American pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce just held a ‘wedding of the century’ in New York, and unexpectedly, the waste left behind at their wedding is now being sold online—even the “air” from the event has become a hot commodity! The most eye-catching item is a bag claimed to contain 'commemorative air' collected from the makeshift restaurant at the wedding venue, which astonishingly sold for $49,999 (about 203,420 Malaysian Ringgit), sparking a heated discussion online.
Not long after Taylor Swift’s wedding ended, a variety of creative merchandise quickly appeared online. Internet users discovered that on auction and e-commerce site eBay, someone was openly auctioning a bag of 'restaurant commemorative air' said to be collected during Taylor Swift’s wedding. The bag was marked for sale at nearly $50,000.
Besides the sky-high priced 'commemorative air,' other trash from around the venue—such as scraps of fabric and discarded soda can pull tabs—were also packaged as souvenirs for sale, each priced at about $25 (about 101.71 Malaysian Ringgit).
Surprisingly, these 'New York trash' themed collectibles have been extremely popular, with current stock almost sold out. Reportedly, these products are part of an art project leveraging the wedding’s hype, masterminded by artist Justin Gignac, aiming to use the event’s buzz for creative marketing.
