Actress Sophie Turner opened up about experimenting with her sexuality in an interview with Rolling Stone.

The 23-year-old “Games of Thrones” star, who is engaged to Joe Jonas, explained how she knew that Jonas was the one.

“I think once youā€™ve found the right person, you just know. I feel like Iā€™m much older a soul than I am in age. I feel like Iā€™ve lived enough life to know,” Turner says. “Iā€™ve met enough guys to know ā€” Iā€™ve met enough girls to know.”

When asked to clarify her comment about girls, Turner said “Everyone experiments. Itā€™s part of growing up. I love a soul, not a gender.”

Fans were thrilled she got candid about her sexuality and praised Turner on social media.

However, other people didn’t think it was right to label Turner’s sexuality when she didn’t put a label on it.

An estimated 1.6 million people on Saturday attended Madonna’s free concert on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach.

The concert, which was the last one as part of Madonna’s Celebration Tour, included a tribute to people lost to AIDS.

Bob the Drag Queen introduced Madonna before the concert began. Pabllo Vittar, a Brazilian drag queen and singer, and Anitta, a bisexual pop star who was born in Rio’s HonĆ³rio Gurgel neighborhood, also joined Madonna on stage.

Congresswoman Erika Hilton, a Black travesti and former sex worker, and Rio Municipal Councilwoman MĆ“nica BenĆ­cio, the widow of Marielle Franco, a bisexual Rio Municipal Councilwoman who was assassinated in 2018, are among those who attended the concert.

“Madonna showed that we fight important fights for the human rights of Black (people), young (people), women and LGBTQIA+ people, and against all injustice, discrimination, and violence,” saidĀ AssociaƧao Nacional de Travestis e Transexuais (National Association ofĀ TravestisĀ and Transsexuals), a Brazilian trans rights group known by the acronym ANTRA, on itsĀ X account.Ā “What they call identitarianism’ is our subversion to the retrograde and conservative tackiness that plagues the country.”

The Associated Press reported the concert was Madonna’s biggest ever.
