Who is Natasha Bedingfield?

Natasha Anne Bedingfield is British artist. As a teenager, she started an electronic/ dance group with her siblings Daniel and Nikola called DNA Algorithm. At 14, she sang vocals on Origins Refined Intricacy (Steelyard Records).

Although she attended the University of Greenwich to study psychology, she soon left and began to focus on her music career. She began recording music for the Hillsong London Church. Her 2004 debut album, 'Unwritten', was an international hit, seeing that it sold 2.3 million copies globally.

She even earned a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the title track, 'Unwritten'. She went on to produce more hit music, including 'I Wanna Have Your Babies' and 'Soulmate', both on her second album, 'N.B.' Her third album, ' Pocketful of Sunshine' was just as popular, with singles 'Love Like This' and 'Pocketful of Sunshine' doing exceedingly well. She has sold over 10 million albums and 10 million singles worldwide, resulting in over 20 million records sold.

The artist happens to be quite active on social media. The video posted by her is a duet with a TikTok famous dance trio that goes by the name @gleefuljhits, who are seen using choreography put together by Tik Toker @rony_boyy. The dance group is known for their signature neon outfits and balaclava style masks. The original video racked up 3.2 million views.

Bedingfield, who decided to duet with the trio managed to draw in an astounding 3 million views just within 12 hours of posting the video. The reason behind it? The internet was absolutely shocked to see the singer twerking.

Twitter, as always, had a few things to say about the video and Bedingfield in general. "Natasha Bedingfield been hiding that pocket full of sunshine in her back pocket this entire time" tweeted a fan. "Natasha BEEN Bedingfield" added another. "I can’t believe most of the songs I remember hearing EVERYWHEREEE when I was a kid was made by Natasha Bedingfield!! Why did it take a gwagon dump truck ass for us to be talking about her more " asked another. "SO ms @natashabdnfield had a DUMP TRUCK all this timeeee???" tweeted another, to which the artist even cheekily replied. 

Fans were just glad the artist was getting the recognition she deserved, even if it was in the most unexpected way possible. 
"Natasha Bedingfield is trending because Twitter just realized she has an Iggy Azalea- type cake and now everyone is acting like unwritten is their favorite song ever love it, she’s so f**ing FINE" tweeted a fan. "It's so funny that Natasha Bedingfield has been trending all day because people are just discovering she has a huge a**, as if that's new info haha. But hey, if it brings more attention to her music that's all right with me." added a fan. 

Some users pointed out that it truly has been an odd day for Twitter in general. "Twitter is funny because one minute I’ll see ppl debating the proper decorum after a person whose done terrible things dies and the next I’ll see people debating Natasha Bedingfield‘s a**" tweeted a user. "On Facebook, I just wrote a complex and introspective introduction for sharing the Guardian piece on Prince Philip. On Twitter, I went down a rabbit hole to find out why Natasha Bedingfield is trending and felt the need to share this. I contain multitudes." added another. 

The artist, however, has been rather open-minded about the reception and has even been replying to fans. "natasha bedingfield responding to tiktok comments about her dumptruck a** is cracking me up" tweeted a fan with a photo of the same. 

The artist even took to Instagram to speak about the experience and credited the content creators who helped make her song go viral, with their own videos, dance moves and remixes. "The essence of Unwritten is about how wonderful, unexpected things can happen at any moment, and these tik tok dances I keep seeing recently couldn’t be more wonderful and unexpected! It’s a real joy to attempt to keep up (even if I make a fool of myself!)." she said.
