The singer was opening for AC/DC in Spain when a bat clung to her leg and bit it, requiring Momsen to get rabies shots.

On Friday, singer Taylor Momsen shared an Instagram video of the moment she was bitten by a bat while opening for AC/DC on their Power Up tour.

During her performance in Seville, Spain, at the La Cartuja Stadium, a bat landed on her leg while she was singing “Witches Burn.” Unaware of the bat at first, Momsen continued performing until she noticed the crowd's reaction and saw the bat clinging to her leg.


She said:

“There’s a f**king flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me please?”

Assistants removed the bat and Momsen joked with the crowd, saying, “I must really be a witch.”

After the incident, she went to the hospital for rabies shots and later thanked the staff, who had dubbed her “batgirl."


People thought it was super cool.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
