Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the family of the Kansas City shooting victim killed at the Super Bowl parade Wednesday.
The famous singer and girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce donated the money through a GoFundMe page that was set up to aid the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed by gunfire. The family of Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two, appealed for financial assistance in the amount of $75,000 through the crowdfunding platform. The donation amount is now almost at $250,000.00.
