Snake disrupts stay at Taylor Swift’s home

Zoë Kravitz describes evacuating to Taylor Swift's Los Angeles home where her mother’s pet snake escaped, triggering a chaotic rescue and bathroom damage.

Zoë Kravitz Recalls Mom Letting Snake Loose in Taylor Swift's House

Zoë Kravitz told Seth Meyers that she and her mother, Lisa Bonet, stayed at Taylor Swift's home in Los Angeles after the January wildfires. Kravitz said Swift kindly offered her house because Bonet wanted to avoid staying in Topanga Canyon, and the stay lasted about two weeks while Kravitz worked. She called Swift’s home a beautiful 1930s house worth preserving.

The trouble began on the last day when Bonet’s pet snake, Orpheus, escaped from a hole near a banquette. Kravitz and her team called in her assistant and the house manager, and they ended up tearing apart the bathroom to retrieve the snake. Kravitz said she would pay for the repairs and asked that Swift not be told until everything was fixed.

The tale reads like a window into celebrity hospitality under pressure. It shows how a private space becomes a stage for mishap and humor, and how a pet can derail even well‑intentioned arrangements. The incident has a light, almost comic edge, but it also hints at real costs and boundaries in hosting high‑profile guests.

Beyond the laughs, the episode reveals the careful juggling of privacy, responsibility, and public perception in celebrity circles. It underscores how fame can magnify ordinary emergencies and turn a simple evacuation into a story that travels far beyond the original moment.
