On Saturday, Demi Lovato opened up about her sexuality and doing what feels right in an interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast.

"I'm so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was, like, super closeted off," she said.

"You like girls? You like boys?" Rogan asked for clarification.

Lovato first answered, "Yeah, anything, really" before later confirming that she's pansexual.

The "Dancing With The Devil" singer also added how proud she is to be a member of the LGBTQ community and to finally be living in her truth.

"I heard someone call the LGBTQIA+ community the alphabet mafia," she said. "That's it! That's what I'm going with."

"I had to speak my truth and tell the world, 'Hey, my truth isn't going to be what you want it to be anymore," she continued. "I'm here to tell you I'm going to live mine no matter what you think of it because it feels right to me."

In a March 2021 cover story with Glamour, Lovato confessed that she is "too queer" to be with a cisgender man.

"This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn't work, I was like, 'This is a huge sign.' I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn't going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth," she said.

"I hooked up with a girl and was like, 'I like this a lot more.' It felt better. It felt right," Lovato said. "Some of the guys I was hanging out with - when it would come time to be sexual or intimate, I would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like, 'I just don't want to put my mouth there.'"

The former Disney Channel star previously opened up about the first time she realized she was queer.

"It was definitely when I was young and should not have been watching 'Cruel Intentions,' but I did, and it was that scene where they made out on the park lawn and I was like, 'Oh, wait a minute, I want to try it.' And then when I was like 17 I did get down with that," the singer told Tan France in a Facebook Watch interview in October 2020.

Lovato has long been supportive of the LGBTQ community; she has attended Pride events, penned love letters to the LGBTQ community, and embraced queer narratives through songs in her catalog, such as "Made In The USA" and "Cool For The Summer."

In 2017, the latter song helped her come out to her parents, Patrick Lovato and Dianna De La Garza.

Her parents officially found out she would possibly end up with a woman when she released the hit summer song, containing the lyrics, "Tell me what you want, what you like, it's okay/ I'm a little curious too/ Tell me if it's wrong, if it's right, I don't care/ I can keep a secret, can you?"

While her dad realized she was coming out once the song dropped, the singer was nervous to tell her mother - who did end up supporting her too and said she just wanted her daughter to be happy.
