A GoFundMe for Lisa López-Galván, who was killed in a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade, caught the attention of Taylor Swift. Early Friday morning, the pop singer generously contributed a total of $100,000 to the site.
The “Elizabeth López-Galván Memorial” page was created Thursday to raise $75,000 for the shooting victim’s family. Swift surpassed the goal early Friday by donating $50,000. She followed up with another donation for the same amount eight minutes later. More than 1,300 people had already contributed to the cause.
“I send you my deepest condolences and condolences following your devastating loss. Love, Taylor Swift,” the pop star wrote on the GoFundMe page.
Taylor Swift donated to Chiefs Parade shooting victim’s family while in Australia
While it was considered midnight in US time zones, it was early afternoon in Melbourne, Australia, where Swift is currently located. She will play there on the first night of a three-night engagement. This was after she traveled halfway around the world to resume her tour following her attendance at the Super Bowl. Donations were made around the time of the show in Australia.
López Galván tragically lost his life on Wednesday when he was shot in the abdomen amid the chaos. It was initially reported that she died after undergoing surgery. However, later reports clarified that she succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
López-Galván, in addition to being a wedding DJ, also co-hosted “Taste of Tejano,” a Latin music show on KKFI, a community radio station, according to the Kansas City Star.
A total of 23 people were injured during a rash of gunfire that occurred after the culmination of a rally commemorating the Chiefs’ Bowl victory. Tragically, among the 23 injured, López Galván was the only fatality. On Thursday, authorities announced that two juveniles were arrested in connection with the multiple shootings.
López Galván’s son, Marc López Galván, in his 20s, was among the other shooting victims and was released from the hospital. Two other distant relatives were also injured. The victim’s teenage daughter, Adriana, was present but fortunately avoided being hit.
Taylor Swift has frequently attended Chiefs games and was at the Super Bowl to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, flying to the United States between trips to Tokyo and Melbourne.
