Joni Mitchell celebrated her big 8-0 with a medley of celebrity pals on Tuesday evening.

The folk music icon was joined by A-listers such as Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Cyndi Lauper and Anjelica Huston for her big shindig earlier this week.

The bash commenced at the Smoke House restaurant in Burbank, Calif.

Some stars were spotted heading in to honor the Grammy Award winner.

Streep, 74, was photographed wearing what appeared to be her wedding ring, despite confirmation last month that she and her husband, Don Gummer, have been separated for six years.

The “Mamma Mia!” star has been close with Mitchell for years, with Streep even honoring Mitchell during Grammy weekend last year.

MusiCares gave Mitchell the Person of the Year award and Streep sent her a loving video message to applaud the accomplishment at the time.

Hawn was spotted going into the eatery with a pal and she donned a comfy all-black look for the occasion.

“I don’t know how you do what you do, I just know I need it like food,” Streep said in the tribute. “Ever since we were both young girls. We didn’t know each other, but you sang me into being. You sang my life.”

The “Blue” singer has mainly stayed under the radar in recent years. However, she performed her first headline show in over two decades earlier this year.

Huston was roaring with pride as she stepped into the restaurant wearing a cheetah-print cardigan.

She sang with her longtime friend Brandi Carlile — who also attended her birthday party — at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington.

Last year, Carlile, 42, announced the news on “The Daily Show,” and gushed: “I can’t believe it’s happening, but it’s happening. And she is going to crush it.”

“The Story” crooner and Mitchell previously joined each other on stage at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island in July 2022.

It was the Canadian singer’s first live performance since her 2015 brain aneurysm that temporarily left her unable to walk or talk.

Mitchell last performed live in 2013, and hasn’t put on a full-set show since November 2002.

Lauper was seen chatting with Mitchell after their dinner.

“I’ve never been nervous about being in front of an audience,” she told CBS News after her appearance. “But I wanted it to be good. And I wasn’t sure it could be. But I didn’t sound too bad tonight!” 

Among her hits that she sang included “Carey,” “Both Sides Now” and “Circle Game.” 

Huston cracked a smile as she got into a car following the party.

In 2015, Mitchell suffered a serious and harrowing health issue, when she was placed in intensive care after suffering an aneurysm.

After being left unable to use her body to move for a brief period of time, she retaught herself how to play the guitar by watching online videos.

The “Death Becomes Her” star was spotted chatting happily with friends as she left the Smoke House.

“I’m learning,” she told CBS News after her festival performance. “I’m looking at videos that are on the net, to see where to put my fingers.”

She went on: “It’s amazing… when you have an aneurysm, you don’t know how to get into a chair. You don’t know how to get out of bed. You have to learn all these things again. You’re going back to infancy, almost.”

The Oscar winner brought along her son Henry as her date to the bash.

Mitchell has earned eight Grammy Awards, which includes her prestigious lifetime achievement award in 2002. In 1997, she was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
