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.
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.
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 ❤
@@wavyboyzALL of the proceeds from this video go directly to childhood cancer research; in perpetuity. That says a lot about Taylor as a person. Not many artists would continue to contribute to a cause for years, decades after the release and debut of a song. I love that she gave Maya (the mom) writing credits since Maya’s blog and exact words were used in the song. Taylor has only performed this song live twice. Once for #Stand ⬆️2cancer and the last one was when she invited Ronans parents to her concert and told everyone that they were in the crowd. Pictures of Ronan were scrolling on the screen behind her. She’s never played it again. I think it really hurt her heart and almost started to cry singing it both times. Some things are just too painful to keep doing. I’m so glad that it’s on an album so Maya and Cancer Research will contribute to profit from the songs success. Even though it was made out of a heartbreaking experience, it was so beautifully written and performed.
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.
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 have a 3 year old son and a 16 month old daughter and have only listened to this song 3 times. It makes me ugly cry every single time. I can’t even imagine.
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 💕
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!!!!!!
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. 😢❤
Agreed! This one is so beautiful, haunting, and emotional all the way around. His gigantic eyes on his smiling face is just touching and makes you instantly fall in love with this brave baby angel 👼
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.
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.
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.
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. 💔
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.
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
@@Джеклейландit’s about a little boy, Ronan, that died from childhood cancer. Taylor saw the mums blog and wrote it just for her, not the public. The released song was specifically after Romans’ parents started a charity for him and Taylor asked their permission to release it as a single with all the proceeds going to the charity, they agreed and have since met Taylor. Ronan did not survive the onslaught of cancer. 😢

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♥️🫶🏻
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.
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.
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.😢🎉
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
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.
@@wavyboyz then maybe add Soon You'll Get Better to that list. It's about her mom's battle with cancer - it's beautiful but it's too tough for me to listen to. That being said, she sang it live for a Covid benefit and that performance is stunning. I just think there are certain songs that people should be ready for before they hear it, and Ronan & SYGB are definitely a couple of those songs.
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
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
@@wavyboyz not all tears are bad. I lost a son when he’d just had his 34th birthday. Some tears clean the soul and put a better perspective on life and gratitude. It was like a pressure cooker releasing steam.
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" ruclips.net/video/Yu_BV9A_bjo/видео.html
@@Koreankimmie No relation to Taylor . Taylor was inspired to write the song after reading the blog from Ronan mom. The blog was called Rockstar Ronan it was written by Ronan's mother, Maya Thompson.

Ugh i cry EVERY SINGLE TIME i hear this song and always swear im never gonna watch the video again, yet here we are, bawling.
This song makes everyone cry every single time.
If you don’t cry at this song, you’re not human, it’s that simple
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. 😢❤
Same. This is such a cruel reaction request. I barely got through it.
Thank you for shedding some tears with me family I appreciate you 🙏🏽
Agreed! This one is so beautiful, haunting, and emotional all the way around. His gigantic eyes on his smiling face is just touching and makes you instantly fall in love with this brave baby angel 👼
It is usually a 2 to 3 tissue cry for me.

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. ❤
It was too early to be crying but it was a beautiful song
😢😢😢 undoubtedly one of Taylor's saddest and most beautiful songs ever...to this day, I can't listen to it without breaking down....
