Taylor Swift Says Zoë Kravitz’s Burmese Python “Destroyed” Her Bathroom — and Calls It “the Chicest Thing Ever”
Taylor Swift has seen a lot in her career — stadium tours, surprise album drops, and fan theories that go viral overnight — but even she wasn’t prepared for the day a Burmese python went missing inside her Beverly Hills home. During her Wednesday, October 8 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Swift shared the hilariously unexpected story of how her close friend Zoë Kravitz’s pet snake decided to turn her guest bathroom into a reptile playground.
According to Taylor, it all started when Zoë, who had been staying with her, brought along her Burmese python while visiting. Everything seemed perfectly fine — until one day, the snake mysteriously disappeared. “I went to check the bathroom,” Taylor told Meyers, laughing. “And let’s just say, it didn’t look the same anymore. There were… traces of exploration.” The audience erupted in laughter as Swift described the scene, admitting that while she was momentarily shocked, she quickly found humor in it.
“I honestly thought it was kind of chic,” she joked. “Zoë Kravitz’s Burmese python destroying your bathroom — that’s the most stylish reason for home damage you could ever have.” The line immediately made its rounds on social media, with fans praising Swift’s sense of humor and her friendship with Kravitz.
Swift and Kravitz have been close for years, often seen vacationing together and supporting each other’s creative projects. Their friendship, rooted in mutual admiration, has become one of Hollywood’s quiet favorites. Swift even co-wrote a song with Kravitz during the pandemic, a collaboration that fans discovered through songwriting credits on Midnights (3am Edition). Their connection, Swift said, feels “like family — the kind that laughs through chaos.”
During her appearance, Taylor went on to reflect on how moments like this remind her that life, even for someone constantly under public attention, still finds ways to surprise and humble her. “You can be planning an album release one day and chasing a python through your house the next,” she said, smiling. “It keeps you grounded.”
Zoë Kravitz, known for her effortlessly cool persona and love of animals, reportedly found the story just as funny. A source close to the actress told People that she sent Taylor a message afterward jokingly offering to pay for the bathroom repairs, to which Taylor replied that the experience was “priceless.”
The story has since taken on a life of its own online, with fans dubbing it “the most Zoë Kravitz thing ever.” Many pointed out how fitting it was that Kravitz’s pet would end up making a mess that somehow became a symbol of effortless chic — something both women embody naturally.
For Taylor, the incident was just another reminder of how unpredictable life can be. “It’s a wild world out there,” she said during the interview, “but if your friend’s python trashes your bathroom, at least make it fashion.”
It’s moments like these that remind fans why Taylor Swift’s public persona resonates beyond her music. Her ability to blend humor, self-awareness, and warmth in stories like this keeps her relatable, even as one of the biggest stars in the world. Whether she’s writing chart-topping hits or handling reptile chaos with grace, she does it all with the same charm that has defined her career.
And as for Zoë Kravitz’s python? It was eventually found — safe, stylish, and unapologetically rebellious, just like its owner.
