Taylor Momsen Bit by Spider on Tour, Adds Another Wild Chapter to Her Rock Star Story
By Alexus Mosley
If you thought Taylor Momsen had already experienced enough on-stage chaos to last a lifetime, think again. The former Jenny Humphrey turned rock front-woman just added another unexpected moment to her tour diary, and this one involves a spider.
While on tour with The Pretty Reckless and AC/DC, Momsen revealed that she was hospitalized after being bitten by what she described as a “massive spider.” According to her, the venom didn’t just sting, it “did a number” on her system, forcing her to receive treatment from doctors in Mexico before taking the stage. Yes, before the show.
If this feels strangely familiar, it’s because it is. Fans may remember the viral moment when Momsen was bitten by a bat onstage during a performance just a few years ago. At this point, her touring experience is starting to feel less like a concert series and more like an ongoing survival story. She reacted to the latest incident by posting a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Spider woman? Batgirl? WTF.”
Despite the severity of the bite and the venom's reaction, Momsen still performed. Hospital visit, injection, recovery, and then straight to the stage. If there’s anything this moment proves, it’s that her rock star persona isn’t just aesthetic, it’s endurance.
