A grieving mother is publicly thanking Taylor Swift for honoring her late son in Ruin the Friendship, a gesture that has touched hearts worldwide. How did this tribute come to be, and what does it mean for her family? Don’t miss the emotional story behind this powerful moment—read it now!
When Susan Lang first listened to “Ruin the Friendship,” a track off Taylor Swift’s new album, she says she immediately recognized the song was about her late son, Jeffrey Lang.
Swift and Jeffrey attended high school together in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where they became close. Jeffrey died in 2010 at the age of 21.
“They were really good friends,” Lang told the Tennessean in a recent interview. “They hung out at her house a lot. They were always joking around with each other.”
In “Ruin the Friendship,” Swift sings about regretting a missed connection with a high school classmate who later passed away.
While Swift hasn’t said who inspired the song, Lang believes the lyrics, including a reference to attending a prom with a different date and wishing she’d gone with Jeffrey instead, pointed to him.
“Goodbye/ And we’ll never know why,” Swift wrote. “But I whispered at the grave ‘Should’ve kissed you anyway.’”
While speaking to The Tennessean, Lang said she wished she could contact Swift to thank her for honoring Jeffrey’s memory.
“That after all this time, she hasn’t forgotten about him,” she said. “She’s keeping his name alive.”
Swift accepted the Country Songwriter of the Year award shortly after Jeffrey’s funeral in 2010.
“Yesterday I sang at the funeral of one of my best friends,” she said from the stage. “He was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first, so I would like to thank Jeff Lang.”
The song “Forever Winter” is also rumored to be about Jeffrey.
More than two decades into her career, Swift continues to make history. Her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 4.002 million units in its first week.
“I’ll never forget how excited I was in 2006 when my first album sold 40,000 copies in its first week,” Swift recalled in an Instagram post on Oct. 13. “I was 16 and couldn’t even fathom that that many people would care enough about my music to invest their time and energy into it.”
“I’ll cherish this feeling forever,” she added.
