The Kansas City Chiefs are coming up on another home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, October 19, and since it’s a home game, there’s a good chance that Taylor Swift will be there. The singer, of course, is engaged to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and she tends to go to all of his home games, because she’s comfortable with the security at those games. For the away games, security is hit or miss, so she usually stays away from those matchups.
Now, the Chiefs are coming up on a game Sunday, October 19, against the Las Vegas Raiders. Since the Raiders are 2-4 and having a rough season, this should be an easier game than last weekend’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, but one must never assume a win. So, the Chiefs have to be on their game, and they will.
Now, ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game, Swift has some interesting news. This news shows the power of her fame and how it can be used for a good cause.
Taylor Swift Helps Raise Incredible Donation
Swift, without even perhaps knowing it, helped a charity raise a lot of bag. After Swift wore a vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium otter T-shirt, the aquarium reissued the item for Swifties through a special fundraiser, and boy, did it work.
Specifically, Swift donned the 1990s-era otter T-shirt from California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium when she was filming “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” and the shirt showed up in the final video. According to a report from KSBW, after the premiere of the film, the Monterey Bay Aquarium noticed a bunch of donations in $13 increments, Swift’s favorite number, and more interest in the shirt, which was no longer being made.
So, the Monterey Bay Aquarium reissued the shirt design with a fundraiser in the hopes of $1.3 million, another lucky Swift number. The fundraiser reached that $1.3 million goal in just seven hours, according to Monterey Bay Aquarium, and as of Friday, October 17, it’s raised more than $2.3 million and counting.
“We’re saying thank you to all the eagle-eyed fans out there with a re-release of our vintage Monterey Bay Aquarium sea otter t-shirt. We tracked down the original artwork—first printed in the 1990s—and are bringing it back, sustainably,” the aquarium stated on the fundraiser page. “For a limited time we’re running a special campaign to support our Sea Otter Program and other critical ocean conservation work.”
‘The Life of a Showgirl’ is a Hit
Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” marked the biggest debut for an album on the Billboard 200 chart, notching more than 4 million album units. It also shattered the record for the most vinyl albums sold in a single week, with 1.2 million copies, according to Billboard.
The album is getting stellar reviews, too. “Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ combines new, exciting sonic turns with incisive storytelling,” Rolling Stone says in its review of the album. Maya Georgi of Rolling Stone adds, “On her 12th studio album, Swift hits all her marks — from new, exciting sonic turns to incisive storytelling.”
So, Swift is really on top of the world right now. She also has a wedding to plan with Kelce, too, so it’s lots of excitement all around.
