Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless Bit by Venomous Spider, Hospitalized While on Tour in Mexico
The venomous bite caused a systemic reaction and forced her to stay overnight for treatment, though she still planned to perform the next day.
- On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen announced she was hospitalized in Mexico City following a poisonous spider bite, sharing photos showing a large rash spreading up her leg.
- The bite occurred before the band's April 7, 2026, performance at Estadio GNP Seguros, where Momsen noted the venom "did a number" on her system, requiring emergency treatment after symptoms worsened.
- Almost two years earlier, a bat bit Momsen onstage in Seville, Spain, on May 29, 2024, during a performance of "Witches Burn," marking the second creature incident on the AC/DC tour.
- Despite hospitalization, Momsen maintained her tour schedule, posting "Hospital today, show tomorrow" and "Poisonous spiders are NO BUENO" ahead of the band's planned Wednesday night performance in Mexico City.
- Following the Mexico City concert, Momsen and The Pretty Reckless will resume their tour on June 5 with an appearance at the Rock im Park festival in Germany, supporting AC/DC.
