Tonight Show producer Mike DiCenzo revealed the touching backstory behind Taylor Swift’s unscheduled, surprise performance on Monday’s episode, which moved grieving host Jimmy Fallon.
It was the 43-year-old SNL alum’s first show since the ‘peaceful’ death of his mother Gloria, aged 68, ‘from undisclosed causes’ on November 4 at NYU Langone Medical Center.
DiCenzo tweeted Tuesday that the 27-year-old pop starlet ‘said yes with zero hesitation’ when asked to debut her new piano ballad, New Year’s Day.
