I am truly shocked at the people who dislike Taylor Swift. I have never understood it and figured it was just jealousy, Her actions, her words, the music.....if you are judging someone based on what they do, then her actions speak loudly. What a wonderful song about a wonderful little boy.
@@bonnieflynn4798 Because she is dabbling in politics and thats never a good place for an entertainer to go. They are seldom that informed but listen to the loudest voices. That doesn't mean that an artist doesn't still have some redeeming points.
When Taylor got in contact with Maya, she asked if she could write a song about Ronan and donate all the proseeds from the song to cancer research. Taylor also asked for permission to use some of Maya's words from her blog to write the song. So Maya didn't acttually sit down write te song with Taylor but Taylor put her as a co-writer because she used things Maya said on her blog
She’s one of those performers that’s just nice! That co-writer credit is going to be quite the blessing for Maya going forward a cause she’ll get a stipend for every copy sold, whether single or album, as well as a stipend every time the song is played. This Taylor Swift is one brutal business person;)!!
This just demonstrates the kind of kind and caring person Taylor Swift I wish her and Travis all the best. I can’t wait to see the on the field with the Lombardi. HBTC!!!!
@@Chiefs-rulead95 Ima thinkin that Mr Irrelevant is going to bring the niners home with the Lombardi trophy! In the history of the term Mr Irrelevant I don’t think the last pick in the draft led a team to the Super Bowl, how fo you not root for him to lead his team to the championship of the league!
@@kevinmcconnell3641 you forgot that grocery stocker Non drafted Kurt Warner won a Super Bowl and played in 3 so we’ve already seen that movie it’s time to relive the dominance of teams like the 80’s lakers or the 90’s bulls Long live the Chiefs and Sir Patrick Mahomes
Kids are many things in one big bundle of Joy !!! My best laughs came from my kids , the hardest was when they left for Collage and we were left with this house full of quiet loneliness . They grew up , they/ we have a life to live , we move on that's life 😏😒🤔😊
You instinctively held your lady's hand when you sensed she was hurting, you wiped her tears before you thought about it. Well done, brother man, well done.
This song hits so strong. My son tried to take his life in 2007 and is no longer mentally with us. I mourn him every day. He is in a 24 hour supervision facility, as it’s more than we can physically handle. This changed our whole family. I will never quit missing my son.
I am so sorry that your family and your son is going through this. It's a very difficult journey you are on and I hope you all find some peace and calm and healing somehow 🤗🙏🏼
My late boyfriend, Alex, died in the ICU of an undiagnosed heart condition seven years ago. We were together for 2 months shy of seven years. This song calls to mind those last days of holding his hand and telling him how very LOVED he was. We knew that he wasn't going to make it, but I wished so hard that the doctors were wrong right up until his heart stopped beating. I miss my sweet man.
Taylor's own mom had cancer That's how she came across this story Ronans mom had a blog about this And taylor discovered and gave the mom songwriting credits on this song Taylor also has a song about her moms cancer called soon you'll get better You should take a look at that as well
@@LeahJo13 yeah, Andrea's first diagnosis was 2015, so three years after the first version of Ronan was released in 2012. But Soon You'll Get Better is definitely worth them reacting to if they haven't already
check out soprano opera/ x over singer, patricia janeckova, on you tube, who died aged 25, from breast cancer, on october 1st last year, six weeks after getting married! recommended songs are 'once upon a time in the west', 'meine lippen', 'pie jesu', 'ave maria, 'think of me', 'breaking of the fellowship' from 'lord of the rings' & 'the doll song'!!
Oh no, I didn't know "Soon You'll Get Better" was about Taylor's mom. Now it's gonna be even harder for me to listen to, but it certainly explains why I immediately connected it to my dad's cancer.
