On Friday, singer Taylor Momsen shared an Instagram video of the moment she was bitten by a bat while opening for AC/DC on their Power Up tour.

During her performance in Seville, Spain, at the La Cartuja Stadium, a bat landed on her leg while she was singing “Witches Burn.” Unaware of the bat at first, Momsen continued performing until she noticed the crowd's reaction and saw the bat clinging to her leg.

She said:

“There’s a f**king flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me please?”

Assistants removed the bat and Momsen joked with the crowd, saying, “I must really be a witch.”

After the incident, she went to the hospital for rabies shots and later thanked the staff, who had dubbed her “batgirl."


People thought it was super cool.

Or, given it's a bat, maybe something else?

Definitely a blessing.

But unusual, nonetheless.

The Power Up tour will continue throughout Europe all summer. Bats not included.

Dan Rather Goes Viral With Epic 'Turkish Proverb' Aimed At Trump—And It's On Point

Legendary journalist Dan Rather went viral and had social media users nodding their heads after sharing a supposed Turkish proverb about "clowns" aimed at President Donald Trump.

In recent days, the Trump administration has come under fire for the Signal chat scandal, in which top officials discussed war plans in Yemen on an unsecured server; deported a man to El Salvador and defended the move because the man had "traffic violations;" has continued to court controversy over Trump's repeated threats to annex Greenland; has further aggravated relations with Canada; and launched a global trade war that has sent markets tumbling.
