On this episode, Alternative Press Editor-in-Chief Anna Zanes sits down with Taylor Momsen — frontwoman of the Pretty Reckless and former actor — to talk about the band’s fifth album, Dear God.
Momsen breaks down why the record is the most personal and vulnerable she’s ever written, how years of loss, growth, and life on the road found their way into the songs, and why the album feels like “a rebirth in a lot of ways.”

She also talks about writing as the way she’s always made sense of her life, the notebooks that have stayed with her through every chapter, and why, without songwriting, “I don’t know who I would be as a person.” Plus, she looks back on touring with AC/DC, shares what she’s learned from nearly two decades in the Pretty Reckless, and hints at what’s ahead for the Dear God headlining tour.