I lost my only son to a tragic accident in 2015. He was 39. Our favorite I love you was : i love you bigger than the big blue sky. Forever and forever. I miss him so much. This song really touched my heart in a special way. He was the best 39 years of my life. I have one daughter. I love her just the same. My heart breaks for this precious Mom. God bless you Taylor Swift. ❤
This is killing me at 1:12 am. My daughter is the biggest Taylor fan and she’s dying from an undiagnosed and unknown disease. It’s breaks my heart every day but I still have to smile.
I'm sobbing. I hadn't heard this song yet. I'm a new Swiftie working my way thru her discography. She has such a way with lyrics. I love both of you. Ignore haters. I've often said when covid hit so did the bitchiness virus. They're both still alive and well. Just do you. You're fine as you are.
Taylor wrote the song using Maya´s words (from the blogg after asking for permission from Maya) to write the song and then gave Maya songwriting credits and the royalties of the song. They are now very close friends❤
That song absolutely broke me down right now my 21 year-old daughter fighting brain cancer. She has two weeks days left to live. I heard that song I was at hospice with her crying my eyes out.
How could anyone not like you? I’ve saw you in a couple of these videos and always think you’re so likeable individually and as a couple. Don’t let it get to you x
Well as Taylor Swift sings..."Haters are going hate,hate,hate...Shake it off.." Ali you are amazing and I love when you both react too. When I had my kids everyone was saying "I love you to the moon and back" well I changed it to "I love yOu to Heaven and Back!" I lost my oldest when he was 22 (25 days before he turned 23) ...its been almost 11 yrs and I miss him so much.
I've never heard this song! OMG... MY HEART!!! TY Taylor Swift for being such a beautiful soul! His little eyes! My Mom would say that "I love you to the Moon and back" she passed from cancer. Ally don't let them haters steal your light! You're beautiful, You're such a good soul! Don't let the devil in the haters words get in! There only words!
This is her saddest song. It’s literally the hardest and most painful thing that can happen. Red is a very sad record. All too Well comes in as her second saddest song but Ronan- I can’t even listen to it. ❤️
To Ronon’s mother: I can’t imagine how difficult life is without Ronan. God Bless You! I am the mother of 3 grown children. This song tore my heart out 💔. You will forever be in my prayers! If I get to Heaven before you do I Promise You, I Will Hug Your Son Forever! ❤️
Taylor also has only performed this song twice, once for stand up to cancer charity and another time when the Thompson family attended the 1989 tour :(
She performed the song on the current Eras Tour as well, as one of the two surprise acoustic songs of the night. I believe it was the night of Ronan's would be birthday and his mom was invited to the show.
You guys just have a really nice relationship and connection. I can see it through the camera. So beautiful to see you both being so supportive of each other.
You're the best Ally. And my absolute favorite videos are the ones with you. In fact I think I have only watched 2 or 3 that didn't feature you in them! I love your insight and how you catch specific lyrics. Also how you teach Sebs English stuff.
Ali, don't let those people get to you, there is a saying that you can please people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Some people just aren't worth losing sleep over. You guys are great.
all the streams of this song also go to the ronan foundation/ childhood cancer research also taylor invited Maya and Ronans little sister (born after he passed) to the eras tour on his birthday in the vip tent
When this song first came out, I was pregnant with my oldest. I bawled like a baby. Now I have 2 boys and I still cry every time I hear this. It's some of her best songwriting and I love it for how well it captures those moments and all that emotion. But damn if it doesn't break my heart every time.
I love Ali. She is intelligent and compassionate and a good and kind friend to her partner, who according to him also broadens his world because of the light she shines on all topics of life and meanings, plus she seems like a great and devoted loving mom 🌹❤ Ali and Debs look like a great team to me who are truly in it together for the long run and that's inspiring to watch. Keep it up and keep it coming
This song slayed me when I heard it the first time 8 years ago. Taylor took words from Wendy’s blog about her son to write the song. My best friend from high school didn’t lose her 5 year old daughter Amber to cancer, but the carelessness of two drunk drivers who were drag racing their vehicles in the opposite direction. It was 2/11/2011 when Michelle and Amber were having a girls day and while they were getting ready for the day, Amber asked what God’s face looked like. Michelle was hurt bad in the accident also, so when she was given the news that Amber had been killed instantly in the crash, she was understandably devastated. She was then able to hold Amber until she had to go to surgery. Amber’s funeral was one of the hardest experiences ever. At her graveside we released balloons and they formed into the shape of a heart and we all took comfort from it. Like she was saying it’s all going to be okay I know what God looks like now! The trials for the mfers who killed her were horrible and the guy who hit them head on got off Scott free. Michele and her husband weathered the storm by keeping Amber still ever present to this day. Last year she should have graduated from high school and Amber’s parents started a scholarship in her name for one boy and one girl in Clearwater, KS. They are incredible people and I learned a lot about grief with God’s grace.
