Taylor Momsen, who stars as Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl and apparently fronts a rock band called Pretty Reckless, played a show with her bandmates at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC, NY last night in celebration of her super sweet 16th birthday. Here are a few snaps of Little J, er, I mean Taylor Moms rockin’ out in NYC last night:
I never knew that Taylor Momsen had any musical talent to speak of … and by the Courtney Loveness of the way she looked on stage last night, I’d say the jury is still out on her talents. But, she’s young, rich, famous and on a hit TV series … if she wants to play in a band, then she gets to play in a band. After the jump, check out a few photos of Taylor being presented with her pretty birthday cake at last night’s event — the poor dear didn’t even know what do with it … and video of the band performing their song Bleeding …
I understand that a few of Taylor‘s GG co-stars came out for last night’s gig … including Chace Crawford, Jessica Szhor, Ed Westwick and Michelle Trachtenberg. It looks like it was a fun event … still, I’m not all that convinced that Taylor has the chops to be a rock star. She does have the cracked out look down, tho. Here is video of Pretty Reckless, fronted by T. Moms, performing their song Bleeding:
Uhhhh … yeah. I don’t know quite what to say so I’ll just say … Happy Birthday, Moms!

i think shes pretty good..
i didnt know about her band
she is so full of herself….
cant stand her both on GG and in real life!
i think she’s a pretty good singer.
she definitely doesn’t look or sound her age though.
I totally agree with everyone just about! I didn’t know she was only 16! I thought she was at least in her 20′s. JEEZ! I think she sounds good. : )
it sounds…..not bad i guess
it seems fame has changed her, i remember how sweet she was when she took the role of little jenny humphrey! she seems vry pretentious now :( i hope she doesnt come to any harm though
I love her voice. it’s nuts just how mature and cool she sounds. She’s somewhere between Courtney Love and Sass Jordan. Awesome.
@LizzyMae — to me, it sounds like she’s somewhere beween Marboloro Menthols and Marlboro Reds in a box
trainwreck. ’nuff said.
I really like her voice, it surprised me.
..but I agree with FK, she really needs to work on her stage presence.
Well, the courtney love shit is a turn-off, and I don’t like the vibe she gives on stage, but you know.. Her voice isn’t that bad. I don’t think she’s in the zomg best band evar category, but if she released music online, I’d totally illegally download it and listen to it a couple of times. -shrug- Very 90′s like Brayden mentioned. ;)
Um. No.
You are so right about the Courtney Love-ness of this kid. It’s not very flattering.
Aww I don’t like the C. Love comparisons. I see the resemblance though, unfortunately. I think Taylor’s voice sounds AMAZING though! WOW!
what happened to her? she used to be a normal 15-16 year old. now she looks so trashy and over done. hate the hair, make-up, and clothes. get a new stylist.
I may not be into her whole look but when I listen to the video instead of watching it, I get pretty into the song :)
girlfriend looks beat for a 16 year old, and wtf is she wearing? ooh she`s so edgy!! blah
Hey guys cut her some slack I’m sure we are all guilty of some awful fashion mishaps when we were 16. I recall flannel shirts and combat boots. I even remember my older cousins running around dressed as Madonna from the Like A Virgin tour, or even worse like Debbie Gibson/Tiffany, and my older guy cousins wearing their pants inside out or backwards or cutting one leg off. Not their finest moments. I’m sure she is enjoying herself as a teenager, and experimenting with her looks.
@jaded — I know the stylist I employed at age 16 never let me look a mess.
I really think she has a similar sounding voice with Ashlee Simpson. That raspy, can’t put your finger on it sound. Agreed that the stage presence is lacking…but she doesn’t sound extremely terrible!
Overall, her performance wasn’t amazing. But she’s got something there with her voice. I’ve seen WAY worse than this. Kudos to her for actually getting out there and doing it though.
Her voice is so…………… odd?
I find it hard to believe it is hers.
And seriously who cares if he knows about some 15 year old’s band or not. She’s not a major celebrity. weirdos
