AC/DC Opener Taylor Momsen Gets Bit By a Bat During Performance
Taylor Momsen was belting out the song "Witches Burn" in front of a sold out crowd in Sevilla, Spain, when a serious "rock and roll moment" unfolded before the stunned crowd.
She was bitten by a bat.
The Pretty Reckless singer, one of the opening acts at the sold out AC/DC concern, didn't even know the bat was on her leg until the crowd pointed it out.

Momsen Didn't Feel The Bat At First
"You guys are pointing at something, but I don't know what you're saying" the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless said after finishing her song.
A few seconds later, Momsen noticed and screamed "Oh my GOD!"
"There's a f**king flying bat on my leg right now… can someone help me?" Momsen asks. Video shows her guitarist telling her not to touch it, while a very hesitant crew member was like "WTF do I do?" before grabbing the bat with a towel as the crowd applauded.

Momsen is also an actress, known for her time on Gossip Girl as well as playing Cindy Lou Who in the live adaptation of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," starring Jim Carrey.
'There's a F'n Flying Bat On My Leg!'
Afterwords, Momsen took to her socials to tell fans that she was indeed bitten by the bat - declaring it a "Rock and Roll Moment!" while joking that she "Must be a real witch!" since it happened during her Witches Burn song. She adds that she will be taking two weeks of rabies injections as well.
Whew. Talk about a heck of a story.
Pretty sure "being bitten by a bat" is up there in the most outrageous experiences. Don't really hear that at a bar as drunk people try to one-up each other with their wildest life moments.
And to have it happen while opening for AC/DC of all bands? If I'm Momsen I'm now going full vampire-mode for my next set, and also coming out to sing "Back in Black" with the legendary rock band.