And to think that boy Ronan, with a smile on his face and not a hair on his head has no idea about dying or that he is dying. A tender song by T Swift. Thanks for your sharing this on your channel. Regards from a non-hater. 💗The greatest of all!
You both are great (and so is Taylor). Don’t listen to the haters they’re probably jealous of you! I love this saying “what people think of you is none of your business”. The most freeing day of my life was when I went back to not caring what people thought about me (at work) and being me. They have no control over you and your life, ignore them.
This song hits so hard. My 18-year old son was in a head-on collision on his way home his first year of university. He lived, but now 10 years later, he remains in this limbo land between coma and alert, called a minimal state of consciousness. We care for him at home. About 3 months ago, he said Mom out of nowhere. He also tried to say Da. We never lose hope and my heart goes out to other parents that have lost a child.❤
@@trish5864 Thank you so much. We are Christians and believe the prayers from friends and family are what have lifted us up and supported us through the years. Your kind words mean everything to us.
I lost my ten year old daughter in a tragic sudden car accident a long with my best friend and I’m here to say no parent should have to experience this in a lifetime.
Ally seems like such a sweet woman. Don't listen to those people. They probably have miserable lives. They hide behind their devices & spew their hate. You two are a great couple.
Great reaction! I cried, too. Ali: You're great! Try to forget the people who thrive on being mean to others. There is no basis in reality. It only tells you about them, not you.
Ally, I love the videos with you in them. PLEASE don’t let any of the haters get to you. You are beautiful, and you have a very gentle, and kind aura about you. Sending kindness and hugs your way ❤
Thank you for the reaction, so glad you got to hear it. Tell Ali we think she is wonderful and don't let anyone tell you anything else. Too much negativity in the world as it is. Be safe and take care. :)
I think haters should f-off! Ali, you’re great, I know it’s difficult but please ignore them. You’re beautiful and Sebs loves you, your kids & all your family love you, that’s a million times more important than idiots who have too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than be mean. You’re better than all of those morons. Love to you & Sebs, from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸💞
Now that you've seen the video (and how beautiful Ronan was). You NEED to see the first time she performed it live at StandUp2Cancer fundraiser. It's amazing she was able to get through it, but she did it for Ronan and his mom (who was backstage). Fun fact: Taylor rarely performs this song live and she will only do it with Roman's moms' blessing (usually when she's at the show).
OMG. I'm right there with you guys. My grandson was diagnosed with leukemia at 4. In our case, he was able to recover after an eight year fight for remission. Heartbreaking. My 2nd grandson, is far worse, so much that I can't even share. To difficult.
So the story behind the song is that maya was chronicling the blog and when Taylor was looking for how to deal with a family member who has cancer bc Taylor’s mom has battled cancer for years. She found the blog, and decided to take Mayas own words from the blog and wrote the song. So the song is in mayas words. They didn’t sit down and wrote the song together, rather Taylor used her storytelling skills to add to Mayas own blog entries. Ronans family receives all songwriting royalties from the song because Taylor gave maya the songwriting credit.
Volunteer at local hospital that has/ is treating out/in cancer patients. The doctors and nurses are there to administer medicine (and are usually swamped) whilst you can provide the "comfort" part of patient care (bringing warm blanks, drinks, snacks, video games, movies, board games, books and on. I started when I retired @ 64 years old am kicking myself for not doing it earlier. Ohhh yeah, my first time hearing "Ronan" was during a yearly "Remembrance" gathering and I still cry each and every time I hear it, it is impossible to not.
