Sydney Sweeney Goes Viral Again With ‘Unwritten’ Performance
After turning heads with her slinky red gown, Sydney Sweeney’s virality increased further when she took the stage with her costar Glen Powell to perform “Unwritten” alongside Natasha Bedingfield.
The iconic pop song, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, was a central piece in the viral romcom, Anyone But You, starring Sweeney and Powell in a classic “faked romance turned actual lovers” story.
In the movie, Powell’s character calms his anxieties with the 2004 hit, a moment the pair referenced before breaking into song at the People’s Choice Awards.
After taking the stage together, Sweeney asked, “You alright, Glen?” to which Powell replied, “Yeah, it’s just a lot of people here. I don’t know, I’m a little nervous.”
“Do you want me to do that thing that calms you down?” Sweeney replied, leading the audience in an “Unwritten” chant.
Before long, Natasha Bedingfield was on stage with them, the trio receiving raucous applause as the actors made a charming attempt at harmonizing with the songstress.
