Taylor Swift has once again shown her generosity and compassion by donating $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life during the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Lopez-Galvan was one of two people killed in the shooting, which also left over a dozen injured. The incident occurred as thousands of fans gathered to celebrate the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl win in 50 years.
Swift, who has a close connection to Kansas City as her mother grew up there, was deeply saddened by the news and wanted to do something to support the community during this difficult time. The singer made the generous donation to a GoFundMe page set up for Lopez-Galvan’s family, which has already raised over $50,000.
In a statement, Swift expressed her condolences and urged others to donate to the cause. “My heart is broken for the family and friends of Lisa Lopez-Galvan. No one should have their life taken away in such a senseless act of violence,” she said. “I hope that this donation can help ease the financial burden during this tragic time and I encourage others to join me in supporting the family in any way they can.”
Swift’s donation has been met with gratitude and appreciation from Lopez-Galvan’s loved ones. Her brother, Miguel Lopez, thanked the singer on social media, writing, “Thank you @taylorswift for your kind heart and generosity. Your donation means so much to our family during this difficult time.”
The GoFundMe page also states that any additional funds raised will go towards funeral expenses and supporting Lopez-Galvan’s two young children.
This is not the first time Swift has used her platform and resources to support those in need. In the past, she has donated to various causes and organizations, including victims of natural disasters, LGBTQ+ rights, and music education programs.
In addition to her charitable efforts, Swift has also been vocal about the need for stricter gun control laws in the United States. In a recent interview with Variety, she stated, “We need to do everything we can to prevent these tragedies from happening. No one should have to live in fear of gun violence.”
As the community continues to mourn the loss of Lopez-Galvan and the other victim, Swift’s donation serves as a reminder of the power of kindness and the importance of coming together in times of tragedy.
