Sydney Sweeney adored the sleek Mônot dress, gracing the People’s Choice Awards with her presence, embodying the essence of Hollywood glamor. Joined by her co-star from Anyone But You Glen Powell, Sweeney took center stage to present the Female Country Artist of the Year award to Lainey Wilson.

I don’t know, I’m a little nervous,” Powell responded. 

Sensing his discomfort, Sweeney, in a moment of spontaneity, decided to ease his nerves by invoking their recent collaboration, Anyone But You. Sweeney suggested, “Do you want me to do that thing that calms you down?” As she led the audience in a rendition of Natasha Bedingfield’s Unwritten, the atmosphere shifted, and Powell found himself reluctantly joining in despite claiming that “My serenity song is not gonna help.” In the film, Anyone But You, Powell’s character relies on Bedingfield’s Unwritten song in the situation of problem and discomfort to gain back his serenity. The track made its feature on multiple instances in the film, including the end credits scene featuring the whole cast singing along to it!

To the delight of everyone present, Natasha Bedingfield herself emerged from backstage, adding her iconic voice to the mix.
