“Gossip Girl” alum Taylor Momsen had a very, very close encounter with a bat while performing with her band in Spain last week.
The 30-year-old shared an Instagram video on Friday showing her on stage with her band The Pretty Reckless in Seville when a bat landed on her leg.
“You guys are pointing at something and I don't know what you're saying,” Momsen can be heard telling the crowd. Some people were pointing at her and shouting at her.
A moment later, he realized what was on his leg.
“I have a flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone please help me?” he said quietly into the microphone.

Several men rushed to the stage to help Momsen, who is best known for playing Jenny Humphrey on “Gossip Girl,” as she tried to protect herself from the bat.
“I really must be a witch,” Momsen joked to the crowd. “It's okay and the bat is okay. It's going to be my new friend.”
After the concert, Momsen said she was taken to the hospital for a rabies shot.
“He was cute but yes he bit me…so rabies shots for the next two weeks,” she wrote on Instagram.
Momsen thanked hospital staff, who she said dubbed her “batgirl” after seeing it on the local news.
In a separate post, Momsen said “rabies vaccines are no fun.”
The Pretty Reckless opens for AC/DC on their Power Up Tour.
