Taylor Swift, 35, recalled the horrifying moment a snake got loose in her mansion while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday

TAYLOR SWIFT SPILLS TEA ON ZOE KRAVITZ'S PYTHON PROBLEM AND TRAVIS KELCE'S DIRTY MIX-UP

In a juicy interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Taylor Swift dished out the deets on her friend Zoe Kravitz's snakey situation and fiancé Travis Kelce's embarrassing mix-up. The pop starlet was in stitches as she recounted the tale of how a Burmese python slithered into her Beverly Hills mansion, causing chaos among the crew.

The 35-year-old songstress shared that she let her pal Zoe Kravitz and her mom Lisa Bonet stay at her $25 million historic home amidst the devastating Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. But little did Swift know, Zoe had a sneaky surprise waiting for her - Orpheus, Lisa's pet snake! In August, Zoë revealed how she 'destroyed' part of the abode when the reptile made its escape into a hole in the wall.

As Swift shared her version of events on The Scholarly Note.com, she couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "We've all got that one friend," she said with a grin, prefacing the story. And then came the juicy part: "So, I get a call from my head of security, and he's trying to explain this situation to me, and my first question is, 'What snake?'" Swift joked, feigning innocence.

But things took a turn for the dramatic when Zoe finally confessed to her about the python problem. According to Swift, Zoe was holding onto the snake while it was halfway in the wall, with an axe-wielding man trying to chop up a custom vintage antique cupboard nearby. "It's like an Annie Leibovitz shoot," Swift quipped, imagining the chaotic scene.

The singer also shared that she waited patiently for three weeks before Zoe finally fessed up about the mishap. "I kept counting down on my phone, just waiting for her to tell me what happened," Swift confessed. And when Zoe did spill the beans, Swift was more amused than annoyed: "She's like, 'Hey, I'm just gonna tell you about something that happened now that it's fixed.' And I'm like, 'You had a snake in the house, and it got loose...'"

Swift shared how she got a phone call from her head of security, who tried to explain the story to her. 'And my first question was,

But that wasn't the only laugh-out-loud moment from the interview. Swift also recalled an amusing anecdote involving fiancé Travis Kelce, who mistook Barbie director Greta Gerwig for Hugh Grant's wife during her Eras Tour show in London. In a hilarious mix-up, Kelce jokingly told Anna Eberstein (Grant's wife) "I'm just Ken" while pointing at Swift on stage.

Swift was shocked when Kelce shared the story with her after the show and revealed that he had been convinced Gerwig and Grant were secretly making a movie together. "He thought they were soulmates," Swift giggled, recalling the conversation. And Meyers couldn't help but chime in: "The good thing is he recognized true love - he saw soulmates, and he knew you two were meant to be."

Swift also opened up about her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, calling it her 'favorite one' despite receiving criticism from fans regarding its lyrics. She praised her devoted fanbase for their creativity on TikTok, saying they're "so funny, so adorable, and so clever." And as for the album's mixed reviews? Swift isn't sweating it - she's too busy enjoying every moment of promoting her latest record.

'I was unaware of the presence of the snake on the premises,' she added

The 12-time Grammy winner also dished about her bread-baking obsession, confessing that she's become an expert at whipping up perfect loaves. "I have now made it everyone's problem," Swift joked, teasing her team about her newfound hobby. But don't worry, Swifties - the singer insists she doesn't do anything else besides music and baking.

And if you thought that was all, Swift's stunning appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers had fans swooning over her show-stopping look. The pop starlet flaunted her legs in a sizzling brocade corset from Wiederhoeft paired with a matching mini skirt, worth $5,250! Her sparkling engagement ring - reportedly between $700,000 and $1 million - stole the spotlight.

But what's got everyone talking is Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Will it redeem her from criticism regarding its lyrics? Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal!
