THE PRETTY RECKLESS's TAYLOR MOMSEN On Touring With AC/DC: 'I Think We've Made Some Lifelong Friends'
 In a new interview with The Mistress Carrie Podcast, Taylor Momsen spoke about THE PRETTY RECKLESS's support slot on AC/DC's massive "Power Up" 2024 and 2025 stadium tour across Europe and North America, which saw her outfit play to over three million people in iconic venues such as Los Angeles's Rose Bowl, Chicago's Soldier Field, London's Wembley Stadium, and Paris's Stade De France, among others. Asked what "lessons" she and her THE PRETTY RECKLESS bandmates learned through touring with AC/DC, Taylor said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Honestly, it's unbelievable. Getting to watch them every night was just a schooling. You just got schooled by AC/DC every night, in the best way possible, where you watch the show and you watch Angus [Young, AC/DC guitarist] up there running around and you just go, 'They're one of the inventors of this. This is what this is.' And they're everything you want them to be and more, as people and the show they deliver."
She continued: "I think they're on fire right now. They have something extra that they're giving to the audience, and it's just incredible to see every night. It's so loud, it's obscene — in the best way possible. Angus's amps are — I think they're, like, 110 dB [decibels] on stage before they even turn the P.A. on. So just that alone is so fucking rock and roll… It's so loud. And the fact that he controls that volume like it's nothing is insane. I mean, he's driving the race car of electric guitars on stage every night. They're just awesome. And then as people, they're awesome. They're as rock and roll as you can get. They're as kind as you can get. Just the whole camp, the whole everything was so welcoming and so gracious and supportive and just cool. And I think I can genuinely say after being out with them for so long now — I've had two birthdays on tour with AC/DC; I've been three different ages — that we've made a really special connection and I think we've made some lifelong friends. And that's just very surreal to say out loud, but also just awesome because at the end of the day, we're all people and we all love rock and roll. And that's your common thread."
THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a new single, "For I Am Death", in August. An accompanying music video, directed by Lewis Cater, was released alongside the single, which sees Taylor transform into a malevolent and haunting figure. Surrounded by sinister forces, she represents the personification of death that she embodied when writing the song.
In January 2024, THE PRETTY RECKLESS shared a photo of Taylor in the studio with Jonathan Wyman, who co-produced THE PRETTY RECKLESS's latest album, 2021's "Death By Rock And Roll", apparently confirming that Wyman has re-teamed with the group for the upcoming LP.
In November 2022, THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a new collection of music, "Other Worlds", via Fearless Records. The effort saw the group delivering its first proper acoustic recordings, unexpected covers and other reimaginings.
"Death By Rock And Roll" was made available in February 2021 via Fearless Records in the U.S. and Century Media Records in the rest of the world.
Upon release, "Death By Rock And Roll" topped multiple sales charts — including Billboard's Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital charts. The record also yielded three back-to-back No. 1 singles — "Death By Rock And Roll", "And So It Went" (featuring Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) and "Only Love Can Save Me Now" (featuring Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of SOUNDGARDEN). The band has tallied seven No. 1 singles at the rock format throughout its career.
"Death By Rock And Roll" was THE PRETTY RECKLESS's first album to be made without longtime producer Kato Khandwala, who died in April 2018 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
THE PRETTY RECKLESS formed in 2009 and consists of Momsen, guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins.
In 2021, Momsen — who rose to fame portraying the character of edgy little sister Jenny Humphrey on The CW's "Gossip Girl" — described "Death By Rock And Roll" in an interview with ABC Audio as a "battle cry for life and for hope."
