I love how silently respectful the whole crowd was during this song.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Really?

[@australopiteco2]

The crowd is so inappropriate. They should have just be quiet for the entire song.

Yeah same. I cried so hard when I first heard it, as well as “what if I kept the hand me downs you won’t grow into”

this is her saddest song. no one can tell me otherwise.

The bridge - "What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you ..." as a Dad myself, i nearly cried at that line. Taylor is one of the best songwriters I've ever heard. She is such a wonderful musician. She is so very much more than the "Queen of Pop", that's almost an insult ..

[@agusdellelce4943]

I don't want to imagine what it would have been like to read the blog after the death of his son through his mother. Rip ronan

[@johntogyi1136]

As a dad of a current cancer survivor, this song hits hard. It's just short of 7 years of his diagnosis, and 4.5 years of No Evidence of Disease(NED) and six months until he is declared in remission(80% of kids with Wilms Tumor make it to 5 years). I have seen far too many parents go through what Ronan's mom went through. Sadly only about 4% (might be up to 5% now) of monies generated to cancer research go to children's cancer research. I hope this interest in this song will help raise further awareness of this massive shortfall in research dollars.

[@sursh1429]

i'm deeply sorry for what you're going through and i'm sending all my love and support to your child. Life is sometimes indescribably cruel but i hope it's kind to you and your family in the end

[@tayonbway]

This is such an amazing song, it's hard to not cry while listening to it. Taylor is such an amazing person for being able to write this song and perform it, all my prayers go out to those who have loved ones with cancer or anyone who lost a loved one to cancer. May Ronan rest in peace.

[@benhansen768]

I’m changing the lyrics bc I lost my biggest support system and this song now makes me cry. Rest In Peace Ronan and Gram Gram. Fu to my bio grandma 😭

[@hannahmontana4401]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I can relate to what your going through losing a grandparent

[@AmyLopez-d6b]

I really try not to cry because it's so sad, like this is one of taylor Swift songs that can make me cry.

[@patrickdonley834]

Taylor has to be brave. She looks heartwrenched and honest.

[@ArmandoPR-cy5up]

@ tayonbway I agree

[@1989swiftie5]

You can see her eyes watering. She is so emotional showing how much she really cares. Rip Ronan💔

[@Gavaldo]

It’s hard to not get emotional just watching Taylor perform this beautiful song. She sings it so beautifully but you can see she’s holding back the emotion. Gorgeous. ♥️🥲♥️

[@thisisajang]

Taylor only have performed this song live twice, first at Stand Up To Cancer charity show back in 2012 and the second was in this concert in Glendale in 2015, with Ronan's family in attendance. Right before the concert, Taylor met the family in the backstage.

[@madisonstruck]

ronans mum is supposedly coming to the eras tour, the show in philadelphia on the 12th of may (ronans 16th birthday) so taylor might sing it then for a surprise song

I'm glad Ronan is on red Taylors version, now scooter won't benefit from it,

[@thomascampbell350]

The fact that he owned it for any amount of time makes me sick to my stomach

[@livsclosett]

Thank god he didn’t make money from it

[@MarshallLando]

first time watching Ronan live... i'm broken now

[@holaeedu]

this is one of those Taylor songs that feels so personal that I just don't listen to it, I've listened it a couple of times and that's it, I just can't, it's heart wrenching.

[@tzking7640]

You can tell that Taylor writes and sings from her heart cause it hits you in your heart

[@URHeartlessCrazyB69]

Such a beautiful but sad song. Rest in Peace Ronan

[@dawson2k.07]

i just know everyone in the crowd was devastated after this song

[@michaelhurley3171]

This and Clapton's Tears in Heaven are the saddest songs ever made, but they're both great songs.

[@tiasnails3552]

i apparently want to cry late at night. God this song is so sad

[@lisaswifey]

This is by far one of her saddest songs. Rest easy Ronan. She did an amazing job on this song. My condolences to Ronan’s family. Awesome job Taylor swift.

