Taylor Momsen was bit by a bat on stage! Taylor Momsen is the lead singer of the band The Pretty Reckless. However, you might remember her from 2000’s “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” as Cindy Lou Who.

Now, she’s battling a different sort of Grinch. The singer was bit by a bat while opening for AC/DC. How rock and roll is that? If she was only known for The Grinch, then this will definitely help her rock and roll street cred. Here’s more on the story below.

Taylor Momsen Bit By Bat While Opening For AC/DC

The Pretty Reckless is known for hit songs like “Make Me Wanna Die,” “Only Love Can Save Me Now,” and “And So It Went.” They’re a fantastic band! Some people might also remember lead singer Taylor Momsen playing little Cindy Lou Who in “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” back in 2000. Now, she’s making a name for herself on stage.

Taylor Momsen, who’s also a Gossip Girl alum, took to Instagram to share the video of her being bitten by a bat while opening for AC/DC on their Power Up Tour. This happened in Sevilla, Spain on Wednesday. Now, she has to undergo two weeks of rabies shots, according to The Hollywood Reporter! Bats have had a long history with rock and roll. Most notably was Ozzy Osbourne and his famous bite. Now, there’ll be a new bat story to add to the story of rock and roll.

In the caption, Momsen says, “So…ROCK AND ROLL MOMENT…in Sevilla Wednesday during “Witches Burn” of all songs…a BAT flew onto me and clung to my leg…in the moment I was performing and had no idea until the incredible crowd kept screaming and pointing…he was cute, but yes he bit me…so rabies shots for the next two weeks. Thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning…more footage to come…that’s one for the books!!!!” No kidding! Cool to see she’s in good spirits about everything. That could be a scary moment! If I saw a bee land on me I’d freak out even if I was on stage and performing. A bat? Who knows? That would be a scene. It sounds like she was a trooper throughout all of it.

Check out a video below!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

The 5 Lamest Super Powers In The Animal Kingdom

In the animal kingdom, evolution has bestowed upon various creatures abilities that are pretty awesome. The chameleon can change its skin to blend in with it’s environment. The octopus can mimic other creatures. The rhinoceros has super strength. Those are all awesome powers… the following are not as cool.

  • The Waxy Monkey Tree Frog

    Even some frogs have cool powers. There are frogs with deadly poison. There are frogs that have suction cup sticky feet to give it an awesome climbing ability. Then there’s the dumbass waxy monkey frog. What can it do? Well, it can secrete a wax. Is the wax deadly? Nope! It… um… it keeps its skin nice.

  • The Bird Of Paradise

    Some birds have incredible abilities. The eagle can see for miles and has razor sharp talons. Not the bird of paradise. What mighty powers was it given? The power to dance. Yep, that’s right… so it dances like Buffalo Bill to attract a mate. Not the coolest ability if ya ask me.

  • The Cow

    Outside of being delicious, the cow doesn’t have many abilities. It can eat grass. It can run away from danger… but its farts are dangerously world endingly powerful. Their asses literally melt away the ozone like the laser of an evil comic book villain. Pretty lame, cows.

  • The Grasshopper

    In the world of insects there are a ton of superpower-like abilities that are so very cool. The rhinoceros beetle is so strong that if it were our size it could literally punch buildings down. Even flies have super vision because of there crazy eyes. Not the grasshopper though. It can… hop. Yep, it can hop like really, really far. Oh and if they get emotional enough they can transform into locusts and eat alot. Very lame, the grasshopper.

  • The Capybara

    The capybara is a giant rodent that resembles a gigantic guinea pig. What can it do, run at cheetah-like speed? Nope. Is it super strong? Not particularly. BUT IT CAN… take a nice warm bath in the hot springs found in its habitat. If you google this creature you’ll see it’s other ability.. which is to balance vegetables on it’s head. Two VERY dumb superpowers.
