"I'm playing a new song 'Ronan' tonight on Stand Up For Cancer. It'll be on iTunes tonight with all my proceeds to cancer related charities," Taylor told her Twitter followers before the show. Taylor wrote "Ronan" about a 3-year-old boy who had a neuroblastoma and passed away last year. She was inspired by a blog post by the boy's mother, Maya Thompson, with whom she shared writing credit.
