Zoë Kravitz recently shared a wild experience about how her mom, Lisa Bonet, accidentally let a snake loose in Taylor Swift‘s house. This incident occurred when they stayed at Swift’s home after evacuating due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The unexpected adventure involved snake-chasing, some home damage, and a surprisingly understanding host—in a tale that fans of all parties involved won’t soon forget.
Seeking Shelter at Taylor Swift’s
During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Zoë Kravitz recounted how she and her mom took refuge in Taylor Swift’s home amid the January wildfires. “She was kind enough to let me stay at her house,” Kravitz shared. Lisa Bonet, residing in Topanga Canyon, was advised by Zoë to evacuate with her pet snake. Swift’s home, renowned for its 1930s charm, turned into an emergency sanctuary for them.
A Houseguest’s Nightmare
The stay was smooth until the very last day. “I was gonna leave. My mom was actually gonna stay longer. I had to leave for work,” Kravitz explained. As she prepared to depart, Zoë was struck by a desire to leave the place immaculate. However, a phone call from Lisa revealed, “I’m in a little bit of a pickle. Can you come upstairs?”
Upon arriving, Kravitz discovered the snake, Orpheus, had slipped into a small hole. Trying to mediate the situation, Meyers jested, “That’s a design flaw. That’s on Taylor. You can’t have a snake hole in your house.”
The Snake Drama Unfolds
Things escalated rapidly as Kravitz described, “So the hole is next to a banquette that is built into the wall that has two drawers at the bottom.” Lisa, holding the snake’s tail, struggled as the creature pulled further. The panic mirrored an intense movie scene, with Kravitz admitting to being on edge. “If I had both hands, I would have slapped you,” Bonet humorously remarked about her daughter’s frantic state.
Repairing the Aftermath
The situation escalated when Kravitz’s assistant and the house manager were called in. “We’re ripping up the tile. We’re scratching the walls. We completely destroyed Taylor’s bathroom,” Kravitz admitted. Faced with a tough choice, she opted for destruction over letting a snake roam free unnoticed. She promised to cover repairs, imploring the manager to delay telling Swift. When she finally informed Swift, the singer humorously responded, “Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in our house and destroyed my bathroom?”
This unexpected adventure proves that even an elegant abode can host unforeseen chaos, with all parties displaying good humor and grace under pressure. Zoë Kravitz, her mom, and Taylor Swift will surely remember this lively tale for years to come.
