A T-shirt worn by Taylor Swift sparks a $2M windfall for sea otters
A Northern California aquarium has raised more than $2 million for sea otter conservation in just two days. All it took was Taylor Swift wearing a vintage T-shirt. She wore a vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium otter conservation T-shirt, sparking a fan frenzy to buy the shirt. The aquarium re-released the shirt Thursday to raise $1.3 million for sea otter conservation. They surpassed the goal in less than eight hours, and raised more than $2 million by Friday afternoon. The T-shirt was last produced in the 1990s, and how Swift acquired it remains a mystery. The aquarium and the T-shirt company are thrilled by the unexpected support for ocean conservation.
