The future Mrs. Conor Kennedy - oh sorry, excuse us – Taylor Swift debuted her new song “Ronan” last night at the Stand Up to Cancer Event, to raise money for cancer research.

Prior to taking the stage, the 22-year-old singer Tweeted,

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…

Swift penned “Ronan”, a song about a 3-year-old boy who lost his battle to cancer last year, after she was inspired by a blog post written by the boy’s mother, Maya Thompson.
