Sharing a super smiley pic to her Instagram page, the singer wrote, 'Well I’m 27 now. I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your words on my bday. Not just the quick notes. The thought that goes behind every word you write usually ends up with me crying grateful tears like I did last night. Praying for all of you!! I LOVE YOU' sic.

Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one saying, 'Happy birthday, queen! I love you so much! Thanks for your existing!❤️' sic and another writing, 'Happy birthday love😍' sic.

The 'Back To You' singer is no stranger to a break from social media, as she took to Instagram back in September 2018 to announce she would be taking a 'step back', writing, 'As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings.' sic
