The Heartbreaking Reason Jimmy Fallon Cried Over This Taylor Swift Song
Gloria
Host Jimmy Fallon returned to the âThe Tonight Showâ desk on Monday night for the first time since the death of his mother  Gloria  and had Taylor Swift on hand for a surprise musical performance.
It was a really tough day for our whole staff. A lot of us knew  his mom Gloria   and  she  was the best. The best.  She  loved the show   she  loved all of us  and most of all   she  loved Jimmy. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
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. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
 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. â Mike DiCenzo (@mikedicenzo) November 14  2017
