After being accused of not doing anything about the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' victory parade after the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift donated to the family of a victim.

According to reports, the "You Belong With Me" hitmaker donated $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a KC radio DJ who was killed last Feb. 14.

"Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift," read the note that came with the donation.

Swift had two donations to the family, $50,000 each, surpassing their GoFundMe goal of $75,000.

"This fund has been set up to benefit the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan. Lisa was celebrating the Chiefs' Super Bowl Victory parade when senselessly killed. She is survived by two children and her husband of 22 years," read the page.

"She was an amazing mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to so many. We ask that you continue to keep her family in your prayers as we grieve the loss of her life. This fund will help provide vital financial support to her family as they process this unthinkable tragedy. Any amount is appreciated."

"Great woman," another wrote.

"We love you, Taylor."

"Let's see the haters step up to the plate and match it."
