One woman was killed in a shooting at a Super Bowl championship party in Kansas City on Wednesday.
Singer-songwriter and pop megastar Taylor Swift has donated 100,000 dollars (approx. 93,000 euros) to the family of the woman who died in the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs championship party.
Swift, who recently won a Grammy for her record fourth album of the year, made two $50,000 donations to the victim’s Gofundme fund set up for the shooting’s sole victim to Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan.
– I send my deepest condolences and condolences for your heartbreaking loss. With love, Taylor Swift, a message left with the donation reads.
Swift’s representatives have confirmed to CNN and Variety, among others, that the donations made in Swift’s name are genuine.

The collection set up in Lopez-Galvan’s memory has already raised nearly $300,000. The collection page states that the purpose of the collection is to provide financial support to the Lopez-Galvan family. She was missed by her husband and two children.
22 people were injured at the Kansas City Chiefs championship party last Wednesday. Nine children were among the wounded.
Swift herself was not present at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship celebration, but she returned to her tour in Australia after last Sunday’s Super Bowl. Her Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce was there instead.
The police arrested three people on suspicion of the shooting. Two of them are under 18 years old. They have been charged with firearm offenses and resisting arrest as minors, but prosecutors want to charge them as adults.
Director of the Kansas City Police Department Stacey Graves told a press conference on Thursday that the shooting at Wednesday’s Super Bowl championship party is most likely the result of a dispute between several people.
