Sydney Sweeney Reveals How Glen Powell Helped Her Cameo in Hit Song
Here's how Sydney Sweeney ended up on a Tate McRae song.
Sydney Sweeney recently shared the backstory behind her unexpected feature on Tate McRae's song 'Miss Possessive.' She credited her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell for making the connection happen.
During a guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson asked how the collaboration happened and whether Sweeney already knew McRae. Sweeney admitted she had long admired McRae's work, saying, 'So, I have been a huge fan of her music. I think she's so beyond talented and she's so hot.' She went on to explain how collaboration came together after Powell acted as the go-between.
According to Sweeney, 'Glen actually connected me with her. He was like, 'Hey, Tate wants me to connect you two. Can I give her your number?' I said, 'Yeah, sure.'' Following that introduction, McRae contacted Sweeney and asked her to send a voice recording for her upcoming album. The actress said, 'She reached out and was like, 'Hey, I really would love to sample your voice for a portion of my song on my new album. Would you be down?' And I'm like 'Hell yes.''
Sweeney saying, 'No, seriously, get your hands off my man,' became the opening line of the album's first track, 'Miss Possessive,' which appears on McRae's So Close to What. The moment quickly became a highlight for fans, who were surprised to hear Sweeney's voice on the song.
Both Clarkson and Sweeney agreed that the collaboration was a 'cool' moment, with the actress clearly thrilled to be involved. The revelation arrived just as Powell's ex, Gigi Paris, appeared to break her silence about their breakup.

Where is Alison Sweeney now? The Biggest Loser host has a totally different life today
Netflix has got an impressive roster of documentaries to binge on, but perhaps none have been quite as horrifying as Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. With the list of eye-popping details revealed in the doc, including headline-making transformations to near-death experiences, and a massive friendship fall out, it's little wonder it's the series that everyone is talking about right now. However, while the documentary looks at what happened to some of the show's most memorable contestants, it also features former host Alison Sweeney, the soap star who hosted the series between 2007 and 2015. Sweeney, who serves as a talking head in Fit for TV, explained there were some things she was uncertain about in the show. 'It was my job to be there for the contestants and encourage them to talk about some of the harder things that are embarrassing and hard to talk about,' she said, adding she found The Biggest Loser's temptation challenges, where contestants faced off to see who could eat the most calories in five minutes, the aspect she was most uncomfortable with: 'It was horrible.' Sweeney departed the show in 2015, with a surprising career pivot – meaning life looks very different for her today. Cosmopolitan UK did a deep dive to see what she's up to now. Taking over the role from Caroline Rhea in 2007, Sweeney decided to bid farewell to the series in 2015. Speaking to People magazine at the time, Sweeney said: 'Times change and situations change. It's a tough time in TV and producers have a lot of tough choices to make in the landscape. We talked and it wasn't an easy decision. It was just the right time for me to do something different.' Sweeney, who made a name for herself as an actor in the well-known daytime series, Days of Our Lives, decided to return to acting as she left The Biggest Loser. In 2015, she starred in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film series Murder, She Baked as baker-come-amateur detective Hannah Swensen. Sweeney also stars as Alex McPherson in the Chronicle Mysteries series, another cosy crime drama which aired on the Hallmark channel. And in 2017, she reprised her role as Sami Brady in Days of Our Lives. While she has never publicly declared how much making she has made from her numerous Hallmark endeavours, we can make some educated guesses. According to the current Screen Actors Guild (SAG) pay scale for a low budget film (which Hallmark movies are considered), for a leading role, a Hallmark actor could make up to $2,453 (around £1,812) a week. Leading actors in the Hallmark universe can reportedly earn up to $65,000 (around £47,937) per film – with regulars able to command even higher salaries. In a rather sweet story, Sweeney married her childhood sweetheart Dave Sanov in 2000. The pair were initially friends growing up, but lost contact until Sweeney starred on Days of Our Lives. The pair were reunited in 1997 at a family party and began dating after Sweeney's 21st birthday party. 'We had such a great time, and we had so much fun getting to know each other again as grown-ups," she previously told People magazine. "And the rest is history." Sanov previously worked as a police officer at the California Highway Patrol, but decided to retire from work in 2022. 'It is a big deal to retire," she explained when she appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022. "There's a lot of surprises we've planned for [Dave]. He's so excited." While Sweeney, now 48, has never been overweight (she was a US size 12, which is a UK size 16), she decided she wanted to commit more time to fitness – and shed 30lbs in around a year. 'I started with cutting out the foods I knew weren't helping me,' she explained in an interview. "I wasn't dieting, but I made healthier food choices. I didn't restrict myself, but I didn't overdo it either. 'I really had to cut out all the junk I was eating, like sugary snacks,' she admitted. 'When I started to pay attention to what I was putting into my body, I realized how much I had been eating without thinking.' She also added some gentle exercise into her routine. 'I wasn't working out for hours every day,' Sweeney said. 'I started small—walking, then incorporating strength training, and over time, I began to feel stronger and more capable. It was about moving my body, not killing myself in a gym.' She does! Sweeney welcomed son Benjamin Edward in February 2005, and daughter Megan Hope in January 2009 with her husband Dave Sanov. Benjamin has joined his mum on screen by working on Hallmark film A Zest for Death: a Hannah Swensen Mystery in 2023. Kimberley Bond is a Multiplatform Writer for Harper's Bazaar, focusing on the arts, culture, careers and lifestyle. She previously worked as a Features Writer for Cosmopolitan UK, and has bylines at The Telegraph, The Independent and British Vogue among countless others.

