As reported by Metal Journal, during THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘ performance on May 29 at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, Spain, where they were supporting AC/DC, a bat landed on lead singer Taylor Momsen‘s left leg.
After finishing the fifth song of THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘ set, “Witches Burn,” Taylor spoke to the crowd, saying: “You guys are pointing at something, and I wanna know what you’re saying.” She then looked down at her leg and noticed the bat, after which she return to the microphone and exclaimed: “There’s a f**king flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me, please? I must really be a witch.”
A stagehand quickly came over and removed the bat, prompting Taylor to say: “Gracias. It’s all right. And the bat’s fine. He’s gonna be my new friend,” before adding, “Holy f**k.”
She added: “I’m telling you. I’m a f**king witch. I attract the bats. Someone, bring out a black cat. It’s gonna be great.”
Momsen later shared a video of the incident on her Instagram, accompanied by a message where she wrote: “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!!!! @acdc #pwrup #BATGIRL”.
