Taylor Swift has contributed $100,000 to a GoFundMe page set up for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was killed in a mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade earlier this week.

The Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan Memorial page was set up Thursday afternoon with a goal of raising $75,000 for the victim’s family. Early this morning, Swift pushed the total past its goal with two separate donations of $50,000. So far, more than 1,300 people have donated. Variety confirmed Swift’s donations are legitimate.

“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss,” the singer wrote on the page alongside her dual donations. “With love, Taylor Swift.”

3. Nice work Taylor. I'm sure tfg will at least match that

[RVN VET71]

29. TFG will surely double the amount. Such a charitable, caring Fat Donnie!

[C Moon]

54. he has a LOT more on his mind: himself.

[chicoescuela]

[TSExile]

7. She is as generous and kind as she is talented.

Taylor...

[mopinko]

8. i sure hope this incident wasnt about taylor, but...

[localroger]

20. Last I heard, sounded like it wasn't even about the NFL or the parade

Gangbangers having a private war and not caring about the collateral damage as bullets flew. We'll probably know soon since it seems that heroes in the crowd jumped and subdued at least one of the shooters.

[xmas74]

41. Argument between juveniles

That turned into a shooting.

[malaise]

9. Classy

Rec

[usaf-vet]

10. She spend her money like it should be spent if you are ultra wealthy. I may not rave about her song but I respect her...

.... for her humanity.

She is in her early thirties and a self made multi-billionaire with compassion.

[spooky3]

26. Can you believe someone here dismissed her as "a socialite"? Nt

[lostnfound]

31. Rich men are 'self-made millionaires' and if charitable, 'philanthropists'

Women, not labelled those things very much.

[spooky3]

33. "Multi-talented", "entrepreneurial genius", "gifted businessman/woman"

Would also work…but not if you’re a “girl” I guess.

[obamanut2012]

38. She is literally not a socialite in any way

And neither is anyone in her family.

Her parents were in finance until her mom stopped working after she had Taylor and her brother, and Taylor grew up in Pennsyltucky on a Christmas tree farm with horses. Then, started working in music when she was about 14/15.

11. Remind me, how much did trump give?

[tavernier]

17. Twice as much.

In Trump Dollars.

[lastlib]

19. I think he gave one of his NFTs........

Of course, that's FAR more than anybody else gave......


(did I need this?)

[ZonkerHarris]

49. he tossed them a few rolls of paper towels

[soldierant]

51. Many thanks for the

It was bothering me that others weren't using it. It's jus a courtesy - and especially to people on the spectrum and others who havedisabilities which affect the ability to "get" irony.

[budkin]

40. WAY MORE

Absolutely the most.

[Upthevibe]

12. highplainsdem.......

Thanks for this post.....

Taylor continues to show us what an amazing human she is.

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. She's a fine person

No wonder MAGAs can't stand her.

[justhanginon]

14. Anxiously awaiting matching donations from NRA and NAGR (National Assoc. for Gun Rights). Yeah, sarcasm!

[LittleGirl]

15. Taylor Swift is the best of America

She embodies what billionaires should do for the least among us. I am so happy that her parents raised her to be a wonderful and decent human being on this planet. I look forward to see the rest of what Taylor will bless us with and wonder how her life will be remembered. She's the embodiment of what we should all strive for...to help the afflicted and be generous with your heart and money.

I might even buy some of her music because this ole boomer has a girl crush on her.

[MontanaMama]

28. Your post reminds me of Swift's song, Long Live.

This line in particular:

Will you take a moment?
Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if, God forbid, fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name

Her empathy seems to grow every day. I think that’s one of the reasons MAGAts hate her. She will be remembered.

[TeamProg]

34. Republicans want everyone to pull themselves up with their own empathy. nt

[MontanaMama]

46. I no longer know of a rethug

that possesses any empathy. They're mean and miserable.

[pazzyanne]

16. K&R

My respect for Taylor Swift grows daily!

[calimary]

35. So does mine.

[moonshinegnomie]

18. the comments on the fox news page about it are what you'd expect

a complete bunch of incels and losers living in moms basement

[samsingh]

21. Thanks Taylor

[democrank]

22. Uplifting to be reminded of all the good people out there.

I appreciate Taylor Swift’s kindness and generosity.

[iluvtennis]

23. Excellent! Thank you Ms Swift. n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. I really like Taylor Swift. She and Shaquille

should get together. He gives all kinds of money to mostly inner-city kids. Taylor gives a ton for the needy.

I love em both

[soldierant]

52. Someone else who gives a lot

is Dolly Parton.

And that is so widely known I probably didn't need to say it.



(And this is probably around a tenth of the cherry on the sundae.)

It'll happen.......

43. As a Kansas City resident, who doesn't know a Swift song

I am a Swifty now. Also, Go Chiefs~!

[Cha]

44. Mahalo Taylor Swift..

TY

[BaronChocula]

48. What would you expect

from a billionaire who cleans up everyone's empty plates and cups in the spectator box at NFL games? That girl was raised right.

[Evolve Dammit]

50. Taylor has a heart and a soul. Dixie Chicks can relate to the crap. What a great combo???

[ificandream]
