The singer was opening for AC/DC in Spain when a bat clung to her leg and bit it, requiring Momsen to get rabies shots.

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.

Ted Cruz's Epic Freudian Slip About 'Pedophiles' During Senate Speech Resurfaces—And Oof

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked for an October video that resurfaced and showed him offering some bipartisan advice during a Senate hearing, only for his advice to go completely off the rails after an awkward "verbal slip" that made him look as if he was defending "pedophiles."

That's really not the best look considering what we know from the latest release of documents related to the Epstein files, which contain information about some of President Donald Trump's former friend and associate Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers. The late disgraced financier was a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker.
