The Monterey Bay Aquarium has raised over $2 million for sea otter conservation in just two days, thanks to Taylor Swift wearing a vintage T-shirt.
Taylor Swift wore a vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium otter conservation T-shirt in a release party movie for her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl", sparking a quest among her fans to buy the shirt, which was last produced in the 1990s.
After being flooded with calls about the T-shirt, the aquarium decided to re-release it as part of a special campaign to raise $1.3 million, a nod to Swift's favorite number, according to Liz MacDonald, the aquarium's director of content strategy.
The aquarium was inspired by Taylor Swift's favorite number, 13, when setting the fundraising goal.