One the the most beautiful yet heart wrenching song Taylor has ever written.. No one can be ready for the song Ali. Even if u've heard it after 13 thousand times..
Taylor was involved in this little boys life. That’s why she says you were my best 4 years. She came upon him on one of her children’s hospital visits and grew to really love him. I’m going to cry all through this..
Hey Ali, I don’t usually comment on TH-cam videos but I wanted to try to add some positivity to counter the negative comments out there. I’ve watched a bunch of your reactions and I’m just shocked to hear you got so much negativity, I think you’re delightful and seem like the kind of person I’d want to hang out with. Try not to let the haters get you down, but I know that’s easier said than done. In the words of Taylor Swift, “you are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know or care about you” 🩵
She asked mom’s permission to use her blog as inspiration. Of course she said yes. What she didn’t know was that Taylor added Maya as co-writer so that Maya could get royalties.
Beautiful reaction to such an absolutely heartbreaking song. Also please let Ali know that ahe is a treasure. I love when ahe is in your reaction videos. Ali you are amazing
Such a sad song, beautiful but hard to listen to, I cried with you. Loved your comments on taking the pain and doing something good with it and thanks for sharing your own stories. As for the comments from the other video, don't take the bad comments to heart. I really love your reactions, the both of you bounce off each other so well and are really fun to watch.
Ali, i hope you read all the positive messages here. You are such a great Mom and wife. This is such a beautiful song for a sweet angel. It made me ugly cry,too 😭
Love you Allie !! The nursery rhyme of sticks and stones can break my bounds, but words can never harm me, is so untrue you can heal from cuts and bones. But you never forget those words . Love your cooking show anything you put out is so cheerful and family orientated I love it! Loved it
Ali don't let a few negative comments dictate what you do. I think you two are sweet together in these and there are always somebody that's unhappy with themselves.
First time listening. Ali I don’t know why anyone would not like you being on here. But I think you have a great voice and you are beautiful with a beautiful name. Have a great night. And this is a very sad song. Little children shouldn’t die young. Sadly it happens. 😢😢 ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I am a life-long country music fan.. it's always just been a part of my life..a part of me. I can't say that if asked who my favorite country artist yesterday or even today that Toby Keith would have been on my list. But waking up to the news of his death it's ready hit me hard.. I'm still crying this morning. I don't understand why.. when I first heard of his passing I thought of you. I only recently (3 months or so) started watching you and I saw what an impact he made on you. You GOT him and his humor. I saw you light up when reacting to his videos. BUT you have only scratched the surface of his wealth of songs! Don't stop now! lol ❤❤
You both are wonderful people who just like a lot of us showed you’re emotions . I totally cannot understand people who rite in hateful comments . I just think that they are jealous . You are a beautiful lady and your husband is handsome . Keep doing what you both enjoy doing haters never win
I don’t know what people were saying about Ali but she seems like a lovely person and loves Serbs very much. Don’t pay attention to those who are tearing you down.
You hit it right on the head when you said you don't get over it. My family still can't talk about our little guy without crying, and I can't handle seeing anything to do with kids having cancer. Movies, music, TV, books...nothing. This song reduces me to ugly sobbing every time. I almost never listen to it because of that.
As a loss mom myself, i just want to say thank you for reacting to this. Most people skip it and it always makes me feel like crap. Yeah it's tragic but it happened and this helps the world remember him. Sometimes I feel like no one remembers my son but my husband and I. Child loss is taboo and no one wants to talk about it but it happens. You're absolutely right about trying to do something positive to remember them because it's truly all you can do. Great reaction. ❤️
I just discovered the two of you today and spent most of the day listening to your stuff. I am a 70 year old grandmother (my grandchildren will tell you that I am the “cool” nana). I love the two of you reviewing both new and old music. Your reactions touch my heart. Love you both. Ps. There are always haters just for haters sake. Don’t listen!
