Taylor Momsen Hospitalized With Venomous Spider Bite

Taylor Momsen is awaiting the arrival of superpowers after suffering a venomous spider bite while on tour with AC/DC. The Pretty Reckless frontwoman took to Instagram to document her night in a Mexico City hospital on Tuesday after "a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system," triggering a rash-like response up her leg, per People. The former Gossip Girl star shared photos and video from a gurney and thanked the doctors who treated her, joking, "When do my superpowers kick in?"

If this sounds familiar, it's because this is the second time wildlife has gone after the 32-year-old on AC/DC's Power Up tour, where her band serves as opening act. In May 2024, a bat latched onto her leg mid-song during a concert in Seville, Spain, landing her in a hospital for rabies shots and earning her the nickname "Batgirl." "It wouldn't be an AC/DC tour if I didn't get bit," Momsen wrote, adding that she might now be dubbed "Spiderwoman," per Fox News. Despite labeling poisonous spiders "no bueno," Momsen said "the show must go on" and kept Wednesday's Mexico City concert on the books.
