Taylor’s Unexpected Houseguest

Taylor Swift is clearing the air — and cracking up — over the time Zoe Kravitz and Lisa Bonet accidentally turned her Los Angeles home into a reptile rescue scene.

Earlier this year, Kravitz and her mom stayed at Swift’s house while escaping the California wildfires. The visit took an unexpected turn when Bonet’s beloved pet python, Orpheus, slipped through a small hole in the bathroom wall. According to Kravitz’s earlier story on Late Night with Seth Meyers, what followed was pure chaos — Bonet clutching the snake’s tail while Swift’s house manager fetched a crowbar and tore through the wall to free it.

Two months later, Swift finally shared her version of the event — and, of course, she made it sound like something out of a fashion editorial. Appearing on Late Night herself, Swift revealed that she first heard about the incident in the most bewildering way possible: a frantic phone call from her head of security.

“I just remember getting a call from my head of security and him trying to explain this story to me,” Swift said. Her confused first response? “What snake?”

From there, she couldn’t help but laugh as she imagined the scene: Kravitz and Bonet clutching a python halfway in the wall, an antique cabinet destroyed, splinters everywhere — yet somehow, it all looked impossibly stylish in her mind. She compared the chaos to “an Annie Leibovitz shoot,” saying it sounded like “the chicest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Rather than getting upset, Swift decided to wait and see how long it would take Kravitz to come clean. She even started a little countdown on her phone, fully aware her friend wouldn’t mention it until everything was fixed. Three weeks later, her prediction came true.

When Kravitz finally confessed during a casual hangout, Swift couldn’t stop laughing. “Dude, I’ve been laughing about this for three weeks,” she told her friend.

It’s safe to say that in the saga of pop stars and pythons, Taylor Swift knows how to turn a home disaster into a comedy classic.
