Taylor Swift has made a generous donation of $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a Kansas City radio DJ who tragically lost her life in a mass shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade. Swift, whose boyfriend is Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, made two separate donations of $50,000 each to a GoFundMe page that was set up to support Lopez-Galvan’s family. The donations were confirmed by a representative for Swift, who explained that she had to donate twice because the crowdfunding site only accepts a maximum of $50,000. Swift expressed her condolences and sympathies to the family in a message on the page.
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 funds for the family, with a goal of $75,000. As of Friday morning, the page has received over $218,000 from more than 2,000 contributors. The GoFundMe site described Lopez-Galvan as an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, and expressed gratitude for any amount donated to support the family during this tragic time.
Swift’s donations were made overnight while she was starting her Eras Tour in Melbourne, Australia. Lopez-Galvan, known as “Lisa G,” had been co-hosting “Taste of Tejano” on the radio since March 2022. She was passionate about music and worked as a DJ at various events, playing a mix of Tejano, Mexican, Spanish, R&B, and hip hop music.
The shooting at the Chiefs’ victory parade left at least 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, and the investigation is ongoing. The Kansas City Chiefs and local authorities have expressed their condolences and are urging witnesses and victims to come forward with any information or footage related to the incident.
In conclusion, Taylor Swift’s donation to support the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life in the shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade, has provided vital financial support during this difficult time. The community has rallied together to raise funds for the family, and authorities are actively investigating the incident to bring justice to those responsible.
