The Monterey Bay Aquarium has restocked a popular T-shirt featuring an otter design, famously worn by Taylor Swift in her "Taylor Swift: The End of an Era" documentary. The shirt, priced at $65.13, is available again after an initial sell-out.
The design, originally created in the 1990s by illustrator Chris Van Dusen, is printed by Liberty Graphics on 100% cotton. The price includes a donation to the aquarium, which is known for its sea otter program and extensive deep-sea animal collection. The Monterey Bay Aquarium served as inspiration for Pixar's "Finding Dory."
Swift's fiancé, Travis Kelce, recently expressed his fondness for otters on his podcast, "New Heights." His sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, symbolically adopted a giant river otter at the Philadelphia Zoo in his name, calling it "Uncle Trav."
During its last availability, the limited-edition T-shirts generated $2.3 million for the aquarium in under two days. An aquarium representative described the previous response as "beyond our wildest dreams."
