You might remember Taylor Momsen from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Gossip Girl and have seen her style transformation throughout the years.
Now, the rock singer and actress went viral after experiencing a very strange incident: she was bitten by a bat while performing onstage.
Momsen was singing during a show with her band, The Pretty Reckless, as the opening act for AC/DC on their Power Up Tour.
Videos show the moment when the singer asks for help after realizing it was a bat that had just bitten her. After receiving assistance, the show continued; however, the former actress and now singer had to be taken to the hospital, where she received injections to protect against rabies.

The singer surprised her fans with how she handled the situation, taking it lightly and even joking, “I must really be a witch,” as she was singing the song “Witches Burn” when the bat bit her. You can even hear someone in the crowd saying “Muy profesional, ¿eh?” in Spanish, which means “Very professional, huh?”
“The bat is fine,” she laughed off as she continued to interact with the public.
After the scary incident, Momsen also posed next to a “no bats” sign taped onto some of AC/DC’s stage equipment.

“Ok… so @acdc has the best crew ever,” she wrote. “Love you guys!!!”
The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress mentioned that she will undergo rabies shots for the next two weeks. She also thanked the hospital staff for helping her with what could have been a dangerous incident.
What if it wasn’t a bat, but a vampire fan? Anyway, we wish Taylor Momsen a speedy recovery.
