In a heartfelt gesture of compassion, global pop sensation Taylor Swift has extended her support to the grieving family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a beloved DJ tragically killed in the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade shooting.
Swift made two generous donations totaling $100,000 to a GoFundMe campaign established to aid Lopez-Galvan’s family as they navigate through the aftermath of this devastating loss. The DJ was celebrating the Chiefs’ triumph alongside her husband, son, and daughter when she was fatally shot, leaving behind a community in mourning.
Accompanying her donations, Swift penned a heartfelt message, expressing her deepest sympathies and condolences to the family. “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” the singer conveyed.
A representative for Swift has confirmed the contributions, underscoring the singer’s commitment to supporting communities in times of need.
The GoFundMe campaign initially aimed to raise $75,000 to provide financial assistance to Lopez-Galvan’s family. However, the outpouring of support from individuals across the globe has far surpassed expectations, with donations exceeding $182,000 as of Friday morning.
This isn’t the first time Swift has used her platform to advocate for meaningful change and support those affected by tragedy. In 2018, she made a substantial donation to March for Our Lives, emphasizing the urgency of addressing gun violence and advocating for gun reform.
Swift’s gesture of kindness comes amid her “Eras Tour” in Melbourne, Australia, where she continues to captivate audiences with her music. Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce expressed his sorrow over the shooting, conveying his heartbreak and solidarity with those affected by the tragedy.
