Taylor Momsen required medical assistance after being bitten by a “massive” spider prior to her band opening for AC/DC in Mexico City Tuesday night.
This incident marked the second time the Pretty Reckless singer was bitten by a wild animal while performing on AC/DC’s Power Up tour, having previously been attacked by a bat onstage in May 2024.
“It wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit,” Momsen wrote on social media while sharing a video of her receiving a shot to counteract the effects of Tuesday night’s spider bite.
“Its venom did a number on my system so I had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night… add it to the list!”
According to setlist.fm, the bite didn’t stop Momsen and the Pretty Reckless from delivering a 10-song set at Estadio GNP Seguros. They are scheduled to share the stage with AC/DC at the same venue two more times – April 11th and 15th.

When Taylor Momsen Got Bit By a Bat in 2024
As seen in the video below, Momsen was mid-performance in Seville, Spain on May 29th, 2024, when the audience alerted her to the fact that a bat was attached to her leg.
“Holy fuck! There’s a fucking flying bat on my leg right now,” she (rather calmly) exclaimed when she realized what was happening. “Can someone help me please? I must really be a witch.” She later revealed that she had indeed been bitten and required two weeks of rabies shots.
