Also 8/13/25 Zoe Kravitz tells a story about Orpheus (her mom, Lisa Bonet’s snake)
got loose in Taylor’s house while they were staying there for 2 weeks:
While appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, Aug. 12, Kravitz, 36, revealed that
Swift, 35, kindly offered her and her mom Lisa Bonet a place to stay during the Los Angeles fires,
which led to an interesting encounter involving her mom’s pet snake.
“My mom has a pet snake and so she came over with the snake,” she said, adding of having to evacuate
their homes, “We ended up having to stay there for maybe about two weeks.”
The Blink Twice star said that as she was packing up her things, her mom called with a problem.
“She goes … ‘I'm in a little bit of a pickle, can you come upstairs’ …
and she's [in] the bathroom and she's like crouched in the corner in this weird way,” recalled Kravitz.
“She's like, ‘so I was washing my face and I had Orpheus (the snake’s name)
and I just put her down for a second, closed the door and she found this little hole in the corner.’ ”
Kravitz said she ended up calling the house manager, who brought a crowbar to “tear apart”
the banquette in an attempt to catch the snake. “We're ripping up the tile, we're scratching the walls …
[We] completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom,” the actress admitted. Kravitz said she offered to pay
to fix the bathroom and to not let Swift, 35, know “until it’s fixed.”
“I remember calling her and saying, ‘Hey … I wanted to talk to you about something,’ ” recalled Kravitz.
“And she was like, ‘Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in the house and destroyed my bathroom?’”
[I looked for connections between Orpheus and Ophelia and AI specified they are different places and legends. But Ophelia Lyre seemed to have the most connection to Taylor Swift]
Ophelia Lyre
Early Life (The Story of Orpheus and Eurydice):
Ophelia Lyre was born to Orpheus, the legendary musician and son of Calliope and Apollo, and Eurydice. A few days after Orpheus and Eurydice got married…. A few months later, Eurydice gave birth to their daughter, who they named Ophelia. For the first few months of her life, Ophelia spent her time with her parents, listening to her father's music and stories and her mother's voice, whether it being just Eurydice talking or singing. One day, while the god Aristaeus saw and pursued Eurydice, who stepped on a viper, was bitten, and died instantly. Distraught, Orpheus played and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and deities wept and told him to travel to the Underworld to retrieve her, which he gladly did, asking a few nymphs to keep an eye on Ophelia. After his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone, his singing so sweet that even the Erinyes wept, he was allowed to take her back to the world of the living, however the condition was attached that he must walk in front of her and not look back until both had reached the upper world. Soon he began to doubt that she was there, suspecting that Hades had deceived him. Just as he reached the portals of Hades and daylight, he turned around to gaze on her face, and because Eurydice had not yet crossed the threshold, she vanished back into the Underworld. Orpheus tried to pick himself up for his daughter, and try as he might, he almost did, however Orpheus was later killed by the Maenads at the orders of Dionysus. Ophelia would have been killed as well if it wasn't for Apollo's intervention, who took Ophelia to be raised on Olympus.
Childhood
Ophelia was raised under the care of her paternal grandparents Calliope and Apollo. Calliope taught Ophelia all about poetry and art, while Apollo taught her how to play and make music and taught her how do use a bow. She often went with her grandfather whenever he went hunting. Ophelia was also visited by the other nine muses who taught her different forms of art and music (ie Theater by Thalia and Melpomene, Dance by Terpsichore, Astronomy by Urania, etc). Ophelia grew up a lively and talented child, who loved everything about the arts and archery. When she was seventeen years old, Apollo and Calliope made her immortal, wanting her to experience the world's ever changing art styles and music. Ophelia would often go down to earth to listen to the new music styles mortals would create, singing along and dancing.
