Ayo Edebiri admitted she absolutely freaked out running into Reba McEntire on the Emmys red carpet Sunday.

An E! News clip shows The Bear star, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at this years ceremony, exclaiming, Oh my God while encountering the Queen of Country alongside her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman.

Im trying to be so normal. Oh my God, my legs are shaking, Edebiri told McEntire and Peterman as the group exchanged compliments.

Edebiri added that she spent so many hours of her life with the two.

Well, were spending hours with you now, replied Peterman before she and McEntire posed for a photo with Edebiri.

You can catch the sweet moment in the clip below.

Edebiri, in an E! News interview with Laverne Cox , said she was really, really proud of herself for not singing the entire Reba theme song Im a Survivor.

A single mom who works real hard, who loves her kids and never stops, said Edebiri as she turned to the camera. Hey, Im a survivor, OK.

McEntire and Peterman, who presented the Emmy for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series, are gearing up for the premiere of their upcoming NBC sitcom Happys Place next month.

McEntire told Entertainment Tonight that she was ready to do another sitcom with Peterman.

Matter of fact, weve all been looking for another thing to work together [on] ever since the Reba show was canceled. Thats how long weve been trying to find something to do together, McEntire said.

Peterman added that she believes the timing is right for the show.

You are so good at the humor and the heart, and Im excited, she told the country singer, it felt right.
