Alanis Morissette has come out as pansexual.
The "You Oughta Know" songstress revealed the news during an appearance on the Nov. 3 episode of the Handsome podcast, hosted by Fortune Feimster, Tig Notaro and Mae Martin.
The conversation turned to the Grammy winner's experiences with heartbreak after Feimster joked about whether being hurt by men had ever made the singer "want to be a lesbian."
"I'm pansexual, so yeah," Morissette replied. She later confirmed her answer when Notaro asked if she was serious.
When Notaro joked that Morissette should have led with the revelation, the singer quipped, "You know, I like to leave it for the epilogue. I like to confuse people on the way out."
Pansexuality describes an attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or sex.
The musician, who has been married to Mario "Souleye" Treadway since 2010, has previously discussed her experiences with women. In a 2008 interview with The Advocate, she described exploring her sexuality in her youth as "a beautiful rite of passage."
