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.

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

New 'Stranger Things' Documentary Has Fans Convinced That There's Still Another Episode Coming

Following that epic conclusion of Stranger Things, fans barely had time to mourn character deaths, celebrate long-awaited reunions, and process the (spoiler alert) apparent end of Vecna before the discourse spiraled straight back into Hawkins-level chaos.

The series finale, which dropped on New Year’s Eve, delivered spectacle, sentiment, and something that looked a lot like finality. It also left a sizable portion of the fandom unconvinced that this is truly the end of the Upside Down. For a show built on hidden monsters, secret labs, and things not being what they seem, disbelief may be the most on-theme reaction of all.

Tucker Carlson Dragged After Offering Truly Bonkers Theory For Why Trump Captured Nicolás Maduro

Former Fox News host turned far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson raised eyebrows after he claimed that President Donald Trump captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in order to bring same-sex marriage to the people of a country now in a dangerous state of flux after the U.S. invaded.

Weirdly, he claimed “pro-gay forces” were secretly driving regime change, pointing to Nobel Peace Prize recipient and opposition leader María Corina Machado's support for same-sex marriage. He suggested this is proof that "globo homo," his term for progressive liberal elites, are hard at work.
