Taylor Swift donates $100,000 to shooting victim's family during Kansas City Chiefs celebration

Taylor Swift became the absolute protagonist of the Super Bowl final, held last Sunday, February 11, in Las Vegas, and which faced the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. A match that was followed by millions of people around the world and that ended with the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs, the team where Travis Kelce, the singer's boyfriend, currently plays.

The couple starred in one of the most romantic and viral moments of the night. And after finishing the game, both met again on the field and melted into a passionate kiss. A most anticipated moment that was celebrated by all the followers of the singer and the National Football League (NFL) team. Although it was an unforgettable night for Kansas City Chiefs fans, the celebration continued days later with a spectacular parade throughout the city.

However, the celebration of the current NFL champions was overshadowed by a terrifying fact. According to local media, last Monday, just as the parade was about to end, several shots began to be fired near Union Station. An episode of violence that left one victim and more than twenty people injured.

This past Thursday, February 15, local authorities reported that the reason for the shooting was a fight. ''Preliminary results of the investigation have shown that there is no link to terrorism or domestic violent extremism,'' said Stacey Graves, chief of the city's police department.

The event has shocked all fans of the NFL team, including Taylor Swift, who made a drastic decision this Friday. And according to The Guardian, the singer had decided to donate $100,000 to the family of the shooting victim, Lisa López-Galván.

A memorial GoFundMe page was created earlier this week with the goal of raising $75,000 for the entire family of the Kansas City radio DJ. However, the artist surprised everyone this Friday by sending two donations of $50,000 each. A figure with which the goal of the page has already been exceeded and which currently accumulates more than 170 thousand dollars. ''I send you my deepest condolences and condolences following your devastating loss,'' the singer wrote.
