Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell brought a touch of Anyone But You magic to the People’s Choice Awards! When introducing the nominees for Female Country Artist, Sweeney surprised both Powell and the audience by singing “Unwritten,” a key song from their hit rom-com.
Powell confessed to stage jitters, but Sweeney wasn’t fazed. She launched into the chorus, even engaging the crowd with the line “staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window…”

Still nervous, Powell mumbled along, but Sweeney had a bigger surprise in store. With a flourish, she introduced none other than Natasha Bedingfield, the song’s original singer, who appeared onstage in a stunning red dress.
Bedingfield belted out the iconic chorus, joining Sweeney, Powell, and the entire audience in a joyful singalong. She even stayed on to announce the winner of the Female Country Star category, Lainey Wilson.
What started as a playful moment turned into a heartwarming reunion and a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of Anyone But You. The movie not only revived the early 2000s hit “Unwritten” for a new generation, but it also inspired countless TikTok tributes, with Bedingfield herself celebrating the song’s resurgence.
So, the next time you feel nervous on stage, remember Sweeney’s advice: sometimes, all you need is a serenade from a co-star and a surprise appearance by the original artist to turn things around!
