Taylor Momsen has said she does not plan to return to acting after stepping away from the industry more than a decade ago, following roles in How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Gossip Girl.

Speaking to People at Grammy Awards viewing party, the 32-year-old musician addressed whether she would ever consider acting again. “No. I mean, I’ve learned to never say ‘never’ in life anymore, because life is too bizarre,” Momsen said. “That’s what I figured out in my 32 years.”

She added that acting is no longer something she wants to pursue. “But it’s not something that I care to pursue,” she said. When asked if she might reconsider for a reboot connected to a previous project, Momsen remained firm. “I think I’m cool. I think I’m going to tour with AC/DC,” she said, referencing her band The Pretty Reckless joining the rock group on tour in 2026.

Momsen explained that music has become her primary focus. “I’m having a really good time in life. I love making music,” she said. “Acting was a childhood thing and music is something … that I always pursued for myself. There’s no character involved.” She also spoke about creative control, saying, “I don’t like being someone’s pawn. I like being in charge. I like writing the script. I like writing songs. That’s everything.”
