Taylor Swift Donated $100,000 To The Woman Killed At The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl Parade

“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” she wrote.

On Wednesday, Feb. 14, there was a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade. Shortly after, CNN reported that one civilian had died and at least 21 others were injured.

As of this morning, several of those injured remain in critical condition. 

The woman killed has since been identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a local DJ who worked at the Kansas City radio station KKFI. She attended the event with her husband, son, and daughter.

“Lisa was one of our programmers/DJs on Taste of Tejano. Like all our programmers, she was a volunteer who donated her time and talent to KKFI. … Their show has brought a voice to the KC community that is missed in the mainstream media,” said Kelly Dougherty, KKFI's director of development and communications.

On Feb. 15, a GoFundMe page was created in hopes of raising money for Lopez-Galvan's family as they process the tragedy, and the goal was to raise up to $75,000.

Early this morning, Taylor Swift herself donated $100,000 to the GoFundMe page. Because GoFundMe caps donations at $50,000 per individual donation, Taylor made two donations of $50,000 each, exceeding the initial goal.
