I share your difficulty. I cannot tell you what that means either.
I only understand the other half by cutting "she rock and rolled" out.

"She rock and rolled" may simply be applied to any sentence as an adjective of an action. Such as your case.

"Rock and Rolled" this term first came from the music genre rock and roll. Rock and roll is a music mixed with guitars and alot of screaming music lyrics. The genere of musicians usually party backstage after there concerts and they are done performing for the night, just to celebrate what a good job they did. So, Rock and Rolling means partied, did well, or just going with the flow smoothly.

Rocked and roll is a form a music and has a very wide definition for actions. Usually it means that the subject was dancing. Sometimes it refers to the way rock and roll portrays as music. I suggest you listen to rock and roll music because then you will gain a better understanding of the reference.