Sydney Sweeney Wears Blue Jeans In New Instagram Post Amid Controversy
Sydney Sweeney is back with a denim-filled Instagram update, arriving just weeks after her controversial American Eagle ad divided the internet. The Euphoria star leaned into her signature style, showing fans she hasn't stepped away from blue jeans despite the online chatter. Sydney Sweeney spotted wearing blue jeans in new Instagram post On Friday, Sydney Sweeney dropped a carousel of photos captioned 'duval diaries.' Sweeney wore oversized blue jeans with a white lace-front crop top while enjoying a night out with friends. The post showed her kicking up a leg in a playful pose, singing karaoke with a friend, and dancing in the crowded venue. Another picture was her holding a tray of drinks as her friends beamed at the camera. Fans flooded the comments, some supporting her while others criticised with puns and more. After all, her return to Instagram is her first denim-clad post since the release of American Eagle's fall campaign, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The American Eagle campaign, launched last month, attempted to play on the pun 'great genes' versus 'great jeans.' In one ad, Sweeney crossed out 'Genes' on a billboard and replaced it with 'Jeans.' Another featured her saying, 'My jeans are blue,' as the camera zoomed in on her blue eyes. But the playful wordplay got massive backlash. Many online called the ads 'tone-deaf,' arguing that the slogan echoed outdated ideas of genetic superiority often tied to race, beauty, and eugenics. Critics pointed out that using a blonde, blue-eyed actress as the face of the campaign only reinforced the uncomfortable undertones. Others, however, defended the brand, praising the campaign for poking fun at 'woke' culture and keeping the focus on denim rather than politics. Despite the backlash, American Eagle saw a surprising spike in its stock, jumping as much as 17% in the days following the campaign's debut (via Northeastern Global News). Analysts attributed the rise to meme stock behavior, with online buzz from platforms like Reddit and Stocktwits fueling the surge rather than traditional retail performance. However, the company reportedly suffered losses following the backlash. Sweeney has yet to comment publicly on the controversy. Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on Mandatory.

Sydney Sweeney's new movie ‘Americana' bombs at box office
Sydney Sweeney's new movie took a tumble at the box office in the wake of backlash stemming from the actress's recent ad campaign with retailer American Eagle. 'Americana,' which Sweeney stars in alongside Paul Walter Hauser and Halsey, opened to an estimated $500,000 at the box office after debuting in 1,100 nationwide, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In comparison, current blockbusters 'Weapons,' 'Freakier Friday' and 'Nobody 2' recently reeled in an estimated $25 million, $14.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The 'Euphoria' star came under fire last month after her new ad campaign, 'Sydney Has Great Jeans,' a play on 'good genes,' debuted for the popular clothing retailer. Some criticized the jeans campaign, featuring the blond-haired, blue-eyed actress, as having racist undertones. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sweeney says in one video. 'My jeans are blue.' President Trump eventually waded into the discourse in defense of Sweeney. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump said in a Truth Social post. Did Sweeney's controversial ads play a role in the film's less-than-stellar opening? Deadline notes that while it may have had an impact, the film was never projected to be a major blockbuster hit and is still expected to be profitable for Lionsgate.
