserve a cultural moment in New York history. While some items included cigarette butts or an ovulation test, buyers were eager to own a physical connection to the celebrity marriage. Gignac noted that he knotted some of the trash to align with the wedding theme, ensuring these remnants served as a time capsule for fans.
