It looks like Reba McEntire is a fan of Ted Lasso!

The country music icon took to Twitter early Monday morning (Sept. 20) to congratulate the comedy series on its four Emmys wins.

“Congratulations to everyone on Team @TedLasso on your #Emmy wins,” she wrote.

In true Reba form, she made a joke, referencing the fact that in the show, Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), leaves tickets for Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) at will call under the names of famous country singers.

Throughout the show, tickets were left under the pseudonyms Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. And, *spoiler alert* tickets were finally picked up by Kent when they were left under the alias Reba McEntire.

“I tried to get in to the show, but someone forgot to leave my ticket at will call… #RoyKent,” she joked.
