” Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences “:Taylor Swift donates $100,000 to family of Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting victim-HO

A GoFundMe page set up for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the woman killed in a mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade, has caught the attention of Taylor Swift, who made donations on the page totaling $100,000 early Friday morning.

The “Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan Memorial” page was set up Thursday afternoon, with a goal of raising $75,000 for the family of the 44-year-old shooting victim. Around 1,300 people had made donations when Swift pushed the total beyond the goal in the wee hours of Friday morning, first making a donation of $50,000 and then making a second donation in the same amount eight minutes later.

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

While it was the middle of the night in U.S. time zones, it was early evening in Melbourne, Australia, where Swift currently resides for her ongoing tour. She had traveled halfway around the world to resume her tour after attending the Super Bowl. The donations were made around showtime in Australia.

Swift’s representative confirmed to Variety that the donations made by the singer on the GoFundMe page were genuine.

The GoFundMe page aimed to support the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life during the chaos at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl Victory parade. Lisa, survived by her husband of 22 years and two children, was described as an incredible mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. The fund sought to provide crucial financial assistance to her family as they navigate this devastating loss.

Lopez-Galvan was fatally struck in her abdomen by a gunshot during the incident, which occurred on Wednesday. Initial reports suggested she passed away after undergoing surgery, but later updates clarified that she died at the scene.

Aside from being a wedding DJ, Lopez-Galvan co-hosted a Latin music program, “Taste of Tejano,” on a community radio station, KKFI, as reported by the Kansas City Star.

The tragic event resulted in 23 individuals being wounded by gunfire following the celebration of the Chiefs’ Bowl victory, with Lopez-Galvan being the only fatality among them. Police announced on Thursday that two juveniles had been detained in connection with the mass shootings.

Lopez-Galvan’s son, Marc Lopez-Galvan, who is in his 20s, was among the other gunshot victims and has been released from the hospital. Two other more distant relatives were also wounded. The victim’s teenaged daughter, Adriana, was also at the scene but escaped being hit.

Swift has been a frequent guest at Chiefs game and was at the Super Bowl to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, flying to the U.S. in-between weekend-long stints in Tokyo and Melbourne.

In 2015, it was reported that GoFundMe raised its maximum donation cap upwards from $15,000 to $50,000 as a result of Swift having to make multiple donations to reach the level she wanted. At the time, Swift had reportedly tried to give $50,000 to Naomi Oakes, an 11-year old girl battling leukemia who had adopted the then-hit “Bad Blood” as her fight song. Because of the GoFundMe maximum, Swift had to pay the money in four installments, causing the change in the site’s policy. The current cap would explain why Swift made her $100k donation in separate increments.
