Taylor Momsen, bitten by bat, jokes 'I must be witch'
Taylor Momsen, the frontwoman of the American rock band The Pretty Reckless, got a surprise during a gig in Sevilla, Spain—she got bit by a bat! The incident occurred while the band was performing their song Witches Burn as part of AC/DC's European Power Up tour. Unaware of the bat clinging to her leg, Momsen continued performing until alerted by the crowd. She later shared a video of the encounter, jokingly saying "I must really be a witch."
'He was cute, but yes he bit me...'
Despite the unexpected encounter, Momsen remained unfazed and continued with her performance. She later revealed on social media that she would need to undergo a series of rabies shots for two weeks following the incident. "He was cute, but yes he bit me...so rabies shots for the next two weeks," she wrote in her post. The hospital staff who treated her even nicknamed her #batgirl after seeing the incident on local news.
