Taylor Swift has donated $100,000 (P5.6 million) to the GoFundMe campaign established for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was shot and killed during a victory parade of the Chiefs in Kansas City, Missouri.

According to the GoFundMe page, the online fundraiser—with an initial goal of raising $75,000—was "set up to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan." The proceeds will help "provide vital financial support to her family as they process this unthinkable tragedy."

Swift, who made several appearances at the Chiefs game to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, made two $50,000 donations to the page.

"Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift," the singer wrote.

Swift's camp confirmed to news outlets Variety and ABC News about the legitimacy of her contributions.

Lopez-Galvan, a 44-year-old mother of two, was shot on Wednesday during an outbreak of gunfire following the celebration of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win.

The Kansas City Missouri Police Department said that 22 other people were shot and wounded that day. Lopez-Galvan's son, Marc, was also a victim but has since been released from the hospital.

Lopez-Galvan was a wedding DJ and host of a Latin music program, "Taste of Tejano."

Her brother Beto Lopez described her as someone who "loved her family" and was "very bubbly" with a "life-of-the-party kind of personality," said ABC News.

As of writing, the page has raised $185,067 for the family.
