Rock singer Taylor Momsen, the lead vocalist of The Pretty Reckless, recently shared an alarming incident with her fans via Instagram. The 32-year-old revealed that she was bitten by a venomous spider while on tour with the legendary rock band AC/DC, this time in Mexico City. This new chapter in her string of concert-related animal encounters has left both her and her followers surprised.
On 8 April 2026, Momsen posted an Instagram Reel detailing the experience. In the video, she is seen reclining in a chair while a doctor administers treatment for the bite. “When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know,” she quipped, humorously referencing her predicament as she showcased the bite on her arm to her followers.
Adding to the levity of the moment, the theme song from Spider-Man played in the background as she revealed the aftermath of the incident. Describing it as a “massive spider deciding to take a chunk out of me,” she explained that the venom from the bite had affected her considerably, necessitating medical attention before her performance that evening. Momsen expressed her exasperation and excitement, questioning if she should embrace a new superhero persona given her experiences, stating, “Spider woman? Batgirl?”
This latest encounter with wildlife follows a rather notable incident in May 2024 during another AC/DC tour, where a bat unexpectedly landed on her leg while she was performing. The singer later took to social media to detail the moment, explaining that she was unaware of the bat’s presence until concertgoers began pointing and screaming. “So… ROCK AND ROLL MOMENT… in Sevilla during ‘Witches Burn’ of all songs… a BAT flew onto me,” she said. The unexpected visitor resulted in a series of rabies shots after the bat bit her.
In an amusing twist, Momsen described the bat as “cute” despite the bite, and she expressed her gratitude towards the hospital staff who cheekily dubbed her “#batgirl” upon learning of her experience. She shared images and footage of the bat clinging to her leg, highlighting the surreal nature of the incident. “You guys are pointing at something and I don’t know what you’re saying. There’s a f—ing flying bat on my leg right now,” she recalled, half-jokingly pleading for help from her crew.
The resilience and sense of humour displayed by Momsen amidst these bizarre encounters reflect her rock-and-roll spirit. It’s clear that these wild moments, while potentially hazardous, have only added to her colourful touring experiences. Both incidents have garnered significant media attention, showcasing the sometimes chaotic nature of life on the road for touring musicians.
As she continues with her tour, fans are undoubtedly hoping this doesn’t signal the beginning of a trend. The singer’s witty commentary on Instagram has kept her followers engaged and entertained, ensuring that she shares her journey in a way that is both relatable and amusing.
With her band, The Pretty Reckless, thriving and touring with giants like AC/DC, it is clear that Momsen isn’t just a force on stage but also a survivor of unexpected predicaments. One can only wonder what her next animal encounter will be as she continues to rock out on her tour. For now, her followers can enjoy the unfolding drama from a distance, chipping in with their own anecdotes as they join her in laughter amidst the chaos.
As the saying goes, rock and roll is a wild ride, and for Taylor Momsen, it seems that wise words hold true when it comes to animal encounters on stage. With her spirited attitude, she’s certainly proving to be a survivor of both bites and bat-friendly moments.
