UPDATE: Zoë Kravitz has revealed that she and her mother, Lisa Bonet, took refuge in Taylor Swift’s luxurious Beverly Hills home as California wildfires raged earlier this year. During an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Tuesday, Kravitz shared that the 14-time Grammy winner opened her doors to them for nearly two weeks amid the devastating fires.
Kravitz, 36, described Swift’s stunning $25 million mansion, noting its historical significance and beauty. “It’s from the ’30s, something you want to preserve and take care of,” she said. But in a surprising twist, the actress confessed to accidentally causing damage during their stay.
As Kravitz and Bonet prepared to leave the mansion, a chaotic incident involving Bonet’s pet snake, Orpheus, unfolded. While washing her face, Bonet inadvertently trapped Orpheus in a small hole in the upstairs bathroom wall. Kravitz recounted the moment, saying, “I’m like, ‘What’s going on dude?’” as she discovered her mom crouched in a “weird way” next to the trapped snake.
The situation escalated quickly, leading to a frantic rescue mission. “We’re ripping up the tile. We’re scratching the walls,” Kravitz said, describing how they called Swift’s house manager, who arrived with a crowbar. The urgency of the moment prompted Kravitz to joke about the two options: “Either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there’s a snake somewhere in her house.”
After the chaotic rescue, Kravitz took it upon herself to inform Swift about the damage. Interestingly, Swift was already aware of the incident. “I remember calling her saying, ‘Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something.’ And she was like, ‘Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?’” Kravitz recounted.
In a light-hearted moment, Kravitz quipped that Swift’s next album might be titled “Orpheus,” but that idea was quickly dismissed as Swift recently announced her upcoming album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”
The friendship between Kravitz and Swift has blossomed over the past decade, with their bond strengthening in recent years. They have been spotted dining together in New York City and have shared moments during Swift’s sold-out “Eras” tour, which Kravitz called “crazy.”
Their professional collaboration is notable too, as Kravitz contributed to Swift’s 2022 album, “Midnights,” co-writing tracks like “Karma” and “Lavender Haze” and providing backing vocals.
This latest revelation not only highlights the close friendship between two celebrities but also underscores the human impact of the wildfires that affected so many in California. As the situation develops, fans are reminded of the personal connections that thrive even amidst chaos.
Stay tuned for more updates on the ongoing friendship between Zoë Kravitz and Taylor Swift.
