Taylor Swift showed her love for otters in the “End of an Era” documentary. Disney+It’s an otter emergency.
Taylor Swift may have a history of selling out designer duds and accessories, but one of her more affordable recent looks has a charitable tie.
Fans went crazy when the Grammy winner 36, wore an otter shirt from the Monterey Bay Aquarium in her “Taylor Swift: The End of an Era” documentary, immediately selling out the tee.
Now, it’s back and available to shop for $65.13 — the price a nod to the singer’s favorite number, obviously.
The design was originally created in the ’90s by illustrator and children’s book author Chris Van Dusen and reprinted by Liberty Graphics on a 100% cotton shirt.
The price isn’t just for the cost of the tee, but also a donation to the world-famous aquarium, which is known for its pioneering sea otter program as well as North America’s largest collection of deep-sea animals.
The center served as the inspiration for Pixar’s 2016 “Finding Nemo” sequel, “Finding Dory.”
The shirt is back in stock — and benefits the Monterey Bay Aquarium conservation efforts not only for otters, but its other sea creatures as well.While it’s unclear what exactly Swift’s connection to the California attraction might be, her fiancé, Travis Kelce, recently shared his obsession with otters on his “New Heights” podcast.
Sister-in-law Kylie Kelce later symbolically adopted a giant river otter at the Philadelphia Zoo in the tight end’s name — and named him “Uncle Trav.”
The last time the Monterey Bay Aquarium stocked the limited-edition shirts, they raised a staggering $2.3 million in less than two days.
“The response was beyond our wildest dreams,” the institution shared, with a wink to the Swift song.
