You’ll Love This Rare Catch-Up With Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen

In the meantime, she’d already been having a blast just rehearsing every night with her band, a process she loves “because it’s just the four of us making music without the pressure of the show,” she said. But when they do take the stage in front of an audience, “we’re going to do our thing like we always do.”

Only this time, she has “this new outlook on life,” she shared. “One with the universe, be breezy and don’t overthink things too much. And I’m sure that these experiences we’re about to have with the Stones and AC/DC, there’ll be something to draw from as well. Everything happens for a reason, to a degree, so I’m sure there’ll be songs that aren’t written yet.”

And a lot has happened to prove to Momsen she was right to trust her instincts at such an early age.

She’d tell child actors trying to navigate life in the public eye to “know it’s a bunch of crap,” Momsen added. “Do what you love, focus on your craft and yourself as a human being, and take care of yourself.”
