The pop star offered her condolences in a comment on GoFundMe.
Taylor Swift is offering her condolences and a sizable donation to the family of slain Kansas City radio DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan.
The 34-year-old songstress donated $100,000 to the family of Lopez-Galvan -- who died after being shot at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Victory Parade on Wednesday -- via GoFundMe. The fundraiser's initial goal was set at $75,000.
In a comment on her donation -- which was broken into two $50,000 installments -- Swift wrote, "Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift."
ET has learned that Swift's contribution is legitimate.
Chaos unfolded on Wednesday as gunfire erupted in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, just moments after the Chiefs' Super Bowl Victory Parade came to a close. The team had been celebrating their second consecutive Super Bowl victory, after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Swift has been a mainstay at the Chiefs' games this season amid her ongoing romance with the team's tight end, Travis Kelce. However, she was not present on the day of the parade, as she had traveled to Melbourne, Australia, for the current leg of her Eras Tour.
On Thursday, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves offered an exhaustive update on the tragedy.
Graves said a total of 23 people were shot near Union Station and one person died. That deceased person was identified as Lopez-Galvan -- a mother of two, diehard Chiefs fan and popular DJ and radio host at KKFI's 90.1 FM. She was 43.
"We are still learning about her, but know that she is beloved by many," Graves said at a news conference. "To her family and friends, we are with you and we are working tirelessly to investigate her murder."
Graves also shared that a preliminary investigation shows there was no nexus to terrorism or violent extremism. The mass shooting, Graves said, stemmed from an apparent dispute between several people that ended in gunfire.
The 22 other shooting victims range in age between 8 and 47 years old, and at least half of the victims are under the age of 16. The investigation, which remains active and ongoing, has so far yielded three individuals in custody. Two of the three individuals, officials say, are juveniles. Officials also said police have recovered several firearms.
According to the Kansas City Star, Lopez-Galvan suffered a gunshot wound to her abdomen but succumbed to her injuries during surgery.
In a statement to ET, the Lopez-Galvan family said they want to "thank the community for their prayers and support during this difficult time." The statement continued, "We are heartbroken with the loss of our loved one, Elizabeth 'Lisa' Lopez-Galvan, who was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. Lisa leaves behind her husband of 22 years, Mike, and two children, Marc, and Adriana. We ask to please keep our family in your prayers as we grieve the loss of Lisa’s death while also supporting our other loved ones who were impacted in this senseless act."
Lopez-Galvan was a popular DJ and co-host of the program Taste of Tejano on KKFI's 90.1 FM. According to her bio on the radio station's website, Lopez-Galvan had "been a private mobile DJ for more than 15 years playing for all types of crowds." She co-hosted Taste of Tejano -- a station staple for nearly three decades -- since March 2022 alongside Tommy Andrade and Monica Frias McGee.
Moments after the shooting, Patrick Mahomes tweeted, "Praying for Kansas City." Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill also tweeted, "Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act. Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing."
In his own statement, Kelce wrote, "I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me."
Also on Friday, the Chiefs organization announced the launch of KC Strong, an emergency respond fund in partnership with United Way for victims of the shooting and their families, as well as violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.
"The Chiefs, Hunt Family Foundation and NFL are supporting this cause with a $200,000 donation to ensure that we are helping to support the victims and first responders in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday's tragedy," reads a statement on X. "If you'd like to donate, please visit: http://chfs.me/KCStrong."
