The Pretty Reckless frontwoman Taylor Momsen makes a striking return with the music video for For I Am Death, the band’s first single in four years. The 32-year-old rocker appears fully nude, adorned only in black body paint, in the Lewis Cater-directed visual. Shared via Instagram, a behind-the-scenes mirror selfie teased the video’s edgy aesthetic, which features Momsen writhing on the floor, highlighting her 5’8” frame. The single, out Friday, is expected to lead the band’s fifth studio album, though Momsen remained coy in a Loudwire Nights interview: “Stay tuned… the next 12 months will be insane.”

From AC/DC Tours to Rock Stardom

The release follows the band’s 15-month stint opening for AC/DC’s Power Up Tour, which grossed $75.8 million. Momsen called the experience a “dream,” praising the rock legends as “the inventors of rock and roll.” Since forming in 2009, The Pretty Reckless has sold over 1 million records and boasts 2.2 million monthly Spotify listeners. Next, they’ll cover Bad Company’s All Right Now for an October tribute album.

Childhood Stardom to Rock Rebellion

Momsen’s career began at age seven with Where Are You Christmas? for The Grinch soundtrack. She later starred as Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl (2007–2012) before quitting acting. “It was a childhood thing,” she told Penn Badgley on his Podcrushed podcast. “Once I could choose, I realized I could just play music.”

Embracing Music Full-Time

Since leaving acting, Momsen has focused on her band, calling music her true passion. She hasn’t reunited with Gossip Girl co-stars like Blake Lively since filming the series finale. Meanwhile, Lively’s recent legal disputes with a director remain unrelated to Momsen’s current projects.

What’s Next
Fans await For I Am Death and the band’s upcoming album, signaling a bold new chapter for Momsen. As she declared: “This is just the beginning.”
