Taylor Momsen Treated After Venomous Spider Bite Before Mexico City Show

Backstage treatment resolved the issue to keep tour plans intact.

Overview

  • The Pretty Reckless singer was bitten by a venomous spider before a Mexico City stadium show, and a video shows medics cleaning her leg and giving her a shot backstage.
  • In her Instagram caption, she said the venom "did a number" on her and thanked doctors in Mexico who delivered "quite the shot."
  • She joked "Spider woman? Batgirl?" in a repeat of her light tone after a 2024 bat bite in Seville that required hospital care and two weeks of rabies shots.
  • The bite did not cancel the set, with Setlist.fm logging a 10-song performance and noting two more Mexico City dates on the schedule.
  • The AC/DC stadium tour is slated for a short pause before a North American run in July, with The Pretty Reckless set to continue as the opener.
