Jacob Charles Lewis, 20, was reportedly struck by a suspected drunken driver after his car broke down in the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is understood to have attended Swift’s Eras Tour concert earlier that evening with his sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, Swift’s fans have taken to the GoFundMe page, with many donating $13 or $113 – a nod to Swift’s lucky number 13 – and quoting the 33-year-old musician’s lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than $115,000 has been raised in Mr Lewis’s memory so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His sister April Bancroft posted on Twitter thanking fans for their donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I cannot express the overwhelming gratitude from every Swiftie out there. Thank you thank you thank you. I will get to your messages eventually if I haven’t already, your words have inspired me through my day so much.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Lewis was reportedly taking a gap year from Sam Houston State University where he was majoring in musical theater. He also competed in the Pokemon world championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swift has so far performed 13 out of 52 shows scheduled on the US leg of the Eras Tour, which was announced after the release of her tenth album Midnights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Houston police department has charged a 34-year-old man in relation to the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
