Taylor Swift has made a generous donation of $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a Kansas City radio DJ who was tragically killed in a mass shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade. The donation was made through a GoFundMe page set up to provide financial support to the family. Swift, whose boyfriend is Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, made two separate donations of $50,000 each since the crowdfunding site only accepts a maximum of $50,000 at a time. The singer expressed her condolences and sympathies to the family in a message on the page.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 43-year-old mother of two, attended the parade with her husband and adult son, who was also injured in the shooting. A memorial page was created to raise $75,000 for the family, and it has received overwhelming support from over 2,000 contributors, surpassing its goal with over $218,000 raised as of Friday morning.
Swift’s donations were made overnight while she was starting her Eras Tour in Melbourne, Australia. Lopez-Galvan, known as “Lisa G,” was a DJ for the show “Taste of Tejano” and had a passion for music. She also worked as a DJ for various events, playing a mix of Tejano, Mexican, Spanish, R&B, and hip hop music.
The shooting at the Chiefs’ victory parade left 22 people injured, including 11 children. Three juveniles were initially detained by the police, but one was released as they determined they were not involved. Two individuals remain in custody as the investigation continues.
The Kansas City Chiefs and local authorities have expressed their prayers and support for the victims and their families. Police are urging witnesses and anyone with footage or information about the incident to come forward. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker has vowed to use all available resources to find answers and bring justice.
