OlderTaylor Momsen: 'Light Me Up' Album Cover!
Taylor Momsen and her rock band The Pretty Reckless just released new artwork!
They wrote on their official site, “We wanted our fans to be the first to see – check out the album cover art for Light Me Up, out in the UK on August 30th!”
The cover art shows a female blonde toddler holding up a lighter, undoubtedly a mini-version of Taylor Momsen with the leather jacket and studded dress!

does this girl have parents/guardian that actually know how to parent and guard? i don’t want to sound like i’m an advocate for virginal and perfect teens.–believe me, i was not a perfect teenager myself. but i was fortunate to have parents who curbed my attitude and said no, and grounded be for the whole summer when i got caught with cigs. by trying to act all mature, she just proves to be immature. so sad to see talented young women wanting to be grown up so soon.
Another inappropriate outfit for Taylor… :P
…so silly. someone hand her another trying-too-hard award. how many does she have now?!? ahahahahahahahaa.. silly little girl.
This is so inappropriate that it horrifies me! A toddler playing with a lighter! Way to go, idiots! Don’t these people have brains that they can’t see how dangerous this particular image is! This should have been banned from the outset, it’s simply too brain dead for words!
im glad they didnt put black make up on that poor girl
Since pop culture has to continue to become new, girls seem to have to continue to get worse, because it was so long ago when it was cool for them to be good. And it’s even less exciting to see that it’s all an act of privilege and entitlement anyway.
@Brightside:
I’m with you 100%, this is absolutely WRONG in all corners. Why would they have an innocent toddler hold a lighter, promoting smoking, fires that kill, and it troubles me beyond belief!!
Also, in regards to this marketing and our society currently, I’m disgusted with the production of VIOLENT games that are available for children/teens to play on the XBOX, PLAYSTATION, etc… Our future generations are impacted greatly in a negative way and we need to get a grasp on this matter NOW!!!
We need to provide positive/inspiring thoughts to our children for a BETTER future. Right?
I’m glad that I’m a 17 year old girl, and haven’t even come close to going down the same path that Taylor chosen to go on. Just because you smoke, drink, or have sex doesn’t make you anymore of a person. I don’t get what she’s trying to prove or promote. I think her album cover is yes, different, but really really sad. Kids playing with fire? I don’t think so. That made me not even want to listen to her music. I’ll pray for you Taylor.
One person dies in a house fire in the US every 158 minutes.
The biggest cause of house fires is smoking.
One third of people killed in smoking related house fires are children. In quite a few instances the house fire was caused by children playing with lighters.
A responsible parent teaches a child never to play with lighters or matches so what the hell is this deeply irresponsible image doing on this cover!
I can understand that this idiocy might have come from the immature and foolish mind of a sixteen year old child but surely there were adults involved in the process…so what the hell were THEY thinking?
THAT IS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Brightside:
Exactly Brightside!!! You are right on target and this should of NEVER been considered as a rough draft for this album art!! Is this what we call ART these days? UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Agree. This cover is INSANE !!!
child abuse!!! oh my… dat kid is innoncent, they just dress her up, gave her lighter, n POSE.. oh my.. do her parents REALISE this?? or they just ignore, for the GREENS???
I think all of you guys are over reacting. The picture is most definitely not “disgusting”, it’s just a child holding a lighter. It in no way promotes smoking. She’s not holding a cigarette too. It’s a picture and I’m sure that the people taking it lit the lighter then simply handed it to the kid… She’s holding it far away from herself. I think it’s fine, personally. It’s just cover art.
Taylor Momsen rocks !!!
Great cover =D
I kind of like the cover !
You guys should really chill out. It’s an album cover it can’t hurt you.
Brightside, you are absolutely right, this cover is totally inappropriate for many reasons, and also, for anyone out there who says it doesn’t promote smoking, what do you think that type of lighter is used for???? A barbecue??? I just can’t believe this kid’s parents pimped her out for this.
How appropriate this cover “art” is! I had nothing particular against this Taylor Momsen chick but she’sz seriously getting on my last nerves now. What the hell is she trying to prove? How immature she is? HA. Gimme a ***** break. I’m almost 20 and I’ve been wild, I still am but she and I have different conceptions of what “wild” means. I used to dress “over the top” and well, “sexy” back when I was like 13,14 etc but it never went that far. She’s acting like one of those stupid b!tches who dress hot and are then surprised to give birth. I was smart enough not to get pregnant or do things that bad. I thought Momsen could see the limits but she’s apparently not seeing them. As for the kid, her parents are to blame. What kind of parent let their kid hold a lighter for $$$?! And yea, Brightside is absolutely right, there must have had grown ups involved in the process of this album cover, but then again, if you really think about it, they’re doing it on purpose, too. Also for the dollars! Which is sad. Ugh. We do live in a crazy world that promotes sex and more importantly violence. I feel bad for the next generation, the future. We’re going straight into the wall.
Just another desperate attempt at being all provocative and edgy. It’s actually really pathetic. Taylor will never be taken seriously, she needs to get over herself and stop making sh*tty ‘music’.
I wonder why people here even bother to comment on that whole thing if they gonna trash her anyway….let’s be honest – she didn’t picked the cover out herself – she has a band and I guess they all gonna have a saying and don’t forget the record label
LOVE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
its way more dangerous to promote supposedly clean cut idols who tend to demonize sex than this for example jonas brothers justin beiber etc that smoking can cause lung cancer n various other diseases is proven n we can see it every day with proper education children can easily realize it too but what about those religious freaks that have taken place in politics schools n now entertainment?doesnt it suck that teen sexuality even today is considered almost a crime n there is no proper education for theese matters?
Im sure all she wanted to accomplish was to get people talking about her band. No one would pay attention to them otherwise.
Sorry but I kinda like this cover. For some reason it reminded me of the Van Halen album cover. Stay calm people. I don’t care for the singer, though.
