Zoë Kravitz’s Snake Adventure: A Houseguest’s Chaotic Day at Taylor Swift’s
Imagine being a guest at one of the most fabulous homes in Los Angeles and nearly leaving behind a slippery situation—a literal one! This was the reality for Zoë Kravitz, who recently shared her unforgettable experience of almost losing her mom’s pet snake, Orpheus, in Taylor Swift’s elegant vintage home.
Home Away from Home
During a chaotic period of L.A. wildfires, Kravitz, joined by her mother Lisa Bonet, sought refuge in Taylor Swift’s 1930s-style home. An idyllic and safe retreat it may seem, but Mother Nature had more in store than just the fire. Kravitz and Bonet took along Orpheus, an unusual yet beloved family member.
A Snake in the House
Everything was going smoothly until the final day of their stay. Kravitz was preparing to depart for work, leaving Bonet behind for an extended stay. Suddenly, a high-pitched phone call changed everything: “Can you come upstairs?” Bonet asked, indicating untold trouble.
The alarm wasn’t exaggerated. Zoë found herself facing a creature catastrophe; Orpheus had found a tiny hole in an upstairs bathroom, attempting an escape!
A Designer Dilemma
According to the Late Night With Seth Meyers show, Kravitz found herself in an architecturally compromised situation. The elegant Taylor Swift abode was not snake-proof! “That’s a design flaw,” quipped host Seth Meyers, laughing. Yet, laughing wasn’t on Kravitz’s mind; she faced a choice of revealing the snake’s adventure or sparing Swift the knowledge through destruction—a choice which resulted in a bathroom demolition derby!
Chaos in the Lavish Loo
Under the duress of disappearing reptiles, Kravitz and team used crowbars and whatever tools necessary to reclaim Orpheus. Tiles were torn and serenity disrupted. When she later confessed to Swift about the mishap, the pop star humorously acknowledged, “Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in our house and destroyed my bathroom?”
Kravitz managed to assure all would be repaired before any discovery of the bathroom’s state, a small favor considering the potential snake song inspirations Swift may humorously remark about during album announcements!
Conclusion: A Story for the Ages
This incident not only tells a story about celebrity camaraderie and unforeseen stressors but brings a bit of warmth to the tale. As Kravitz put it, paying for repairs is minor compared to friendship—especially when luck and quick thinking averted a much scalier ending!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, perhaps Orpheus might inspire an entirely new genre of stories or even a couple of tracks on Swift’s upcoming album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
A tale where friendship, quick thinking, and even bathroom destruction play out in the limelight, Zoë’s adventure surely adds a quirky chapter to Hollywood history.
