"Accompanied by the Foo Fighters as her backing band, Momsen performed two songs from Carey's secret alternative-rock album, Someone's Ugly Daughter,for the very first time on a public stage. Momsen lent the grit of her voice to "Hermit" and "Love Is a Scam," achieving the impossible by the time the first verse of "Hermit" hit: Carey was beaming with appreciation and glee."
"She was also on hand to induct Soundgarden into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last November, performing "Rusty Cage" with all of its members. (Her relationship with the band started in 2017, when the Pretty Reckless opened for what became Chris Cornell's final tour.) "At the end of the day," she says, "it's friends playing music together, and that's what it's all about.""
Taylor Momsen performed two songs from Mariah Carey's secret alternative-rock album Someone's Ugly Daughter at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala, backed by the Foo Fighters, marking the first public performances of those tracks. The album was released under the name Chick in 1995 and was written and produced by Carey during the Daydream sessions as an emotional escape. Momsen sang "Hermit" and "Love Is a Scam," and Carey visibly beamed with appreciation. Momsen previously honored Soundgarden by performing "Rusty Cage" while inducting the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Momsen describes covers as friends playing music together.
