Reese Witherspoon is singing to the tune of a new decade!

The Oscar-winning actress celebrated her 40th birthday on
Saturday night with a star-studded, Mardi Gras-themed soiree at J.T. Torregiani and Sylvain Bitton’s hot spot Warwick in Los Angeles, and commemorated the
milestone with a special rendition of “Sweet Home Alabama” alongside
Keith Urban.

Vanity Fair writer Derek Blasberg shared a snippet of the performance
on his Instagram page, in which Reese can be seen belting the Lynyrd Skynyrd
classic while Keit plays guitar.

Hudson, who documented the festivities on social media with an Instagram
collage and series of Snapchats.

“This beauty gave a little surprise for our bday,” she
captioned one clip, adding, “Happy birthday Reese, we love you!”

Reese seemed ready to kick things off in style, posting an
early peek at the evening with an adorable Instagram clip of herself riding to
the venue with her mother, Betty.

“Are you going to get crazy on the dance floor, Mom?” Reese asks in the vid.

“Crazy!” Betty replies.

Reese’s party may be over, but her birthday still has a couple of days to go — she officially rings in the big 4-0 on March 22.
