Taylor Momsen is honoring her favorite Upper East Sider.
After the unexpected passing of Michelle Trachtenberg on February 26, at the age of 39, the former star of Gossip Girl shared a heartfelt tribute, expressing their deep affection in a moving message.
17 years ago, when I first encountered this remarkable girl, I sensed an instant connection. She possessed intelligence, wit, courage, and a tender heart.

The Pretty Reckless singer went on, expressing, “Our late-night conversations, meant only for us, I’ll deeply miss them.

Every day, I will miss you, my love…I believe we really got each other and I am incredibly thankful for having had a friend like you in my life for such a long time.

I share in the collective grief of her fans worldwide, and my thoughts are with her family and nearest ones. So many words come to mind, but only she can hear them.

She let out a hearty laugh at someone’s joke, she stood up to authority when she sensed something wasn’t right,” Blake went on, “she took her work seriously, she felt honored to be part of this community and profession, even though it was tough at times.
