Taylor Swift Stands Up for Ronan

SWIFT RESPONSE: Taylor Swift’s “Ronan” is now #1 at iTunes after the singer-songwriter introduced the new tune at Friday night’s televised Stand Up 2 Cancer fund-raiser. The song, a “sad, spare lullabye,” was co-written by the mother of a four-year-old of the same name who died of cancer last year. Swift now has the #1 and #2 singles on iTunes, with “Ronan” vaulting over “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” Word is that Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta is now considering adding “Ronan” to Swift’s upcoming album, Red, which comes out Oct. 22. The track was not originally supposed to be on the disc. Below, a video of her "Ronan" performance. (9/10p)
