Speaking of famous people… Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding news continues to be completely unhinged. Someone is selling “wedding trash” from their Madison Square Garden ceremony online. We’re talking fabric scraps and soda can tops. But the wildest listing? A bag of “air from MSG” for almost $50,000. And yes, people are arguing online whether this is genius marketing… or proof that the internet has gone too far.
More wedding drama — reports say guests at Taylor and Travis’ wedding were checked for recording devices, including Meta smart glasses. The couple reportedly had their own camera crew filming the day, but there are no plans right now for a public wedding documentary. So don’t expect Taylor Swift: The Wedding Era streaming next month.
Robert Pattinson is also upset he missed the wedding… but not just because he missed the party. He missed the gifts!

His reaction: “What did I get?” Honestly, relatable.
