Taylor Momsen Bitten by Venomous Spider on AC/DC Tour in Mexico City

Taylor Momsen, frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless, had an onstage encounter with a venomous spider during the AC/DC Power Up Tour in Mexico City. She shared a playful yet painful update on Instagram, writing, “So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bit,” while adding that “this time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me.” The venom reportedly did a number on her system, and she credited the doctors in Mexico with delivering “quite the shot before the show last night.”

The moment adds to Momsen’s notable tour history with AC/DC, including a bat bite she described two years ago while opening for the legendary band. During that Seville, Spain performance, a bat briefly landed onstage and bit her leg, a moment she later quipped about in front of fans, even asking the crowd if she had become a “witch.” The recent spider incident comes with her continuing to push through the run, a testament to the endurance fans have come to expect from the singer on tour.

In addition to the onstage bite, there was a social-media flurry around Momsen’s experiences on the road. A friend from Heart, Nancy Wilson, commented on her post with practical advice to stay hydrated and follow medical protocols, underscoring how quickly fans and peers rally around performers who power through medical hiccups while touring.

Despite the bumps, The Pretty Reckless remain on the road with AC/DC for the rest of the run, which is scheduled to wrap in Philadelphia on Sept. 29. The band is also slated for fall and winter dates, including a Glasgow stop, ensuring that Momsen’s “weird tour luck” continues to be a talking point among fans who adore her unpredictable, high-energy live shows. The mix of rock history, daring onstage moments, and Momsen’s quick-witted comments keeps audiences engaged as the Power Up Tour rolls onward.
