Taylor Swift’s Mom Sends Jimmy Fallon Hilarious Video of the Singer Post Surgery

Who doesn’t love a good post surgery video of someone loopy from pain meds? They typically come out after wisdom teeth removal, but for Taylor Swift, it comes after lasik surgery. Swift recently stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where Fallon asks Swift about having lasik surgery. A confused Swift replied that yes she has had it, but that she doesn’t tell people and seemed very confused about why he was bringing it up. Fallon was having too much fun revealing that Swift’s own mother had sent him a video of her post surgery and that they were about to air the never before seen footage. After the video air Swift was in disbelief that it had just been showed on television. Fallon then told Swift to thank her mom for him and she said she would definitely be telling her mom some things!

In the video, Swift becomes upset about her attempt to break a banana off the rest of the bunch and it not being the one she wanted. She then doesn’t know what to do with the banana, that no longer has a head. Her mom, Andrea Swift, reassures her that she would eat it. A. Swift also reminds her daughter that she is not supposed to cry post surgery. Perhaps the most hilarious moment comes when Swift slips into bed and is seeing taking a bite of the banana and her mom worries that she might fall asleep while eating it. Swift replies “I’m not asleep, my mind is alive” which is the most Taylor Swift thing she could say. Even under heavy pain meds, Swift’s mind is always working!

Also during the show, Fallon and Swift played a game of “Name That Song” to which they could only hear one instrument at a time be introduced as they had to guess which song was being played. Fallon was impressed with how Swift was able to guess some of the songs after only hearing a few seconds of instruments, to which Swift replied “It’s the {guitar} chords.” The tables turned however when the final song of the game was played and Swift failed to recognize her hit song off 1989 “Shake It Off.” Fallon was very pleased with himself for guessing correctly as Swift walked off in defeat.

Another great moment came in the show when Swift was able to see Lover on vinyl for the first time. Following the show, sales were made available at Target the next day! Pre-orders are being accepted now for only $23 which is cheaper than the usually $40 priced Vinyls we’ve seen in the past! There are two Vinyls that come with it, one pink and one blue. Swift admitted she hadn’t seen the vinyl in person before and only pictures. She thought they turned out nice!

Fallon also spoke to Swift about her upcoming performance dates and plans for the Lover Festival slated for next summer. Swift stated she daydreamed about the album being played at festivals and admitted she hasn’t played festivals in a very long time. She mentioned how she has the opportunity to open an NFL Stadium next summer, to which Fallon told her she is the first female artist to ever open an NFL stadium, to Swift’s surprise. She stated she wouldn’t be the last!

Taylor Swift Performs on Jimmy Fallon After His Mom Passed Away and Moves Him to Tears

Music really does heal. Jimmy Fallon recently lost his mom and tonight was his first show back since the funeral. The team wanted a special show back and decided on a whim to ask Taylor Swift if she would come to perform since she had been in town to perform on SNL and attend her album release party!

Swift agreed without hesitation and performed a song off Reputation called “New Year’s Day.” Fallon introduced her saying:

“We have a big, big, big performance tonight. Her new album, Reputation, is crushing. It is CRUSHING. It came out on Friday and it sold over a million copies. She was fantastic on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and she wasn’t scheduled to be our musical guest tonight, but she’s her. We love her, performing a brand new song for the first time tonight: Taylor Swift.”

WATCH TAYLOR SWIFT PERFORM “NEW YEAR’S DAY” ON JIMMY FALLON

There is a line in the song that talks about squeezing hands three times, something Fallon had done with his mom in the hospital before she passed to let her know he loves her. It’s something his mom used to do when he was little. It was a beautiful moment and the whole audience was moved. One of the producers of the show shared in a series of tweets:

“But at the desk, you could hear his voice break when talking about our musical guest Taylor Swift, and that’s because he knew what he was about to say… Jimmy’s words about his mom were beautiful. “Mom, I’ll never stop trying to make you laugh. I love you.” I was crying. We all were. The story about his mom squeezing his hand 3 times to say “I love you” when he was a kid, and then him squeezing her hand in the hospital – he hadn’t told any of us that story… More on that in a second. First, a quick word about Taylor Swift. She was not scheduled to do our show today. But we wanted something special for this first show back, so we asked her on a complete whim, since she had been in town doing SNL. She said yes with zero hesitation. She sang “New Year’s Day.” No one had heard it. Suddenly she sings the line, “Squeeze my hand 3 times in the back of the taxi.” I nearly gasped. Tears. I think everyone in the audience started sobbing. I could see Jimmy silhouetted at his desk dabbing his eyes with a tissue. We all lost it. It was a beautiful coincidence in a beautiful performance. “Hold on to your memories, they will hold on to you,” Taylor sang. That hug between Jimmy and Taylor after the song was 100% real emotion. Whatever you think of Taylor, she did something beautiful for Jimmy and our show today, and we’re forever grateful. Thank you to Taylor, the Roots, Higgins, our whole staff and crew, and to all the FalPals, fans, and everyone who reached out to and supported Jimmy and his family. I can tell you it meant everything to him.”
