Taylor Momsen is recovering after being bitten by a venomous spider while on tour in Mexico.
The Pretty Reckless frontwoman, 32, shared a video on her Instagram page which showed her being seen by a doctor who gave her an injection to treat a painful swelling on her leg and the singer went on to reveal the injury was caused by a spider which took a "massive chunk" out of her during a stop in Mexico City.
Taylor - whose band is touring with rock legends AC/DC - joked to the camera: "When do my superpowers kick in? That's what I want to know."
She went on to note the incident came two years after she was bitten by a bat during a previous tour with AC/DC. She captioned the video: "So it wouldn't be an AC/DC tour if I didn't get bit …
"This time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night … add it to the list! Spider woman? Batgirl?"
Taylor was previously bitten by a bat while she was onstage at a show in Seville, Spain in May 2024 when The Pretty Reckless were previously opening for AC/DC.
