UPDATE: In a surprising revelation, actress Zoë Kravitz disclosed that she temporarily stayed at Taylor Swift’s lavish Beverly Hills mansion during the devastating California wildfires earlier this year. The 14-time Grammy Award winner opened her doors, offering refuge to Kravitz and her mother, Lisa Bonet, amid the chaos.
Kravitz shared this heartfelt story on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday, detailing their two-week stay at the singer’s stunning $25 million home. Joining them was Bonet’s pet snake, Orpheus, which led to an unexpected and frantic incident that Kravitz humorously described as “destroying” part of Swift’s home.
The incident unfolded when Bonet, while washing her face, accidentally trapped Orpheus in a small hole in the bathroom wall. In a state of panic, Kravitz recounted the moment: “I found my mom crouched in the corner in this weird way.” As the duo attempted a rescue, they inadvertently escalated the situation, leading to a frantic call to Swift’s house manager.
Kravitz revealed, “We’re ripping up the tile. We’re scratching the walls,” as they frantically tried to save the snake. Faced with a choice between revealing the trapped snake or causing extensive damage to Swift’s bathroom, Kravitz opted for the latter, promising to cover the repair costs.
When she finally reached out to Swift, Kravitz was met with an unexpected response: “Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?” Swift was already aware of the situation, showcasing the close bond between the two friends.
Kravitz, 36, joked that Swift’s next album could be titled “Orpheus,” although that idea was quickly dashed when Swift announced her actual upcoming album title, “The Life of a Showgirl.” Their friendship has blossomed over the years, with Kravitz attending Swift’s sold-out Eras tour in London, calling it “crazy.”
Reflecting on their friendship, Kravitz expressed admiration for Swift’s talent, stating, “Taylor is scary talented at everything she does.”
This incident not only highlights the personal connection between Kravitz and Swift but also emphasizes the chaos and unpredictability of life during emergencies. As wildfires continue to ravage parts of California, the support and camaraderie among friends are more crucial than ever.
With the emotional weight of their experience, fans can expect more collaborative efforts between the two stars, as Kravitz has previously contributed to Swift’s music, co-writing tracks like “Karma” and “Lavender Haze.”
