In the midst of her set at the Nashville Pride concert on June 19, Vanessa Carlton surprised the crowd of 18,000 by announcing that she’s bisexual, Popeater.com is reporting. “I’ve never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman,” the ‘Thousand Miles’ singer announced on stage.

Carlton headlined the 22nd annual event, which aims to celebrate the “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Middle Tennessee,” according to its website, http://nashville.metromix.com.  While Carlton didn’t say she was involved with anyone right now, she has dated John Mayer and Third Eye Blind singer Stephen Jenkins in the past.

The news comes in wake of Anna Paquin’s admission that she is also bisexual. Carlton is also set to release her fourth album, ‘Rabbits on the Run,’ later this year.
