Taylor Swift Donates $100K to Family of Mom Killed at Kansas City Chiefs Parade

Taylor Swift has donated $100,000 to the surviving family of a woman who was shot and killed on Wednesday (Feb. 14) after a parade celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory.

• Lisa Lopez-Galvan was in attendance at the victory celebration in downtown Kansas City on Wednesday.
• Two gunmen opened fire on the crowd after the parade concluded, killing Lopez-Galvan and injuring at least 22 others.
• Authorities say the shootings have no links to “terrorism or violent extremism," adding that the shootings stemmed from a “dispute between several people that ended in gunfire.”
• Two juveniles remain in custody.

Lopez-Galvan was a DJ at local radio station KKFI 90.1. A GoFundMe set up to benefit her family originally aimed to raise $75,000, but Swift single-handedly exceeded that goal with two donations of $50,000 apiece, bringing the total as of Friday morning (Feb. 16) to just under $200,000.

"Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss," Swift writes to accompany each donation, adding, "With love, Taylor Swift."

A representative for Swift confirmed to Variety that the donations came from Swift.
