American Idol alumna Kelly Clarkson and her boyfriend of 1-year Brandon Blackstock (a.k.a. Reba McEntire’s stepson) are gettin’ hitched!

The 30-year-old singer made the announcement via her Twitter account yesterday saying,

    I’M ENGAGED!!!!!  I wanted y’all to know!! Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever.

Awww.  We could not be happier for the “Catch My Breath” singer, who totally stole our hearts during the very first season of Idol, back in 2002.

The singer also posted a pic of the giant rock she’s now sporting on her left ring finger, along with the caption:

    Everyone has been asking about my engagement ring, so here it is :) … It’s a yellow canary diamond with diamonds around.


During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last month, Clarkson revealed that while Blackstock hadn’t proposed just yet, she knew it was coming.

    … We are totally going to get married. We love each other. We are totally going to get married one day…

Well Kel, that day is finally here!  Congrats to the happy couple!
