Pretty Reckless singer tells MTV News, ‘Evanescence was one of the first shows I ever went to.’ By Vaughn Trudeau Schoonmaker, with reporting by Matt Elias Taylor Momsen Photo: MTV News For Taylor Momsen , sharing the stage with Evanescence is “surreal.” “Evanescence was one of the first shows I ever went to,” the singer and former “Gossip Girl” actress told MTV News last week, right before her band, the Pretty Reckless , opened for Evanescence at the historic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. “I’m a big fan of Evanescence, so it’s really exciting to be opening for them,” she told us. The accolades went both ways: Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee had nothing but nice things to say about the young rocker. “She’s got a great voice; she’s real sweet,” Lee said with a smile, laughing that being one of Momsen’s first concerts makes her feel “old, but very, very flattered.” The 18-year-old Momsen has been on tour since her band’s debut album, Light Me Up, was released last year. “We’ve been touring a lot overseas lately, so it’s definitely a lot of fun to be back in the States,” she told us. Describing her band’s performance style, Momsen revealed, “We never really have a set list. We kind of go up and play whatever and work it out onstage. It keeps it exciting that it’s different every night.” As far as writing material for a second album, she said, “We’re always writing. We’re just figuring out now how to write on the road, which is definitely a different type of process.” Have you seen the Pretty Reckless in concert? Let us know in the comments below!
