Taylor Momsen was one of the many celebrities, including Megan Thee Stallion, Halsey, LL Cool J, Avril Lavigne and several who walked the red carpet Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles for the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
However, it was especially important for Pretty Reckless rocker, a former actress best known for her roles in Gossip Girl and How the Grinch stole Christmas, whose appearance was the first of its kind in five years. (Her band actually won the Rock Artist of the Year award in 2021, but she did not participate.)
Momsen returned in a black lace dress with a deep neckline, paired with platform combat boots. Her performance was one of many that the producers had announced prior to the event, and she later took the stage for the presentation of the award for Alternative Song of the Year.
On Momsen’s social media, she marked the evening with several posts on social media, including a video from the backdrop and a snapshot of herself sitting among the audience with model and America’s Got Talent Judge Heidi Klum.
While Momsen has been focused on her music for the past decade, she said AND! News that she is not against a return to acting.
“I say never never again in life, especially now with all the curveballs the world throws for everyone,” she said. “But no immediate plans.”
What definitely lies in her future is more time with her band, which was formed before the last episode of Gossip Girl was released in December 2012. They released their fourth album, Death by Rock and Rolllast year and they’re taking it on an international tour starting next month.
