Lindsay adds "It's Reba snd there's no other Reba. She's the queen."

The ACM's posted, "She's sweet, she's kind, she's funny... she's @Reba! Join us in wishing the happiest of birthdays to our incomparable #ACMawards host Reba McEntire!"

The CMA posted to Instagram, "Happy birthday to six-time #CMAawards winner and Country Music Hall of Fame member, @Reba McEntire! We love you!"
