Pop sensation Taylor Swift has extended a heartfelt gesture of support by donating $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a victim tragically killed during the shooting incident at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade.
The generous donation, consisting of two separate $50,000 contributions, was made public on Friday via a GoFundMe page. Swift’s representative confirmed the donations to Variety, with The Associated Press independently verifying the posts.
Accompanying the donations were messages from Swift expressing her deepest sympathies and condolences to the grieving family. The tragic incident occurred on Wednesday as Lopez-Galvan, 43, joined the celebration of the Chiefs’ triumph with her husband, young adult son, and countless other fans at Union Station in Kansas City.
Lopez-Galvan, also known as Lisa G, was a beloved figure in the community, hosting “Taste of Tejano” on local radio station KKFI-FM. Described as an exceptional mother, wife, and friend, she leaves behind a profound impact on those who knew her.
The GoFundMe campaign, aimed at supporting Lopez-Galvan’s family in their time of need, has garnered significant attention, amassing over $200,000 in donations as of Friday morning.
While investigators continue their efforts to identify those responsible for the shooting, which left 22 others wounded, including several minors, police have two juveniles in custody and are exploring whether others were involved.
Despite her absence from the parade, Swift’s connection to the Chiefs through her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce underscores her support for the community during this difficult time.
