And yes, you read that correctly.

Amy Sussman / Getty Images All was going well until Zoë was packing up to leave after two weeks, and while she intended to leave her friend's home looking as though nobody had ever been there, Lisa's pet snake, Orpheus, had other ideas. Marc Piasecki / Getty Images During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Zoë explained: "[Taylor] was kind enough to let me stay at her house, my mom lives in Topanga Canyon, so I said: 'No, that's a dangerous place to be. Come [here].' And my mom has a pet snake, and so she has her evacuation stuff; she came over with the snake. We ended up having to stay there for maybe about two weeks, and Taylor has this very beautiful house. I think it's from the '30s, like it's a beautiful house, something you want to preserve and take care of." Nbc / Getty Images "I was gonna leave. My mom was actually gonna stay longer, I had to leave for work," Zoë continued. "I was kind of packing up my things, and I was saying to my mom: 'I really wanna be a good house guest. I like to leave places better than I found them. I don't want [Taylor] to even know we were here.' So I was kind of going around and cleaning up, and I'm downstairs and she's upstairs, and my phone rings, and it's my mom."Zoë immediately noticed how "high" her mom's voice was, with Lisa telling her daughter: "I'm in a little bit of a pickle. Can you come upstairs?" BuzzFeed TrendingHot TopicThink you're Blondie's biggest fan? Put your ~reputation~ to the test.
See our Taylor Swift Discussions When the actor went up, she found the bathroom door closed, and when she opened it, Lisa was "crouched in the corner in a weird way" and explained that she was holding Orpheus but "just put her down for a second" to wash her face, and the snake had instantly found a "little hole in the corner." NBC / Via instagram.com Zoë detailed how her mom was still holding onto the snake's tail, explaining: "They're all muscle and very, very strong."She noticed that the hole was next to a built-in banquette, and wondered if it led to the drawers, but when she took the drawers out, she was dismayed to learn that this was not the case.
At this point, Zoë admitted that she "started to panic" as the snake was getting "further and further" into the hole. She recalled: "It's like that scene in Jurassic Park when they're in the car and the branches breaking every time they move. I was panicking so much that my mom likes to say: 'If I had both hands, I would have slapped you,' just to get it together. I was freaking out."Zoë called her assistant, who also didn't know what to do, and eventually, Taylor's house manager appeared. After he'd processed that there was a snake loose in the bathroom, he got a crowbar and started to "tear apart" the banquette. "We're ripping up the tile, we're scratching the walls, we destroyed her bathroom," Zoë confessed. "I was like: 'Either we destroy her bathroom, or I have to tell her that there's a snake somewhere in her house.'" Erika Goldring / Getty Images And I think that we can all agree that while these are both bad options, the snake in the house is definitely way worse. After they safely retrieved Orpheus, and ruined Taylor's bathroom in the process, Zoë recalled: "So we destroyed the bathroom and I said to her house manager, 'Obviously I'm gonna pay for everything to be fixed. Please just don't say anything until it's fixed, so I could just say everything's fine.'" NBC / Via instagram.com However, the house manager was loyal to Taylor, and the star knew all about what had happened when Zoë braved calling her up later on. Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images "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?'" Zoë recalled. Brooke Sutton / Getty Images Thankfully, it seems like Taylor was able to shake the whole ordeal off like a pro.
