Taylor Swift - Ronan (Taylor's Version) (Lyric Video) | Reaction 

RONANS mother wrote a vlog about her experience. Taylor ran across it and followed it. She used the mothers words in the song and gave her credit for writing it.

Ronans mom was on a talk show when this happened and played the voicemail from Taylor. They met once at a concert backstage and when Ronan passed Taylor called and said that she had an idea for a song for the cancer foundations concert and asked her permission to write the song for Ronan. I cry everytime, this song hits too deep, and Taylor did this for a stranger. She’s just an angel ❤

The fact that Taylor could write such a beautifully heartbreaking song about people she didn't actually know tells you everything you need to know about her as a person and how talented she is.

Taylor came across Ronan's Mom's blog when he was still with her. The blog was her outlet. After he died Taylor wrote the song using some of the words/thoughts from the blog. Taylor felt compelled to write the song because the blog moved her so much. She got in touch with Ronan's mom and told her she came across her blog and wrote the song and could she send it to her. She wrote and recorded it in her house. She told Ronan's mom the song was just for her and she would never play it again or use it on an album. Months later Taylor saw Ronan's parents set up a charity in his name to help other children with cancer. Taylor contacted Ronans mom to see what she thought about her making going into the studio to make a professional cut and make a video using Ronan's pictures. Since Taylor had used things Ronan's mom said in her blog she told her she would give her a song songwriting credit and the proceeds from the song would go directly to Ronan's charity. Ronan's mom thought it was a great idea and sent Taylor some pictures to use in the video. Taylor never told anyone anything about the song. Ronan's parents came out after the video was made and told the story. A few years later Taylor participated in a national televised cancer fundraiser and asked Ronan's family if she could sing it live for that. No one would have ever known about the song had Ronan's parents not started a charity in his name and Taylor just happened to come across it. This is a re-record. The original video is better. It is all in color and makes Ronan more "alive." Not sure how to word that. Taylor never met Ronan. His parents were not fans of Taylor's as people have stated. They knew who she was but that was it. The song came about organically. Of course they have met Taylor now and she invited them to a concert. What a weird beautiful story. Now Ronan's parents will always have a video of him set to some of his Mom's words. So touching.

Taylor's mom has been struggling with cancer on and off for many years now. I think that's why Mia (his mom) and Ronan's story was so special to Taylor. Besides acknowledging Mia as a cowriter on the song and giving her the credits and royalties, just the fact that someone took the time to immortalise your child in music so that billions of people will remember his name and his story is pretty special 💕

No no no no no...dude, I didn't want to cry tonight!

This is the only Taylor Swift song I physically can't listen to. I don't have any children, but just the idea of losing a child and what those parents must be going through will always break my heart.

I saw this and said “oof. It’s too early to cry. But if he’s gonna cry I guess I’ll cry with him” because no one watches this without crying. No matter how many times we’ve heard it. 😢❤

This song makes everyone cry every single time.

Pretty sure Taylor has only performed this live twice. Once at a cancer foundation function, and once when Ronan's Mom was at one of her concerts. She barely got through the song and you could tell she was fighting back tears. The song writing credits go to the Mother along with Taylor because the words mostly came from the Mother's blog. All proceeds go to the Ronan Cancer Foundation . Taylor Swift is a special person and those haters who hate can just KM!!!!!!

Y’ALL COULD HAVE WARNED THE MAN! 😢 lol but for reals this song punches me in the gut and I know it all too well.

I saw this and wasn’t ready either…it’s 6am! I knew that sigh was gonna take both of us out. Taylor has such a beautiful soul. ❤

Oh man. This is one of the most beautiful but tragic songs she ever wrote. It’s all for Ronan and his mom as a beautiful gift to their family. It’s a love song of all love songs. I’m sorry no one warned you to bring the tissues!! 💔😭😭😭💔💕🙏

Man, whoever recommended this without a warning, did you so dirty. I can’t listen to this one without crying. I have a son and just relate to it like that.

All the proceeds for this song goes to the Ronan foundation

If you don’t cry at this song, you’re not human, it’s that simple

Beautiful reaction 🥹❤️

😢😢😢 undoubtedly one of Taylor's saddest and most beautiful songs ever...to this day, I can't listen to it without breaking down....

Oh no, I am writing this before I watch because I don’t know if I will be able to listen without crying. If I can’t watch it, I still wanted to like and comment because I appreciate you so much for all these reactions.

What a lot of people don't know is about 2 years later Mya had a baby, a girl, and they named her Poppy Ronan Thompson. The boys in the picture were Ronan's twin brothers.

The one who recommended this song is pure evil 😢

The part of its about to be Halloween you could be anything gets me every time. Some of my favorite memories as a kid was picking my costumes and it was even more fun going with my boys when they were growing up.

