Taylor Swift made a major contribution to the family of a Kansas City DJ killed earlier this week. The DJ was shot during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade. The shooting injured 20 others as well during the parade
Lisa Lopez-Galvan’s family set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover the expenses related to her death. Swift made two $50,000 donations to the fundraiser, amounting to $100,000 in total. She wrote to the family under the donation, “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift.” Swift also personally signed each donation.
Swift may currently be playing in Australia, but it’s clear that her thoughts are in Kansas City. She sent the donations around the time of her concerts in Australia on Friday. In many ways, Swift has become part of the Kansas City community, often cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce as he went on to win this year’s Super Bowl.
Taylor Swift Mourns Victim
Lopez-Galvan was a radio disc jockey in the community. She worked for radio station KKFI where she co-hosted Tejano Tuesday, a radio show focused on Hispanic music. “This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” the station said in a statement.
