Beyoncé Turns 40! Tina Lawson, Jill Biden, Oprah, Taylor Swift, and More Celebrate Her Birthday(videos)

Beyoncé is feeling the love!

Tina Lawson, Jill Biden, Oprah, Taylor Swift, Missy Elliott, and many more posted birthday tributes to mark Queen Bey’s 40th birthday on Saturday.

Beyoncé’s mother posted an old interview in which the 28-time Grammy winner discussed all the things she hoped to accomplish.

“You are the most honest, intelligent and creative person I know! That Virgo mind is always 10 steps ahead. There is not a mean bone in your body and no bitterness in your heart!! (Sometimes that is mind boggling) somehow you have managed to look at the glass half full!! Even with all of your success you have managed to still be an amazing humble, caring human being! You are loved by so many,” shared Lawson.

“Mind, body, soul, got a queen body. You’re the baddest and a little savage. Hm. I wonder where you got that from?” she quipped. “You worked hard and sacrificed to get where you are, and it’s not easy, but you sure make it look like it is.”

A collage of several of the singer’s outfits from 1981 to now was also posted on the official website for Beyoncé.

Beyoncé’s father Mathew Knowles posted a video collage filled with photos of his eldest daughter. “Happy Birthday Beyoncé!” he captioned the post.

Oprah, Biden, Swift, Laverne Cox, Reese Witherspoon, J Balvin, Jennifer Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Chris Martin, Issa Rae, Allyson Felix, Maya Rudolph, Miss Piggy, Stevie Wonder, Kerry Washington, Wyclef Jean, Ed Sheeran, Calif. Rep. Maxine Waters, Billie Eilish, and more wished Beyoncé a happy birthday in a video put together by Harper’s Bazaar, below.

“You’ve given me and so many others permission to be free to embrace all that we are,” Cox said while wearing Ivy Park. “You’ve given us a blueprint for excellence: that when we think you can’t surpass yourself, you do. No pressure”

Washington, also in Ivy Park, added, “You are such a gift to this world. Thank you for being an inspiration to me, to my kids, to brown skin girls all over the world, to non-brown skin girls all over the world.”

“You are an incredible force of nature, of art, of light, of beauty in this world and I’m so happy to celebrate you today,” Witherspoon said.

Swift spoke about Beyoncé’s impact on the music industry — especially for women.

“The fact that you’ve paved the road for every female artist walking down the road now… then the fact that you do it with such kindness and such grace. I just, to say I admire you… there’s just not a word for it,” the folklore singer said.

Congresswoman Waters added, “Happy Birthday to a woman who supports other women. Happy birthday to a sister that dares to challenge the status quo. Happy Birthday, Beyoncé.”

Cox did another birthday tribute filled with photos of Beyoncé in campaign videos for the singer’s Ivy Park brand with Adidas.

“Happy 40th Birthday to the queen, Beyoncé. Fun fact Beyoncé hired me for my very first fashion campaign, @weareivypark 2017,” she recalled. “The display was in stores all over the world. The world got to see an openly trans black woman repping an iconic brand. The moment inspired so many people. I know because I got so many messages from all over the world telling me so. Thank you Queen. Have the best day and decade ever.”

“The 40s are everything you have been waiting for!” she exclaimed. “You already know, the most important things in life are being surrounded by family, being able to grow and give to your children a sense of kindness, caring and wellbeing in the world — and you’re already doing that, so continue.”
