The Monterey Bay Aquarium has raised over $2 million for sea otter conservation in just two days, thanks to Taylor Swift wearing a vintage aquarium shirt.
Swift wore the vintage shirt in a movie for her album release party, sparking a quest among her fans to buy the shirt, which was last produced in the 1990s.
The aquarium was flooded with calls about buying the T-shirt showing two otters floating on their back.
The aquarium decided to re-release the garment 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.
