Ahead of her appearance on The Tonight Show, Swift’s mother secretly sent Jimmy Fallon the hilarious video of Swift like we’d never seen her before.
You might say that Taylor Swift didn’t have her “Eyes Open” during a hilariously embarrassing moment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC weeknights at 11:35/10:35c and next day on Peacock.
Back in October 2019, the “Cruel Summer” artist swung by the late night talk show to chat about her album, Lover, and her upcoming appearance as musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Host Jimmy Fallon had other plans.
During the interview, Fallon asked Swift if she can see him. Confused, she said yes, and Fallon said that he knew she recently had Lasik eye surgery.
“I did. How do you know that?” asked Swift. “No it was great. I really can see very well.”
The strange questions kept coming, though. Fallon then asked, “Do you take painkillers or anything when you do that stuff? Do they give you laughing gas or something?”
“They definitely give you some pretty hardcore pills after you have a laser in your eye,” said Swift, growing suspicious. “What is going on? What’s happening right now?”

Fallon revealed that Swift’s mom “may or may not have videotaped” her after Swift’s eye surgery, and “gave us the video.”
“This is a world premiere, you gotta check this out. This is Taylor Swift post-surgery,” said Fallon, as Swift sat looking shocked, bracing for the footage.
The video shows a loopy Swift in her kitchen wearing goggles taped to her face, as she fumbles around for a banana to eat. She’s then nearly brought to tears when she grabs the wrong one. After she leaves the kitchen, the video cuts to her eating the banana in bed.
“Don’t fall asleep eating a banana ok?” cautions her mom.
“I’m not asleep. My mind is alive,” says Swift in between bites.
After the video ends, the 14-time Grammy winner appears mortified as Fallon said, “Don’t be mad at me. I made some calls.”
“She was kind enough to drive me there, but cruel enough to film it and give it to you?” asked Swift as the betrayal sank in.

“That’s what a good mom does! It was just so cute. It made me laugh,” said Fallon as he added, “This is Lasik Lover. Hashtag #LasikLover,” holding up Swift’s 2019 album.
“I can’t even be mad. I’m just impressed that you infiltrated my family. I don’t even know how you did that,” she said.
Who knows what else from the Swift Vault The Tonight Show can get its hands on? Maybe Fallon can release Reputation (Taylor’s Version) next.
