Zoë Kravitz shared a wild, humorous—and slightly chaotic—story about her and her mother, Lisa Bonet, taking refuge in Taylor Swift’s 1930s-era Beverly Hills home during the California wildfires.
Zoë Kravitz and Taylor’s Wild Story
Taylor, ever the gracious friend, opened up her $25 million mansion, which Kravitz described as “something you want to preserve and take care of.” The duo stayed for nearly two weeks amid the evacuation, accompanied by Bonet’s pet snake, Orpheus.
Everything seemed fine until they were preparing to leave. Kravitz recounted receiving a panicked call from her mom, who was crouched in the bathroom, clinging to Orpheus’s tail. The snake had slithered into a hidden hole in a built-in banquette seat next to the bathroom wall.
Faced with a dilemma—either leave the snake trapped or destroy part of the bathroom—they chose the latter. With Taylor’s house manager wielding a crowbar, they dismantled the banquette, removed drawers, ripped up tiles, and scratched the walls in the rescue attempt.
Zoë admitted the guilt: “Completely destroyed Taylor’s bathroom,” and despite hoping Swift wouldn’t notice until after repairs were made, she was already in the loop. When Kravitz nervously called to confess, Swift responded, laughing, “Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?”.
Even host Seth Meyers couldn’t resist a quip: “That snake’s going to get, like, three songs on the next album.” Kravitz played along, joking, “Her next album is called Orpheus, obviously.” Of course, the album’s actual title is The Life of a Showgirl.
A Friendship Built on Support and Trust
Taylor Swift and Zoë Kravitz’s relationship goes far beyond casual celebrity acquaintanceship—it’s a bond built on mutual admiration, creative collaboration, and unwavering support during life’s unpredictable moments.
They’ve championed each other’s work both publicly and privately. Swift has praised Kravitz’s performances, from her breakout as Catwoman in The Batman to her bold directorial debut Blink Twice, while Kravitz has contributed to Swift’s Midnights album as a songwriter. These moments show their trust in one another’s artistry and willingness to celebrate each other’s wins.
Whether it’s supporting each other’s creative ventures, sharing intimate downtime, or weathering a snake-related bathroom disaster, their bond reflects a rare kind of Hollywood friendship: one that’s grounded in trust, loyalty, and a shared sense of humor.