[@aeri_taylors-version]

this song is so beautiful but also so devastating

[@Unxgamilcver]

[@Finzerland]

I don’t have children yet, but becoming a mother one day is my dearest wish in this world. This song breaks my heart every time, I can’t listen to it without tears running through my face. It is terrifying to imagine the feelings Ronan’s mother experienced, and imagining it could also happen to you. Absolutely beautiful song ❤

[@abbinorth55]

God I love her so much. she’s incredible.

[@emmapanzica]

May Ronan Rest In Peace always! Good bless all who’ve had to go through this.❤️🙏🏻

Wow! I had no idea she made the mom cowriter. Thats so amazing. We don’t deserve Taylor 😢

[@samconnor5203]

What a tear-jerker song. But, an awesome tribute from Taylor to a wonderful boy, taken from his family way too soon. I hope and pray the funds that result are used to cure this terrible disease.

[@Gracieabram]

This song never fails to make me cry ❤❤😢

[@herdbarus-gunning6501]

Loved it when I heard it on stand up 2 cancer and now even more I believe she is a beautiful human!

[@elenamarzan2799]

My heart hurts profoundly listening to this and the story of how it was written...I'm crying a sea of tears for any mum that has to go through losing her precious child, to cancer, other illness or to war... 💔💔💔 Thank you

i can see that taylor almost is to crying there the voice crack and the tone. R.I.P Ronan

[@Gavaldo]

Taylor had this amazing knack of still performing live beautifully even when it’s clear she’s holding back so many emotions throughout this song. It’s truly amazing and gorgeous. The vocals are perfect. Listening in July 2024 I can’t believe how amazing she looks and sounds but over the last decade Taylor has managed to create so many amazing songs that strike you straight in your heart that you can’t help feeling the emotion with her voice and songs. It’s a truly incredible live performance. What a wonderful gorgeous woman Taylor is. I’m blown away by Taylor her songwriting style is absolutely incredible. So heartbreaking but her empathy shows through all her sad songs. Love love love it. 💔♥️💔

[@kristenholmes9898]

This is my first time seeing this and or hearing this story and I am absolutely heartbroken and completely amazed at the same time. I've never really been familiar with Taylor's music but I have ALWAYS loved her as a person and this is only one reason why. She truly is a beautiful person inside and out.

[@MoriahFromm]

Being a childhood cancer survivor I know that childhood cancer is one of the biggest challenges 😢 Rest easy Ronan

[@lynvallega603]

I love this song back when it's first release I even playing it in my guitar back then. But now I'm a mother this song hits you really hard every lyrics of it. And one thing I am always thankful about is my 2year old boy will be healthy all the time. I am so thankful that God sent me an Angel. ❤ #RonanYouAreStillRemembered

[@hannahmontana4401]

"Come on baby with me we're gonna fly away from here"Kills you and rips your heart out

WORDS FAIL ME ! This is so (sososo) intensely emotional! 😭😭 Taylor - I have to kneel for everything you stand for! I did not get to know Ronan but after I have listened to this song the first time I cannot help the feeling that this is a thing I have missed in my life without any chance to catch up. I feel soo sorry for you Ronan and I hope we will have the chance to meet in another life... someday... Tay, Maya, RONAN - love ya all! ❤❤

I remember your bare feet down the hallway I remember your little laugh Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs I love you to the moon and back I remember your blue eyes looking into mine Like we had our own secret club I remember you dancing before bed time Then jumpin' on me, wakin' me up I can still feel you hold my hand, little man And even the moment I knew You fought it hard like an army guy Remember I leaned in and whispered to you Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best four years I remember the drive home When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming "Why?" Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say About a beautiful boy who died And it's about to be Halloween You could be anything you wanted if you were still here I remember the last day when I kissed your face And whispered in your ear Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here Out of this curtained room in this hospital grey, we'll just disappear Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best four years What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you? What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into? And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through? What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you? Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best four years I remember your bare feet down the hallway I love you to the moon and back

You can tell she struggles to sing this. I honestly, don’t know how she gets through it. I can’t sing it with her when listening without breaking down and I don’t know the family.