Wait what??? I think you are lovely in the videos. Especially so. I watch videos especially because you're there. Thank you for being there. You're a nice person. I pick out the videos where you're there. I think some people are just weird about change if they were used to another format before. All I know is, I seek out these videos with you in it BECAUSE of you :)
You two are totally awesome... not a fan really of Taylor Swift.... but definetely a fan of y'all.. Everyone will have haters from time to time. They almost caused one of my favorite youtubers to quit... but thank goodness... he decided to continue. So much hate any more. Love you guys.. just block the negative wimps... they are miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too. ❤ Y'all
Ail I am so sorry you felt extra emotional in this video because of some people's carelessness or stupidity, but please know that that makes you even more beautiful because only a strong and deep loving heart can be genuinely sensitive and open. That makes you a strong and real person. Have a great day today
I think she was researching cancer, because Taylor's mom had it and still does, so Taylor wrote it by herself but she also took sentences and references for ronan's mom blog that told all about him, so she decided that the mother deserved the credit of writing it alongside her.
also, ronan's mom had a baby girl and taylor became her godmother! and the money the music produced go to both his family and to researching childhood cancer organizations, she's a good soul, miss swift!
I have been thinking about it and if someone made a mashup of soon you will get better, ronan and bigger than the whole sky... It will be the sobfest that i will play on loop. The three songs together would so beautifully capture loss and grief ( I am speaking from the place of understanding those experiences)
I am truly shocked at the people who dislike Taylor Swift. I have never understood it and figured it was just jealousy, Her actions, her words, the music.....if you are judging someone based on what they do, then her actions speak loudly. What a wonderful song about a wonderful little boy.
Me too! I did not know.
She’s so awesome!
Taylor also invited Maya to attend the Philadelphia Era’s tour show that she performed on the day Ronan would have turned 16 years old.
That was the Friday night show. People wore Ronan bracelets.
How anyone can not love this woman is beyond me
@@bonnieflynn4798 Because she is dabbling in politics and thats never a good place for an entertainer to go. They are seldom that informed but listen to the loudest voices. That doesn't mean that an artist doesn't still have some redeeming points.

It's one of those songs that never looses it's impact. The level of songwriting skill and the empathy Taylor had to write this.

No casket should be that small
Mine was “what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into” 😭😭
The most heart wrenching words 😢

You're the best Ally. And my absolute favorite videos are the ones with you. In fact I think I have only watched 2 or 3 that didn't feature you in them! I love your insight and how you catch specific lyrics. Also how you teach Sebs English stuff.
I am devastated that people were hateful to Ali. You are a precious soul
Ali, don't let those people get to you, there is a saying that you can please people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Some people just aren't worth losing sleep over. You guys are great.
all the streams of this song also go to the ronan foundation/ childhood cancer research
also taylor invited Maya and Ronans little sister (born after he passed) to the eras tour on his birthday in the vip tent
When this song first came out, I was pregnant with my oldest. I bawled like a baby. Now I have 2 boys and I still cry every time I hear this. It's some of her best songwriting and I love it for how well it captures those moments and all that emotion. But damn if it doesn't break my heart every time.
I love Ali. She is intelligent and compassionate and a good and kind friend to her partner, who according to him also broadens his world because of the light she shines on all topics of life and meanings, plus she seems like a great and devoted loving mom 🌹❤ Ali and Debs look like a great team to me who are truly in it together for the long run and that's inspiring to watch. Keep it up and keep it coming
queen we absolutely LOVE having you in these videos, people are just jealous, i think you add a lot to these reactions you’re also beautiful 😻
This song slayed me when I heard it the first time 8 years ago. Taylor took words from Wendy’s blog about her son to write the song.
