Taylor Momsen, the lead singer of the rock band The Pretty Reckless, who has been touring Mexico with AC/DC, had to be hospitalized after being bitten during a performance by what she described as a “venomous spider.”
What happened to Taylor Momsen?
Momsen shared the details of the incident on her Instagram account. She revealed that she suffered a spider bite a day before performing the opening set for AC/DC’s Power Up Tour on Tuesday, April 14. She said she had a swollen area on her leg with red patches, and she got examined by a doctor. She went on to perform in Mexico City despite the spider bite.
“Hospital today, show tomorrow, poisonous spiders are NO BUENO 🕷️🕷️but the show must go on, see you tomorrow Mexico City!” she wrote in the caption of the post.
In a follow-up update, she revealed that the spider bite injury was far more serious than what her fans initially assumed. It got complicated and she had to be admitted to a hospital for one day in Mexico City. She shared another video of her leg from the hospital where the red wounds could be seen to have worsened. It also included a selfie from the hospital.
“Or I just spend the night in the hospital…thank you to the amazing doctors who, well, they know,” she captioned the post.
Notably, the ‘Batgirl’ mention in the earlier post was a reference to an incident from late May 2024 when Momsen was bitten by a bat in Sevilla, Spain. Coincidentally, she was performing with AC/DC then, as well.
