In the post, Taylor, 30, snapped a mirror selfie in her bathroom.

The Gossip Girl alum wore all black, and had her white-blond hair hidden beneath a thick woollen beanie.

Taylor accessorized with plenty of silver jewelry, and hid her eyes behind round, thick-rimmed glasses.

The Grinch star's jeans hung low on her hips, held up by a loose studded belt, while she layered up her T-shirt with an unzipped hoodie.

As she snapped her selfie, she pulled up her tee high on her torso, showing that she was completely braless.

Taylor pouted as she revealed her bare underboob, alongside her washboard abs and sparkling belly button piercing.

Accompanying her pouty facial expression, she wrote: "Write, Workout, Ponder, Repeat. #grrmondays," along with a bear emoji.

In the comment section, plenty of the star's social media followers gushed over the steamy shot.

One person wrote: "Omg queen you look amazing!!"

A second agreed: "I will forever be in love with your beauty and self confidence and everything else, you're incredible Taylor!"

However, many fans thought that Taylor looked different in the pic, with one asking: "Whose face is that??"

Another seconded: "My exact question omg!!"

"Heavily filtered taylor," reasoned a third fan in response.

SAD BEGINNINGS

Taylor started working at a young age, with her parents signing her up with a modeling agency when she was just a toddler.

"My parents signed me up with Ford [Modeling] at the age of 2," she told Revolver Magazine.

"No two-year-old wants to be working, but I had no choice. My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn't have friends. I was working constantly and I didn't have a real life."

The star's breakout role was Cindy Lou Who in the 2000 hit movie, How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

"First of all, The Grinch changed my life in a multitude of ways — one of them being I was made fun of relentlessly," she said on SiriusXM's Podcrushed podcast, which is co-hosted by her Gossip Girl co-star and onscreen brother, Penn Badgley.

"Every time I would start a new school or go somewhere else, I don't even think the kids knew my name. I was just 'Grinch girl,'" Momsen added.

"Not even the character name [Cindy Lou Who], just Grinch girl. I got used to it, but it was alienating."

A NEW LIFE

After her childhood fame, Taylor again struck gold as a teen in the cult show Gossip Girl - but soon realized that acting wasn't her true passion.

While speaking to Penn, she shared: "I woke up one morning and went, 'Wait a second. I don’t have to do this? I don’t have to do this other job?' 

"'I can just play in my band and tour and write songs? I can just do that?'"

She mentioned: "Granted, a little more complicated to get out of a television show than that, but the answer was yes.”

She added that the Gossip Girl execs told her: "'Well, we can’t let you out of your deal, but we can write you out of the show, so you can go on tour.'"

Taylor, who now focuses entirely on her band, The Pretty Reckless, gushed: "They really allowed me to follow my dream, and I’m forever grateful and thankful to them for that."