My best friend from high school didn’t lose her 5 year old daughter Amber to cancer, but the carelessness of two drunk drivers who were drag racing their vehicles in the opposite direction. It was 2/11/2011 when Michelle and Amber were having a girls day and while they were getting ready for the day, Amber asked what God’s face looked like. Michelle was hurt bad in the accident also, so when she was given the news that Amber had been killed instantly in the crash, she was understandably devastated. She was then able to hold Amber until she had to go to surgery.
Amber’s funeral was one of the hardest experiences ever. At her graveside we released balloons and they formed into the shape of a heart and we all took comfort from it. Like she was saying it’s all going to be okay I know what God looks like now!
The trials for the mfers who killed her were horrible and the guy who hit them head on got off Scott free.
Michele and her husband weathered the storm by keeping Amber still ever present to this day. Last year she should have graduated from high school and Amber’s parents started a scholarship in her name for one boy and one girl in Clearwater, KS.
They are incredible people and I learned a lot about grief with God’s grace.
You are not ugly crying! Yes, you are showing love. I have never heard this song and cried my eyes out.
And to think that boy Ronan, with a smile on his face and not a hair on his head has no idea about dying or that he is dying. A tender song by T Swift. Thanks for your sharing this on your channel. Regards from a non-hater. 💗The greatest of all!
this song never fails to get me crying. You guys are amazing, ignore the haters!
You both are great (and so is Taylor). Don’t listen to the haters they’re probably jealous of you! I love this saying “what people think of you is none of your business”. The most freeing day of my life was when I went back to not caring what people thought about me (at work) and being me. They have no control over you and your life, ignore them.
This song hits so hard. My 18-year old son was in a head-on collision on his way home his first year of university. He lived, but now 10 years later, he remains in this limbo land between coma and alert, called a minimal state of consciousness. We care for him at home. About 3 months ago, he said Mom out of nowhere. He also tried to say Da. We never lose hope and my heart goes out to other parents that have lost a child.❤
Praying one day your son will totally awaken 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@trish5864 Thank you so much. We are Christians and believe the prayers from friends and family are what have lifted us up and supported us through the years. Your kind words mean everything to us.
Prayers for your family
I lost my ten year old daughter in a tragic sudden car accident a long with my best friend and I’m here to say no parent should have to experience this in a lifetime.
You make these taylor swift videos even better with your presence ally ❤
Ally seems like such a sweet woman. Don't listen to those people. They probably have miserable lives. They hide behind their devices & spew their hate. You two are a great couple.
Great reaction! I cried, too. Ali: You're great! Try to forget the people who thrive on being mean to others. There is no basis in reality. It only tells you about them, not you.
I think this song’s debut was on one of the Stand Up To Cancer TV charity drive. It’s so beautiful and sad. 💔
Ally, I love the videos with you in them. PLEASE don’t let any of the haters get to you. You are beautiful, and you have a very gentle, and kind aura about you. Sending kindness and hugs your way ❤
Thank you for the reaction, so glad you got to hear it. Tell Ali we think she is wonderful and don't let anyone tell you anything else. Too much negativity in the world as it is. Be safe and take care. :)
I think haters should f-off! Ali, you’re great, I know it’s difficult but please ignore them. You’re beautiful and Sebs loves you, your kids & all your family love you, that’s a million times more important than idiots who have too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than be mean. You’re better than all of those morons. Love to you & Sebs, from Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸💞
Wow, what a song and what a message.
Now that you've seen the video (and how beautiful Ronan was). You NEED to see the first time she performed it live at StandUp2Cancer fundraiser. It's amazing she was able to get through it, but she did it for Ronan and his mom (who was backstage).
Fun fact: Taylor rarely performs this song live and she will only do it with Roman's moms' blessing (usually when she's at the show).
Yet another example of Taylor's class. She knows that she doesn't own this song.
Allie, you're amazing. I dont appreciate people hurting you, I think you're input was special. You're great. Hang in there baby!
OMG. I'm right there with you guys. My grandson was diagnosed with leukemia at 4. In our case, he was able to recover after an eight year fight for remission. Heartbreaking. My 2nd grandson, is far worse, so much that I can't even share. To difficult.
