The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen spent the night in hospital after being bitten by a poisonous spider while supporting AC/DC on tour in Mexico – her second spider bite in two years
Taylor Momsen has been hospitalised following a venomous spider bite while on tour in Mexico. The rock star, currently supporting AC/DC, has now endured her second arachnid attack in as many years.
The Pretty Reckless frontwoman and former actress was admitted to the hospital this week after the alarming incident. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the 32-year-old disclosed the frightening ordeal while insisting she would still perform that evening.
She posted: “Hospital today, show tomorrow, poisonous spiders are NO BUENO. But the show must go on, see you tomorrow, Mexico City!” However, the next morning brought disappointing news for fans when she provided an update: “Or I just spend the night in the hospital…thank you to the amazing doctors who, well, they know [heart emojis].”
Accompanying her message was an image showing the musician seated in a hospital bed, donning a black face mask while pressing a blue ice pack against her head. She also documented the gruesome aftermath of the bite on her leg as she was wheeled on a gurney, reports the Daily Star.
This marks the second occasion the star has fallen victim to a poisonous spider while touring Mexico alongside rock legends AC/DC. Earlier this month, after revealing yet another spider bite, she joked: “When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know.”
She went on: “So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit…this time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night…add it to the list! Spider woman? Batgirl? WTF.”
And it’s not just spiders that seem drawn to (or repelled by) Taylor. During another leg of the tour with the Thunderstruck legends in May 2024, she suffered a bat bite to her leg mid-performance.
The vocalist jokingly suggested she might be a “witch”, recalling the incident: “So… ROCK AND ROLL MOMENT…in Sevilla Wednesday during ‘Witches Burn’ of all songs… a BAT flew onto me and clung to my leg…in the moment I was performing and had no idea until the incredible crowd kept screaming and pointing.”
Despite finding the creature adorable, she required a fortnight of rabies jabs. Taylor continued: “thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning…more footage to come…that’s one for the books!!!!”
Her post was soon flooded with well-wishes. Ruth Clapton penned: “Sending you so much strength and healing.” Nancy Wilson added: “A world rock tour can sometimes be a war zone! Heal like the wind and stay alert.” Nick Perri penned: “Sending you love and good vibes T, you got this.”
