Zoë Kravitz'S Wild Adventure: Snakes, Swift, And Bathroom Drama!

A Star-Studded Refuge During California Wildfires

When the ferocious California wildfires blazed through the state, displacing countless residents, even celebrities found themselves seeking refuge. Zoë Kravitz, the multi-talented actor and director, was one such star. Nominated for an Emmy for her guest role in Apple TV+'s “The Studio,” Kravitz took shelter in none other than Taylor Swift's enchanting 1930s-era abode.

Joining Kravitz on this unexpected staycation was her mother, the Emmy-nominated Lisa Bonet, beloved for her role as Denise Huxtable on “The Cosby Show.” Bonet wasn't alone – she brought along Orpheus, her slithery pet snake. The duo's time at Swift's picturesque home was marked by an unexpected adventure that Kravitz later recounted with flair on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

“I’m gonna name-drop,” Kravitz teased before revealing, “Taylor Swift.”

The Slithering Dilemma

As Kravitz prepared to leave for work, Bonet remained behind with Orpheus. However, a seemingly ordinary day turned into a dramatic episode when Bonet called Kravitz with a high-pitched urgency. "Um, I’m in a little bit of a pickle," Bonet confessed, needing her daughter's immediate assistance.

The scene was set in Swift's bathroom, where Bonet had a run-in with Orpheus. While washing up, Bonet lost grip of her serpentine friend, who darted for a hole by the built-in banquette. With the snake's tail in hand and no clear path to recovery, Kravitz and Bonet faced a choice: let the snake slither into the unknown, or take apart the bathroom to retrieve it.

The Great Bathroom Rescue

Choosing the latter, Kravitz, her assistant, and the house manager embarked on a bold bathroom demolition. Armed with a crowbar, they dismantled the banquette, leaving behind tile debris and wall scratches. "Completely destroyed Taylor’s bathroom," Kravitz later admitted, relieved that Orpheus was safely secured.

In the aftermath, Kravitz promised to cover the repair costs, urging the house manager to keep Swift in the dark until the damage was fixed. However, Swift, ever the perceptive homeowner, was already in the loop. "Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?" she quipped to Kravitz, who could only agree that perhaps Orpheus might inspire a few songs on Swift's next album.

Kravitz's tale of friendship, chaos, and creative problem-solving left Meyers and audiences alike thoroughly entertained, with the actor jesting that Swift's next hit might just be titled "Orpheus."
