By Website Content Manager

Maya Thompson, mother of Ronan Thompson, opened up about her relationship with Swift more than a decade after the song’s release in an TikTok video on Monday

Taylor Swift is forever connected to Maya Thompson.

During a TikTok Q&A on Monday, the mother of the late Ronan Thompson — whom the pop star paid tribute to with the heartbreaking ballad “Ronan” as a charity single that was later added to Red (Taylor’s Version) — revealed that she still talks to Swift, 34.

“Do I still talk to Taylor? I do,” Maya, who is also a co-writer of the song, said in the clip. “I’ll share some things, not everything, because I’m protective of her.”
