The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen on battle with depression | Nightline

They're a pretty successful band, but still incredibly, incredibly underrated.

She is ahead of her time. I remember when she first started releasing music and people couldn’t deny her music was good, but it was overshadowed by society’s inability to accept Gossip Girl’s Jenny showing such a “dark side” or “promiscuse side”. Now, people (I hope) realize how vulnerable and raw she’s been to show how hard depression and life can be. I can’t even imagine going through regular life..in the public eye. Especially as someone who’s been in the industry at such a younger age, when things were so different than they are now…best wishes to Taylor. She rocks. Her music rocks. Queuing it up after this!! Wish her nothing but goodness. Over and out.

She's a wonderful performer. Best wishes for her.

I remember seeing when she first turned to rock and everyone said she had "taken the wrong path" or that she must be a gothic drug fiend because she's a rocker. Honestly, the saddest and most heartfelt stories you hear are in the rock industry. So many legends that rule the industry are long gone. Taylor has lost a lot of friends in the industry. Taylor is an amazing musician and she's an absolute trooper. She has a voice of a rockstar and the face of an angel. That juxtaposition us just so alluring. What a strong woman. She deserves an apology from the Internet.

She's an amazing talent glad she's pulling through & sharing her gift with the world!!! Keep rockin Taylor!!!!

"Make Me Wanna Die", "Under the Water" and "House on a Hill" are my favs of hers...her voice is amazing

I have been struggling with depression for a long time since I was 8 years old so I know what she is going through and I wish her the best.

she is pure and authentic. She is extremely rare.

I don’t know much about Taylor but she seems very inspirational. She’s overcome so much and was able to push through it. I wish her much continued success. 🖤🖤

She's such a wonderful woman been following her since the first pretty reckless album and they are so underrated she has a voice for rock and roll if you listen to her cover of champagne supernova it's mind blowing of how good it is and the power of her voice I highly recommend checking it out.

Incredible woman, incredible band!

She's such a badass. Right up there with Amy Lee, going through so much darkness and being so judged for being a woman, yet she's so strong and brave.

I am so relieved to hear Taylor's words in this interview. She seems to still be in a profound place of healing, which can be so daunting & unsteady, but she's not given up. I've worried about her mental health, so it's wonderful to see she's opening up. She's been an inspiration & hero of mine for probably 9 years. I hope she continues caring for herself & always knows that she is a LIGHT ✨🕯️💫

Taylor, irrespective of the ignorance of the mainstream media and people weighing in on only what you wear, there are some of us that really understand great music and powerful lyrics and the incredible talent that you and your band have, and are grateful! You are putting out incredible stuff out there! The Pretty Reckless are extremely underrated! you guys deserve so much more! don't let anything stop you from keeping up the amazing work!

I love her voice. She's a natural talent for sure. Praying for peace and happiness in her life. 🙏🏻

She's right. Once you experience the death of a dear loved one, you will never ever be the same. Now you simply have to deal with it. You don't really understand how difficult it is until you experience it. Best wishes to her and I hope she pulls through. She's still a young lady, so much to live. Stay strong, Taylor

Her scream is so good. It's beautiful to hear her scream in her songs,...almost as cute as her clearing her throat just before singing any of my favorite songs she does that in. Yep. Big old fan I am.

Clinical depression, is hard to explain or convey. Best wishes for her. I hope she sticks with some professional help.

I’m so happy she’s picking herself up. I don’t actively listen to her music, but I’ve watched her grow in her career and I commend her for talking about this. Very brave!

This is an amazing woman! So much talent! I respect her so much for going public with this. She's never going to know how many people she's going to help find the courage to seek help for their depression.
