Taylor Momsen, vocalist of The Pretty Reckless, has cleared all posts from her Instagram account. She left only a mysterious black and white teaser video, as shown on Instagram.
The cryptic post has sparked speculation among fans about potential new music from the band.
“Friday,” Taylor Momsen wrote in the caption of her mysterious teaser video.
Fan reactions have been enthusiastic, with many hoping for new music announcements.
“I’m hoping for a new album, hopefully a live one,” one fan commented. “I know those don’t sell as much, but ‘what are you selling for.’ This band has saved Rock music.”
Another fan expressed similar excitement about the possibilities.
“My bet is new album news, new single drop, or tour dates!” another fan wrote.
The caption’s reference to “Friday” suggests that The Pretty Reckless may be planning to announce new music this coming Friday. This has raised expectations among their fanbase.
This latest social media move comes as The Pretty Reckless continues to maintain their position as one of rock’s most active and successful bands.
The Pretty Reckless have built a strong reputation for intense live performances in recent years. YouTube documented their April 2025 sold-out show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. They performed to an audience of 90,000 fans with powerful vocals by Momsen and a thunderous rhythm section, captured in a professionally filmed 4K concert video. This live reputation supports fan hopes for a possible live album or tour announcement.
The band’s latest studio album, Death by Rock and Roll, was released in early 2021 after a difficult period marked by the loss of their longtime producer Kato Khandwala. Wikipedia noted that Momsen has been candid about the struggle that inspired the album, saying it came from a dark place but also served as a form of catharsis. The Pretty Reckless made history as the first female-fronted group to have five number-one singles on the Mainstream Rock Chart with songs from that album.
The band continues to actively tour. RC Reader reported an upcoming May 25, 2025, show at The Rust Belt in East Moline, Illinois. This sustained touring schedule reinforces their reputation as one of rock’s busiest and hardest-working bands.
These accomplishments underscore the significance of Momsen’s latest social media move and heighten fan anticipation for what may be revealed this Friday.
