Well, if it\u2019s one of your homies, then I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be fine. Like, what is it? <strong>Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> or something?\u2019\u201d Mumford, 38, recalled. \u201cHe was looking for a discreet studio in London. I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t think there really are any.\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Can they come and use yours?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it was Taylor Swift. She came down right at the end of COVID, and was the most phenomenal houseguest,\u201d Mumford praised the \u201cFate of Ophelia\u201d singer. \u201cBurned a lot of vegetables for her. And she brought a killer candle. Her candle game was excellent. And she finished the second half of <em>Evermore<\/em> in our studio, which was really sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then she asked me to sing on one [of the songs] and I said yes,\u201d he added, referring to performing backing vocals on the <em>Evermore<\/em> track \u201cCowboy Like Me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Swift, 35, was an ideal houseguest, the singer\u2019s pal <strong>Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/strong> recently revealed how she and mom <strong>Lisa Bonet<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/zoe-kravitz-shares-snake-incident-that-destroyed-taylor-swifts-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ccompletely destroyed\u201d Swift\u2019s bathroom<\/a> when they took shelter at her Los Angeles home amid the California wildfires in January.<\/p>\n<p>The drama occurred when Bonet\u2019s pet snake, Orpheus, went missing in Swift\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was packing up my things and I was saying to my mom, \u2018I wanna be a good houseguest. I like to leave places better than I found them. I don\u2019t want her to even know we were here,\u2019\u201d Kravitz, 36, recalled on <em>Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/em> in August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I was kind of going around and cleaning up, and I\u2019m downstairs, and she\u2019s upstairs, and my phone rings. It\u2019s my mom. I\u2019m like, \u2018That\u2019s weird because we\u2019re in the same house,\u2019\u201d Kravitz continued. \u201cI answer the phone and she goes, \u2018Hi,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018Your voice is super high.\u2019 And she\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m in a little bit of a pickle. Can you come upstairs?\u2019 I go upstairs and the bathroom door is closed, so I open the bathroom door, and she\u2019s, like, crouched in the corner in this weird way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018What\u2019s going on, dude?\u2019\u201d Kravitz explained. \u201cAnd she\u2019s like, \u2018So \u2026 I was washing my face and I had Orpheus, and I just put her down for a second, closed the door, and she found this little hole in the corner.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMy mom\u2019s holding the snake\u2019s tail.

I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, maybe this hole goes into the drawers.\u2019 So I get down on the ground, I take the drawers out. No,\u201d she said. \u201cStart to panic. As it\u2019s happening, the snake is getting further and further [into the hole]. I was panicking so much that my mom likes to say, \u2018If I had both hands, I would have slapped you.\u2019 I was freaking out. I\u2019m like, \u2018Mom, I can\u2019t bring you anywhere!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift\u2019s house manager eventually helped out, Kravitz revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gets a crowbar and starts having to tear apart this banquette. We\u2019re ripping up the tile. We\u2019re scratching the walls,\u201d the actress said. \u201cCompletely destroyed Taylor\u2019s bathroom and there was this moment where I was like, \u2018Either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there\u2019s a snake somewhere in her house.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/marcus-mumford-says-taylor-swift-was-phenomenal-houseguest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift was a dream houseguest while she recorded her hit 2020 album Evermore at Marcus Mumford\u2019s home studio.
