Taylor Momsen recovering after venomous spider bite during tour in Mexico

Taylor Momsen is recovering after being bitten by a venomous spider while on tour in Mexico.

The Pretty Reckless frontwoman, 32, shared a video on her Instagram page which showed her being seen by a doctor who gave her an injection to treat a painful swelling on her leg and the singer went on to reveal the injury was caused by a spider which took a "massive chunk" out of her during a stop in Mexico City.

Taylor — whose band is touring with rock legends AC/DC — joked to the camera: "When do my superpowers kick in? That's what I want to know."

She went on to note the incident came two years after she was bitten by a bat during a previous tour with AC/DC. She captioned the video: "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?"

Taylor was previously bitten by a bat while she was onstage at a show in Seville, Spain in May 2024 when The Pretty Reckless were previously opening for AC/DC.

At the time,. Taylor shared on social media: "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."

A video of the moment showed Taylor being made aware of the bat situation by members of the audience.

In the clip, she said: "You guys are pointing at something and I don't know what you're saying... There's a f****** flying bat on my leg right now. 

"Can someone help me please? Eeek! I must really be a witch."

After being assisted by members of the crew, Taylor added: "It's alright, and the bat's fine. He's gonna be my new friend."

Taylor was treated at a local hospital and had to spend two weeks taking anti-rabies medication.
