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 victim, who was a popular radio DJ and figure in the city’s Hispanic community and beyond. Around 1,300 people had made donations when Swift pushed the total beyond the goal 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.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan.FacebookWhile that counted as in the middle of the night in U.S. time zones, it was early evening for where Swift is in the world at present, in Melbourne, Australia, where she is playing the first night of a three-night engagement there, after traveling halfway around the world to resume her tour after attending the Super Bowl. The donations were made around showtime in Australia.
Swift’s rep confirmed to Variety that the donations by the singer appearing on the page were legit.
