Taylor Swift's new song **warning: child loss mentioned**

Has anyone heard about this?  If it's already been discussed, then just ignore me.  But I just got done sobbing while watching the clip of her singing the song and then reading some of the blog so I thought I'd make y'all cry too. 

Ronan was diagnosed with cancer in August 2010 (the month DD was born) and passed away last May.  He has to be one of the most beautiful little boys I've ever seen.  His mom kept a blog, which somehow Taylor Swift found and wanted to turn into a song.  She used the mom's actual words in the song.  Break.my.heart.

  • I am one of the few who said that I love Taylor in the thread from yesterday.  This only reinforces that.  That was an absolutely heartwrenching song and blog post.

    I can. I am a mess right now, but there is a warning...it's a beautiful song.

    Now I'm a big ball of tears.  It's heartbreaking - absolutely heartbreaking.

    Me too.  Seflishly, I know, this was even harder for me because the big blue eyes remind me of Aiden.  I'm not a Taylor Swift fan musically but she does seem to be a sweet person.

    Me too! I think most evidence shows she's a really sweet, thoughtful, intelligent, passionate girl. Excellent role model.

    This is my siggy. Love it.

  • Taylor Swift is an awesome lady!  Like I said in the other thread, she doesn't have the greatest singing voice, but there are many reasons to love her.  What a genuine person in an ingenuine world. 

    My heart really breaks for this mama.  What a sad loss of a beautiful little boy.

    I guess I can amend my dislike with the caveat that, as a "singer", I really don't find her to be anything special.

    As a person, she's adorable.  But since she markets herself as a singer, that was the basis for my commentary.

    Yeah, I get what you're saying.  I enjoy her music.  I think of her as more of a song writer that preforms her own songs.  She doesn't have a terrible voice by any means.  She can play and write her own music.  The girl has talent.  Singing just isn't her best talent.

    I agree with this completely.  I see her as more of a song writer.  Her songs are lovely.  Her voice is ok.  But she seems like a great person.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

  • I don't care for her one way or another, but I am sitting here bawling at the loss of that beautiful boy.  Also, raising awareness for childhood cancer and donating 100% of the songs proceeds is awesome in my book.

  • wow. this is so heartbreaking yet uplifting all at the same time, DD and I watched it together and she hugged and kissed me as I cried and I couldn't help but just feel so much for that mother and any mother going through this. I just pray that I never have to look this reality in the face. What a very beautiful song.
