The Garbage From Taylor Swift’s Wedding is Officially Sold Out

It’s officially been one week since Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce, and since then, there have been people (some might call them Swifties) buying up select garbage that emerged from the depths of Madison Square Garden on that joyous Friday night. I guess one Kelce’s trash is another Swiftie’s treasure! Before you rush to go buy some for yourself, I am so sorry to be the one to break the news, as of Thursday, the garbage is officially sold out. 

The garbage was listed online earlier this week after being handpicked by artist Justin Gignic, who dressed in a tuxedo to pass as a wedding guest and sifted through trash bags and litter outside of MSG on the night of the wedding. According to the Gignic’s site, the items include “cigarette butts, water bottle caps, caution tape, pieces of a rainbow fan, straws, utensils, an ovulation test kit” which he then put into 1-inch “NYC Garbage cubes” and sold for $25 a pop on the website. But if there’s one thing I know about die-hard Swifties, it’s that they have disposable income and are sure as hell going to spend it on their girl. 

“Collected from the edge of a love story outside Madison Square Garden, as close to Taylor & Travis’ big day as you could’ve gotten without an invite,” reads the trash listing. “This is the debut of Pocket Garbage, so you can carry a piece of the greatest day of your… I mean, their lives, wherever you go.” Does this count as recycling?

“Sorry, no requests—only telepathy,” he adds on the listing. “Use your crystals, totems, and vision boards to manifest the one you want.” I have no doubt that there is a gaggle of very happy Swifties treating their wedding garbage like a healing crystal at this very moment. Personally, I’m manifesting that Zoe Kravitz’s cigarette butt is still out there. Or maybe Hugh Grant’s fork. 

On second thought, the whole stunt of selling her garbage is kind of genius. This man figured out a way to cash in on fandoms being absolutely unhinged. And on that note, I’m endlessly fascinated by Swift’s Midas touch. It wasn’t but a few weeks ago that the chair she sat in for a couple of hours at an NBA playoff game was sold at auction for $7,000.

If you missed your chance to own a piece of crumpled-up napkin or unfinished cake from the wedding, don’t worry. I’m willing to bet Midtown is still full of MSG-adjacent litter just waiting for someone to give it a forever home. As the old wives’ tale goes, if the trash from your wedding reception sells out online, the marriage will be long and prosperous.
