Lynn also featured a post from Bret Michaels on her page, sharing a video of the rocker addressing Lynn from a room in his home filled with framed records. "My sweet Loretta, it is Bret," he began. "I just wanna wish you the most incredible happy birthday on behalf of my family, my friends, my band, my crew, my stay-at-home staycation beard, I just want to tell you I love you and you're awesome and may you have the best, most incredible happy birthday. Love you Loretta." In her caption, Lynn shared that she had already gotten plenty of messages and thanked Michaels for his contribution. "Well the day is young but I'm already getting all kinds of sweet birthday calls, texts, and videos!" she wrote. "Thought I'd share a couple today, like this one from Bret Michaels. I just love him."
