Alicia Keys is having a jet-setting 44th birthday!

The 16-time Grammy winner celebrated another trip around the sun while her husband, Swizz Beatz, 46, paid tribute to his "Queen of New York" in a heartfelt Instagram post on Saturday, Jan. 25.

As he posted glimpses of a dance party on a private jet, the super producer wished his fans — and Keys, of course — a "happy AK day."

"Today all the planets align in your favor because you’re out of this world with greatness 🙌🏽," Swizz Beatz wrote of his wife of 14 years. "We love you so much 🤍🤍🤍🤍."

Alongside his touching caption, the producer shared a look at Keys and loved ones dancing along to Tupac Shakur's "I Get Around," Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M." and N.O.R.E.'s "Superthug" while in the air, as well snaps of him posing with Keys in the aircraft while surrounded by balloons.

Swizz also offered fans a look at some throwback beauty-pageant images of Keys in "Miss New York" gear. She later reposted a snap to her Instagram Stories, writing that she was in the "birthday zone," before sharing a personal birthday message of her own.

"Who sings happy birthday to themselves on their birthday?! 😆 With the legendary @chickcorea on piano! Wow! What a born day memory," Keys wrote, alongside a string of former birthday memories and a few former birthday cakes.

"Another year of growth and becoming. Another trip around the sun! 🌟 Feeling soooo blessed, grateful, and surrounded by love," she added. "Y’all already know I’m about celebrating life! Thank you universe for my planetary parade!!"

The "My Boo" singer added that her latest birthday is "feeling like manifestation on another level" before asking fans "which cake do you think was my fave?"