I have never once made it through this song without crying. Ally, you're awesome! Don't let the haters tell you any different.
I think that Taylor’s country music background really helped her with her song writing. I’ve never heard this song before but I loved the words.
So the story behind the song is that maya was chronicling the blog and when Taylor was looking for how to deal with a family member who has cancer bc Taylor’s mom has battled cancer for years. She found the blog, and decided to take Mayas own words from the blog and wrote the song. So the song is in mayas words. They didn’t sit down and wrote the song together, rather Taylor used her storytelling skills to add to Mayas own blog entries. Ronans family receives all songwriting royalties from the song because Taylor gave maya the songwriting credit.
Taylor's mom wasn't diagnosed after Taylor had written that song?
Volunteer at local hospital that has/ is treating out/in cancer patients.
The doctors and nurses are there to administer medicine (and are usually swamped) whilst you can provide the "comfort" part of patient care (bringing warm blanks, drinks, snacks, video games, movies, board games, books and on.
I started when I retired @ 64 years old am kicking myself for not doing it earlier.
Ohhh yeah, my first time hearing "Ronan" was during a yearly "Remembrance" gathering and I still cry each and every time I hear it, it is impossible to not.
One the the most beautiful yet heart wrenching song Taylor has ever written..
No one can be ready for the song Ali. Even if u've heard it after 13 thousand times..
Taylor was involved in this little boys life. That’s why she says you were my best 4 years. She came upon him on one of her children’s hospital visits and grew to really love him. I’m going to cry all through this..
Taylor never met ronan. She came across mama maya's blog's about rockstar ronan, but he was already gone...
Why are you spreading false info....
Hey Ali, I don’t usually comment on TH-cam videos but I wanted to try to add some positivity to counter the negative comments out there. I’ve watched a bunch of your reactions and I’m just shocked to hear you got so much negativity, I think you’re delightful and seem like the kind of person I’d want to hang out with. Try not to let the haters get you down, but I know that’s easier said than done. In the words of Taylor Swift, “you are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know or care about you” 🩵
Thank you both for doing this request, the pain for someone else’s loss was felt with Taylor’s incredible way with lyrics. ❤️❤️
She asked mom’s permission to use her blog as inspiration. Of course she said yes. What she didn’t know was that Taylor added Maya as co-writer so that Maya could get royalties.
Beautiful reaction to such an absolutely heartbreaking song.
Also please let Ali know that ahe is a treasure. I love when ahe is in your reaction videos.
Ali you are amazing
Nice seeing you Ally! Don’t listen to the haters!! I love when you’re here with your hubby ❤
Love your reactions ❤ So sad people need to put others down like that. Bless you and your family 🙏
IF YOU WATCHED HER LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THIS, YOU WOULD CRY YOUR EYES OUT 😭
Such a sad song, beautiful but hard to listen to, I cried with you. Loved your comments on taking the pain and doing something good with it and thanks for sharing your own stories. As for the comments from the other video, don't take the bad comments to heart. I really love your reactions, the both of you bounce off each other so well and are really fun to watch.
I enjoy seeing the two of you together! I can’t imagine why people feel the need to be mean. Trust me, you are both adorable!
Ally adds so much to your videos. F the haters
Ali, i hope you read all the positive messages here. You are such a great Mom and wife. This is such a beautiful song for a sweet angel. It made me ugly cry,too 😭
Love you Allie !! The nursery rhyme of sticks and stones can break my bounds, but words can never harm me, is so untrue you can heal from cuts and bones. But you never forget those words . Love your cooking show anything you put out is so cheerful and family orientated I love it! Loved it
OMG, I’ve never heard this song before and I’m sobbing. So beautiful!
Ali don't let a few negative comments dictate what you do. I think you two are sweet together in these and there are always somebody that's unhappy with themselves.
