In a new interview with Out, the "Going Blonde" singer got candid about her sexual orientation and revealed she identifies as pansexual.

"Yes, I'm pansexual," Adell, 24, told the outlet on the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards red carpet at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles on March 29.

"It's funny when people ask me my sexual orientation, but I feel like you should be able to hear that in my music," the country star added. "There's more of that coming."

Adell previously spoke about having romantic feelings for women in a June 2024 Glitter Magazine interview about her song "Strawberry Crush," centered around wanting to flirt with someone of the same sex in a grocery store.

"Swear she saw me starin' at the sway in her hips / Through the produce section, what was she gonna get? / Those bright red nails picked up that little green basket / Man, if that's how she gets it / Then I gotta have it," she sings on the track.

Explaining the title, Adel told Glitter a "Strawberry Crush" describes the moment "when you start to have a crush on a girl — and this one just happened to be one that I never saw again but randomly in a grocery store"

The "Buckle Bunny" artist has been quite open with her fans as of late. She's long spoke about being adopted, but in a series of Instagram videos shared this week, she revealed she has a brother she never knew about and that her biological mother died years before she ever had the chance to meet her.

She released a new single, "Going Blonde," on March 28, inspired by the deeply personal story and her bio mom’s Dolly Parton-esque blonde hair, which led her to try the color on for herself.

“I’ve been really intentional with how I wanted to put this song out,” Adell told PEOPLE at the GLAAD Media Awards on March 27. “I wrote it almost four years ago when I was going through a process of my birth family finding me, and me finding out some truths that I wasn’t expecting, and I kind of had to become a whole new person through that.”
