Taylor Swift has reportedly donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe set up to support the family of late Kansas City radio host Lisa Lopez-Galvan. Lopez-Galvan was killed when a trio of individuals opened fire at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade earlier this week. “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” a note on the donation read. Before taking the stage for an Eras Tour show in Melbourne, Swift's team confirmed to Billboard that it was a legitimate donation from the swinger.
Lopez-Galvan, who hosted a food program on a local radio station, was the lone fatality in the shooting. 22 others were injured. "It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez, host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs' rally. Our hearts and prayers are with her family. This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community," wrote Lopez-Galvan's employer wrote in a statement.
