The Pretty Reckless

Taylor Momsen is a singer, songwriter, and actress best known as the frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless, a multi-platinum American rock band formed in 2008. Renowned for their raw,

grunge-inspired sound and emotionally charged lyrics, the band seamlessly blends elements of hard rock, post-grunge, and alternative music.

Taylor’s journey has been extraordinary: transitioning from unforgettable performances in film and television (How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Gossip Girl) to leading The Pretty Reckless to

rock history with seven #1 songs on rock radio and tours alongside legends like AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, and Soundgarden.

With 2025 marking the 25th anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and a landmark year for the band, including a new album and a North American tour with AC/DC, the timing

couldn’t be more perfect.

Their breakout album, Light Me Up (2010), introduced hits like “Make Me Wanna Die.” Subsequent albums, including Going to Hell (2014), Who You Selling For (2016), and Death by Rock

and Roll (2021), solidified their reputation with chart-topping singles. With seven #1 singles at rock radio, they’ve become one of the most successful female-fronted rock bands in history.

The band’s electrifying live performances have taken them to global stages, opening for legends like Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC. Their 2024 tour with AC/DC marked their most successful year yet, showcasing their ability to command stadium audiences.
