In the wake of the horrifying massacre at the Orlando gay club Pulse, people of all walks of life have lined up to offer their condolences and lend support in whatever way they can. The latest to offer a tribute to the 49 innocent people who lost their lives in the tragedy—the worst mass shooting in American history—is Taylor Swift. The singer shared a handwritten note that she had penned with the names of everyone who died in the attack affixed to a card on Instagram.

Addressed to the family members of those died, Swift wrote, "As you bury your loved ones this week, please know that there are millions of us sending you love and our deepest sympathy in the face of this unthinkable and devastating tragedy." 

It's another nice memorial in the wake of such a senseless tragedy. On Tuesday, during her Detroit concert on the Formation Tour, Beyoncé paused the show to pay homage to the dead with a stirring rendition of her song "Halo."

Meanwhile, shortly after the incident took place Sunday, President Obama stepped out to say on behalf of the nation, "We will be there for the people of Orlando today, tomorrow, and all of the days to come."
