2000s Rocker Needed Urgent Treatment After Spider Venom Affected Her System

Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless faced a frightening moment after joining AC/DC on their tour.

Since the iconic rock band kicked off its Power Up World Tour in 2024, the singer-actress has been performing as the opening act.

However, a shocking incident unfolded during the Latin American leg.

In an Instagram post, Momsen revealed that she got seriously bitten by a “massive spider” in Mexico.

The vocalist also thanked the medical team for their quick response and was able to stabilize her condition before their performance.

“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 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! Spider woman? Batgirl? WTF,” she captioned the post along with the video of her getting shots in her lower leg and arms.

Momsen also joked about when her “superpowers” would kick in and even showed off the spider bite, which appeared noticeably swollen.

The comment section was filled with well-wishes from fans who are hoping for her speedy recovery.

“Nooo omg! That looks so painful. Hope you feel better soon,” one wrote.

“You must have tasty blood or something. Hope you’re ok!” a follower playfully commented.

Others also praised the frontwoman for pulling off such an amazing performance despite the health scare.

“Love it your attitude, but so sorry that that had to happen to you but you are incredible. The show must go on and you never let the crowd down, which is one of the things that just makes you so incredible and the list is so long I couldn’t even start to begin. Keep rocking,” a commenter added.

As mentioned, The Pretty Reckless has been part of the AC/DC tour since 2024 and is scheduled for back-to-back shows this year.

Currently, they are set for two more performances in Mexico to wrap up the Latin America leg.

After this, they will begin the North American leg in July through September, covering states like Ohio, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Indiana, British Columbia, Ontario and more.
