Taylor Swift is also close to the fate of the killed radio presenter.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a radio host from Kansas City, was shot and killed during a parade celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory on Wednesday (February 14). Taylor Swift has now donated 100,000 US dollars (around 92,000 euros) to benefit the survivors.
Twenty-three other people, including 11 children, were injured in the shooting, but Lopez-Galvan died from her injuries. In the course of this, one was created GoFundMe page set up for her to “the family of [Lopez-Galvan] to provide vital financial support as she copes with this unimaginable tragedy.” “I send you my deepest sympathy and condolences on your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” the singer wrote in a note accompanying her generous donation.
The fundraising goal of $75,000 has now been significantly exceeded. Thanks to the media attention and Swift’s donation, more than 2,200 donations and a total of around $212,000 have now been raised (as of February 16, 4 p.m.).
The woman killed was a mother of two
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 44, worked as a co-host of a Latino music show called “Taste of Tejano” at Kansas City radio station KKFI. She was a mother of two – she had reportedly taken her son with her to the parade. The police now believe that the shooting was the result of an “argument” between several people. Two juvenile suspects have been arrested and are awaiting arraignment.
Taylor Swift was also the center of attention at the Super Bowl
Taylor Swift was at the center of the action at this year’s Super Bowl, as were the two NFL teams. Since she began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, all eyes have been on the artist as well. However, Taylor Swift was not present at the parade. After the Super Bowl she flew to Australia, where she will continue her “The Eras Tour” on Friday (February 16). She will perform three times in Melbourne and four times in Sydney before heading to Singapore for six shows. A short break is planned until May before they continue with the European tour dates.
