A GoFundMe account set up for the memorial of Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, the woman shot and killed in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade shooting, received a six-figure donation from Taylor Swift.
The pop star, who became a presence at Chiefs’ games during her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, made two separate $50,000 donations early Friday morning in the U.S., around 8 p.m. ACT in Australia, where Swift is currently touring.
“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” she wrote in the message.

Variety confirmed through Swift’s spokesperson that the donations, which totaled $100,000, were from Swift. GoFundMe has a maximum donation of $50,000 at a time, which was set back in 2015 when Swift was trying to give $50,000 to 11-year-old Naomi Oakes, who used Swift’s song “Bad Blood” as a fight song during Oakes’ leukemia treatment. At the time, the limit was $15,000, which meant Swift had to donate four times to reach the $50,000 she wanted to give to Oakes’ page.
“This fund has been set up to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan,” the GoFundMe page read. “Lisa was celebrating the Chiefs Super Bowl Victory parade when senselessly killed. She is survived by two children and her husband of 22 years. She was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. We ask that you continue to keep her family in your prayers as we grieve the loss of her life. This fund will help provide vital financial support to her family as they process this unthinkable tragedy. Any amount is appreciated.”
The page featured a goal of $75,000 and has since gone past that total, sitting just past $180,000 as of 8 a.m. ET, with more than half the total accounted by Swift’s donations.
Lopez-Galvan was a local disc jockey who lived in Shawnee, Kansas, with her husband and two children. She was the co-host of Latin music program, “Taste of Tejano” on KKFI.
Her brother, Beto Lopez, who is president and CEO of the Guadalupe Centers in Kansas City, said Lopez-Galvan was shot and died on the grounds of Union Station and that she did not make it to the hospital, according to the Kansas City Star. Among the other gunshot victims were her son, Marc Lopez-Galvan, and the grade-school daughters of a cousin. Their wounds were said by Lopez to be “non-life threatening.”
Lopez-Galvan went to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade with her son and daughters and their cousins, Lopez told the Kansas City Star. He said both Lopez-Galvan’s children “witnessed their mother get shot.”
“We’re just going to have to really help [Marc Lopez-Galvan] mentally to get through this. Besides the shock, the initial shock, he was there, with his mother, when all this happened,” Lopez told the Star.
There were 23 people shot during the Super Bowl parade, including nine children. All nine children are expected to recover, per the Star.
