She penned a heartwarming message, revealing the reason behind having an intimate birthday party.

"This year I wanted to film other singing to me to understand that, It's more than me. It's the people that surround me that make me... ME. I love my people that's for one thing. Intimate birthday celebrations hit different," wrote Tara Davis-Woodhall.

“Our lives changed a lot, but our four walls didn't, which is the coolest thing. Our lives changed, we're getting all these brand deals, we got new sponsorships, we are going and speaking at all these engagements, but in between our four walls, our team is the same. Our passion is the same, the love that we have for each other is the same, and our priorities are still the same. Like, yes, that (the Olympics) took us to the next level, but we are (still) two small-town kids."
