Kelly Clarkson has a lot to sing about these days – she got engaged over the weekend!  The lucky man is Brandon Blackstock, the son of her manager, Narvel Blackstock.  (Bonus bit of trivia:  Brandon’s stepmom is Reba McEntire.)   The pair have been together for about a year, but have known each other for quite some time.

The American Idol winner announced her happy news on Twitter, and also posted a photo of her engagement ring, saying:

Everyone has been asking about my engagement ring, so here it is It’s a yellow canary diamond with diamonds around it and Brandon designed it with Johnathon Arndt! They did an amazing job!

Yellow diamonds have become increasingly popular, as have colored diamonds in general.  Carrie Underwood‘s husband, Mike Fisher, proposed with a yellow diamond ring (also by Johnathon Arndt, as it happens); Charlie Sheen gave an 11 carat whopper to Brooke Mueller when they got engaged in 2007.

This will be Kelly’s first marriage and Brandon’s second.  He has two children from his first marriage.

Kelly’s newest album, a collection of greatest hits (simply titled “Greatest Hits – Chapter One“), was released last month.
