Singer Taylor Momsen, known for her role in Gossip Girl, had a unique experience during a recent rock show in Spain. Momsen, performing with her band The Pretty Reckless, encountered a bat that clung to her leg during the song ‘Witches Burn.’ The incident led to Momsen being playfully nicknamed ‘bat girl’ by fans and hospital staff.

As the bat landed on her leg, fans pointed and shouted, prompting Momsen to inquire about the commotion before realizing the situation. She calmly addressed the audience, requesting assistance in removing the bat from her leg. Despite the unexpected interruption, Momsen maintained her composure, with onlookers praising her professional reaction.

Following the show, Momsen humorously remarked, ‘I must really be a witch,’ as her bandmates and crew worked to safely remove the bat. Once the bat was gone, she expressed gratitude and humorously declared the bat as her ‘new friend.’ However, as a precaution, Momsen later received rabies shots at a hospital and shared the experience on social media.

The incident garnered attention locally, with hospital staff affectionately referring to Momsen as ‘bat girl.’ Some fans drew parallels between Momsen’s bat encounter and the infamous moment when rock icon Ozzy Osbourne famously bit the head off a bat during a concert decades ago.

Momsen’s band, The Pretty Reckless, is currently on tour with AC/DC, with upcoming performances including a show at London’s Wembley Stadium in July. Despite the unexpected bat incident, Momsen’s stage presence and humor have endeared her to fans and hospital staff alike.