First time listening. Ali I don’t know why anyone would not like you being on here. But I think you have a great voice and you are beautiful with a beautiful name. Have a great night. And this is a very sad song. Little children shouldn’t die young. Sadly it happens. 😢😢 ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I am a life-long country music fan.. it's always just been a part of my life..a part of me. I can't say that if asked who my favorite country artist yesterday or even today that Toby Keith would have been on my list. But waking up to the news of his death it's ready hit me hard.. I'm still crying this morning. I don't understand why.. when I first heard of his passing I thought of you. I only recently (3 months or so) started watching you and I saw what an impact he made on you. You GOT him and his humor. I saw you light up when reacting to his videos. BUT you have only scratched the surface of his wealth of songs! Don't stop now! lol
❤❤
You're the best Ally. And my absolute favorite videos are the ones with you!!!!
You both are wonderful people who just like a lot of us showed you’re emotions . I totally cannot understand people who rite in hateful comments . I just think that they are jealous . You are a beautiful lady and your husband is handsome . Keep doing what you both enjoy doing haters never win
I cry every time I hear this song.
I don’t know what people were saying about Ali but she seems like a lovely person and loves Serbs very much. Don’t pay attention to those who are tearing you down.
You hit it right on the head when you said you don't get over it. My family still can't talk about our little guy without crying, and I can't handle seeing anything to do with kids having cancer. Movies, music, TV, books...nothing. This song reduces me to ugly sobbing every time. I almost never listen to it because of that.
As a loss mom myself, i just want to say thank you for reacting to this. Most people skip it and it always makes me feel like crap. Yeah it's tragic but it happened and this helps the world remember him. Sometimes I feel like no one remembers my son but my husband and I. Child loss is taboo and no one wants to talk about it but it happens. You're absolutely right about trying to do something positive to remember them because it's truly all you can do. Great reaction. ❤️
I just discovered the two of you today and spent most of the day listening to your stuff. I am a 70 year old grandmother (my grandchildren will tell you that I am the “cool” nana). I love the two of you reviewing both new and old music. Your reactions touch my heart. Love you both.
Ps. There are always haters just for haters sake. Don’t listen!
Screw them! You are amazing! I haven't even watched this reaction yet, but need to just throw that out there first!
Wait what??? I think you are lovely in the videos. Especially so. I watch videos especially because you're there. Thank you for being there. You're a nice person. I pick out the videos where you're there. I think some people are just weird about change if they were used to another format before. All I know is, I seek out these videos with you in it BECAUSE of you :)
You two are totally awesome... not a fan really of Taylor Swift.... but definetely a fan of y'all.. Everyone will have haters from time to time. They almost caused one of my favorite youtubers to quit... but thank goodness... he decided to continue. So much hate any more. Love you guys.. just block the negative wimps... they are miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too.
❤ Y'all
Ail I am so sorry you felt extra emotional in this video because of some people's carelessness or stupidity, but please know that that makes you even more beautiful because only a strong and deep loving heart can be genuinely sensitive and open. That makes you a strong and real person. Have a great day today
I think she was researching cancer, because Taylor's mom had it and still does, so Taylor wrote it by herself but she also took sentences and references for ronan's mom blog that told all about him, so she decided that the mother deserved the credit of writing it alongside her.
also, ronan's mom had a baby girl and taylor became her godmother! and the money the music produced go to both his family and to researching childhood cancer organizations, she's a good soul, miss swift!
SO GLAD YOUR DOING THIS SUB LOVES YOU
This song is both beautiful and heart wrenching! 😢 Never once have I gotten through it all.
Please don't take this personally,it's called jealousy.Please don't ever let anyone take away your light, YOU ARE AMAZING !!!
I am bawling!!!! This is my first time hearing too with you guys!!!!
Makes me cry. Poor baby. Thanks Taylor Swift you have the biggest heart.
I have been thinking about it and if someone made a mashup of soon you will get better, ronan and bigger than the whole sky... It will be the sobfest that i will play on loop. The three songs together would so beautifully capture loss and grief ( I am speaking from the place of understanding those experiences)
I think that this version of this song done by a mature Taylor is so beautiful.
