Pop star Taylor Swift donated $100,000 this Friday to the fundraising campaign for the family of the woman who died in a shooting during the parade to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory in the Super Bowl.
The GoFundMe campaign was created Thursday with the goal of raising $75,000 for the family of Elizabeth López-Galván, who was killed in the shooting that left 22 injured Wednesday, including several children.
«I send my deepest condolences for your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift », she reads a message along with a donation of $50,000. A second donation for the same amount was deposited minutes later.
Along with Swift, more than 2,000 people have donated to the campaign, which has raised more than $200,000.
According to police, the shooting during the Chiefs’ championship football championship celebration was the result of a “dispute between several people.” Among those detained are two minors.
Up to a million jubilant fans had gathered for the NFL champions parade on Wednesday afternoon when gunshots rang out, shortly before 2:00 p.m. local time.
Mass shootings are common in the United States, where there are more guns than people and about a third of adults own a firearm.
The Chiefs were celebrating their third Super Bowl title in five seasons and second in a row, after beating the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Swift is in a romantic relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and was a regular presence at games throughout the season, including the finale.
The megastar is currently in Australia as part of his successful The Eras Tour.
