The Villanova piccolo player who went viral Saturday night after she cried on national television during the Wildcats' third round loss appeared on 'The Tonight Show' Monday night.

Villanova student Roxanne Chalifoux became Internet famous when a camera caught a glimpse of her crying. Jimmy Fallon invited her to play with the show's house band, The Roots.

During the clip, Chaifoux and The Roots played the Villanova fight song and Fallon showered her with gifts including a gift basket and two tickets to see Taylor Swift.

"We know you like Taylor Swift," Fallon said. "So we called up Taylor and she gave you two tickets to her world tour."

"It's absolutely mind-blowing," Chaifoux said of the attention. "All I thought I did was cry on national television."

Chaifoux realized what was happening when she saw herself on the jumbotron with tears streaming down her face.

"All I could think about was my dad was at the game and I didn't want him to see me crying, but then it turned it everyone saw me crying," Chaifoux told Jimmy Fallon.
