Taylor Momsen has been bitten not once — but twice — on an AC/DC tour.
The Pretty Reckless frontwoman shared an Instagram Reel on Wednesday, April 8, revealing that she had been bitten by a venomous spider while on tour with the "Thunderstruck" group in Mexico City.
Momsen, 32, shared a video of her lounging in a chair, being treated by a doctor and receiving a shot.

"When do my superpowers kick in? That's what I want to know," she said to the camera.
At the end of the clip, Momsen showed off her spider bite as the Spider-Man theme song plays in the background.
"🕷️🕷️🕷️ 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 😬," she captioned the post.
Momsen was bitten the last time her band, The Pretty Reckless, opened for AC/DC on tour.
In May 2024, she was performing when a bat landed on her leg mid-song, prompting the star to seek a few rounds of rabies shots.

“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,” she captioned a post on Instagram.

While Momsen wrote that the bat was “cute,” he did bite her, meaning she would need rabies shots for the next two weeks.
“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!!!!” the "Make Me Wanna Die" singer concluded her post.
Additionally, Momsen shared video and zoomed-in photos of the bat on her leg, as well as footage from her trip to the hospital.
“You guys are pointing at something and I don't know what you're saying,” the Gossip Girl alum said from the stage in the video. “There's a f---ing flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me please? Eeek!! I must really be a witch.”
Once crew members came on stage to help her, she told the audience, “It's alright, and the bat's fine. He's gonna be my new friend.”
