A sudden medical issue interrupted the current tour schedule for Taylor Momsen, who is performing with The Pretty Reckless while on the road with AC/DC. The artist revealed she needed hospital care after suffering a reaction to a spider bite, sharing updates directly with fans online.
Images posted to her account showed visible irritation across her lower leg, stretching from knee to ankle. Despite the severity of the reaction, she indicated plans to continue performing, signaling that the scheduled concert in Mexico City would still go ahead the following day.
Social Media Updates Detail Condition
Momsen first alerted followers by posting a close-up photo of the affected area, along with a short message describing the situation. She mentioned the bite came from a poisonous spider and confirmed she had been admitted for treatment. Her tone remained steady, even as she described the experience.
A day later, she added more posts from inside the hospital. These included both photos and brief video clips, offering a clearer look at her condition. While she did not identify the exact species involved, she thanked the medical staff who handled her care and noted that they understood the seriousness of the reaction.

Incident Linked to Ongoing Tour
The bite did not occur immediately before her hospital visit. According to her own account, the incident happened earlier during the same tour stop in Mexico City. At the time, she explained that the spider bite caused a strong physical response, requiring immediate medical attention before she could return to the stage.
She described receiving treatment from local doctors, including an injection to manage the symptoms. Even then, she framed the moment as part of the unpredictable nature of touring, suggesting that unusual incidents can happen while traveling between venues.
Past Onstage Injury Resurfaces
This is not the first time Momsen has dealt with an animal-related incident during a live performance. Fans quickly pointed out a previous episode involving a bat during a concert nearly two years ago. That event took place while she was also touring with AC/DC.
During that earlier show, a bat reportedly flew onto the stage and bit her leg. The situation required a series of rabies shots that lasted for about two weeks. The incident drew attention at the time due to its unusual nature and the medical steps that followed.
