Taylor Swift gives the family of the woman slain in the Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting $100,000.
Taylor Swift gave two $50,000 contributions to a GoFundMe established for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the victim of the horrific shooting that occurred during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship parade on Wednesday.
DJ Lopez-Galvan was shot and killed while she and her husband, son, and daughter were in Kansas City celebrating the Chiefs’ triumph. Twenty-two other people were hurt, several of them parade goers. I’m sending you my sincere thoughts and sorrow following your tragic loss. Love, Taylor Swift,” the musician penned.
We was informed by Taylor Swift’s representative that she had made the donations. The fund’s original objective was to raise $75,000 in order to provide Lopez-Galvan’s family with financial support while they deal with the tragedy. More than $182,000 had been raised as of Friday am.
Taylor Swift previously donated to March for Our Lives in 2018 as a philanthropic act on behalf of shooting victims, stating on Instagram that no one should ever have to worry about gun violence.
“Gun violence shouldn’t be a reason for anyone to avoid attending school. or to a club after dark. or attend an event like a concert. or even to the movies. or to their house of prayer,” the author wrote. “I’ve made a donation to support gun reform, the March For Our Lives initiative, the students, and everyone affected by these tragedies.”
Taylor Swift is presently on her “Eras Tour,” and she is in Melbourne, Australia. Kelce, meanwhile, expressed his “heartbreak” at the shooting. He posted on X, saying, “I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today.” “My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who joined us in celebrating and was impacted. You are very important to me, KC.