By far the BEST, MOST HONEST AND EMPATHETIC reaction to Ronan that I have ever watched. Thank you for giving it the true meaning that it deserves. He was only 4 years old, and my heart would shatter if that happened to my son. She has since had a little girl, and her middle name is Ronan. They will never let his memory go. 💔

I can never listen to this without crying. Even without the video i keep seeing his little face and break down every time

If this song doesnt scorch your soul I don't know.... Its devastating to listen but as a piece of art it's stunning

I can't believe someone requested this without giving you a heads-up on the subject material. I can't listen to this song without completely breaking down. It's on my list of Taylor songs that I just can't listen to.

Bigger than my whole sky breaks my heart everytime, she wrote it for a friend who had a miscarriage, I have lost 3 children due to miscarriages, the song is truly for everyone who has been through it

I was so unprepared the first time i heard this. My son was 3 at the time. I was not okay 😩😭 Whoever rec'd this without a TW for you is a monster 😢

I’m sorry no one warned you. Thank you for the beautiful reaction ❤

Thank you so much!! This is beautiful ❤❤😢

Taylor has only performed this song two or three times. Once for Stand Up to Cancer benefit concert and once during the Era’s tour for Ronan’s family. When she does, you can tell it’s very hard for her to sing it.

Damn. Tears falling onto my tshirt.

A woman who she came across made this song with her. Ronan was 4. Such a beautiful boy. It's heartbreaking. Especially since I've lost my son. Taylor doesn't have any sisters.

Taylor wrote a song about her Mom's cancer battles on the Lover album. It's called Soon You'll Get Better. Fortunately, Taylor's Mom has made it into remission. My Mom passed from Mulitple Myeloma about a month after I got back from my deployment to Kandahar, Afghanistan. It's hard when when your loved one has lived to almost 70 years old. I couldn't imagine losing a 4 year old to cancer.😢🎉

This song gets me every time 😢, he was a beautiful child!

I cry so much listening to this that I actually stop breathing and then I have a full on panic attack. I don’t know why, because I’ve never been through this situation, but it just.. god it’s like someone ripped out my heart. It’s so incredibly painful for me to listen to this. I’m struggling to breathe right now because of how much I’m sobbing. I’m so so so profoundly sorry, Ronan. You didn’t deserve this.

It’s a hard song to get through but honestly I hope everyone who hates her music and her could listen to this. It’s beautiful, sad, tragic, and all around traumatic but it really shows how Taylor took this mother’s grief and made it into something beautiful for her. This song literally will be here forever even after Maya is gone. Ronan will live on forever in this song♥️🫶🏻

You are my favorite reactor. Thank you for your videos. Wish someone would’ve told you this is a song we don’t listen to on the regular or ever lol it’s good but too sad

taylor actually had no personal connection to ronan but his mother was a fan of taylor and taylor came across a blog she wrote about her sons story and taylor got permission to write a song from the mother perspective for a cancer fundraiser or cancer cause to raise money, i’m not sure and the mother got writing credits on the song

He passed away the day before his fourth birthday. He would of been 17 this month.

This one is so beautiful…..I cry every time I listen to it❤❤❤

I can't watch this one. I feel like everyone just needs a hug after this one. I listened to it once, bawled, and said never again.

This song hits harder when you have a FOUR year old brother with BLUE eyes who is obsessed with CARS and DINOSAURS

You have such a beautiful heart. ❤️

This song breaks me EVERY time I hear it.

❤

I didn't realize that people were suggesting this song to you. They should have warned you about the subject so you could be a bit prepared for it. Just FYI, there is a live version that she did for a fund drive. As you can imagine, it is super heartbreaking. I'm NOT suggesting it as a reaction video, but just FYI, in case you ever feel like sobbing: taylor swift - "ronan" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yu_BV9A_bjo.html

Get out the tissues.

His mom went to The Eras Tour on what would have been his 16th birthday and celebrated his song being home!! Taylor’s only played this song 2 times live one was for standup2cancer fundraiser and the other was during the 1989 tour in what would have been his hometown in Arizona

The story behind this song is about a mother who wrote a blog about her son who had cancer and Taylor had came across it and after the little boy had passed away Taylor felt compelled to contact the mother and ask for her permission to write/ share this song

Whoever requested you do this song probably is addicted to true crime stories about child abuse. Sick, sick people

Whoever requested this song should have warned you. So sorry to bring you down right away.

We don't talk about Ronan

You should react to Bigger Than The Whole Sky

Ronan worte a vlog mom. son who dead

No don't make me cry. It was about a boy. Taylor Swift wrote the song "Ronan" in 2012 about a 3-year-old boy who'd died from cancer.
