Taylor Swift cries over a banana after eye surgery in Jimmy Fallon video

Taylor Swift‘s mother filmed her freaking out over a banana while she was “loopy” on drugs after laser eye surgery. 

The pop star got a surprise on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week when he brought up the surgery, which she hadn’t made public. 

He then revealed that Swift’s mum gave him a copy of the video, which was aired live on the show. 

In the clip, Swift is seen wearing goggles as she picks a banana from the kitchen. “That wasn’t the one I wanted,” a distressed Swift says. “Stop,” her mum says. “You can’t cry.”

“What do I do with this now? It doesn’t have a head,” Swift says, before her mother reassures her that she will eat the other banana.

Later Swift is shown in bed eating the banana as her mother tells her not to fall asleep. “I’m not asleep,” Swift replies. “My mind is alive.”

Swift has been promoting her seventh album, Loverwhich was released in August to critical acclaim. She is scheduled to perform on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Livewhich will be hosted by Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge. 

Last month, she revealed plans to tour her new record with a series of headline shows at music festivals around Europe, along with a four-date festival in the US called LoverFest that she created herself.
