Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams said people should be free to wear band T-shirts even if they do not know the music. Their comments came during a promotional interview for their film, Klara and the Sun, and challenged the practice of testing fans’ knowledge before accepting their clothing choices.

Ortega objected to being asked to name songs, and noted that people may wear whatever shirt happens to be available. Adams said her daughter’s band shirts helped spark interest in the artists printed on them; she later became a fan of those bands. The two actors agreed that wearing the T-shirt can be a way to discover music.
