Singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette has opened up about her sexuality, revealing that she identifies as pansexual during a recent podcast appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 52-year-old musician made the revelation while joining comedians Fortune Feimster, Tig Notaro, and Mae Martin on the Handsome<\/em> podcast on November 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What began as a lighthearted conversation about relationships quickly turned into a personal moment that surprised the other guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the discussion, the group reflected on the heartbreak and personal experiences behind some of Morissette’s most famous songs, including her iconic hit “You Oughta Know.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortune Feimster praised the singer for turning painful relationship experiences into music that continues to resonate with listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it. Those are pretty amazing,” Feimster said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She then jokingly asked Morissette whether those experiences had ever made her consider becoming a lesbian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The singer responded with a revelation that caught the group off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “That’s kind… I’m pansexual, so yeah,” Morissette said, adding humorously, “I get everything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tig Notaro appeared surprised and asked whether she was actually pansexual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Morissette confirmed that she was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Notaro joked that the singer should have mentioned it at the beginning of the episode, Morissette explained that she preferred to save the revelation for the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “You know, I like to leave it for the epilogue,” she joked. “I like to confuse people on the way out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Morissette’s comments also brought attention to a sexual identity that is sometimes misunderstood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pansexuality generally describes romantic, emotional, or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It does not mean that someone is attracted to every person. Instead, gender is not necessarily a deciding factor in who they may develop feelings for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The term is sometimes compared with bisexuality, which broadly describes attraction to more than one gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the two identities can overlap, people may use these labels differently depending on how they understand and describe their own experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no single label that everyone must use, and personal identity is ultimately defined by the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alanis Morissette is not the only well-known musician to discuss the meaning of pansexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Miley Cyrus previously spoke about her own understanding of gender and sexuality in a 2016 interview with Variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cyrus explained that she had never felt completely comfortable with traditional labels and that the term bisexual did not fully reflect how she viewed attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She described not wanting to place herself or others into a box based on gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her comments helped bring wider attention to pansexuality and the different ways people understand their identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Morissette’s podcast appearance offered a glimpse into a personal part of her life while keeping the conversation lighthearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Known for her emotionally honest songwriting and outspoken personality, the singer has built a career around expressing complicated feelings through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This time, however, it was her own words rather than a song that became the focus of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her playful response made the moment memorable, while also opening up a broader conversation about identity and the different ways people describe themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette has opened up about her sexuality, revealing that she identifies as pansexual during a recent podcast appearance.
