Kelly Clarkson has announced that she is engaged to her boyfriend Brandon Blackstock.

The singer took to her Twitter page to announce the news today (December 15).

She posted: "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 :)"

In November, Clarkson confessed that she is in love with Blackstock. She previously joked that the relationship was "killing" her creativity.

"Our priorities kind of shift and you become happier, and all that stuff," she previously told The AP. "It's probably my best accomplishment because I think, for me, especially, I just didn't think it would happen.

"It's like one of those cheesy love songs that didn't exist, but it does, so that's cool."




So happy for her! Seems like such a genuinely nice girl with the talent to match. Congrats!

    Well, that possibly puts that rumour to bed. I'm surprised that the article didn't mention her having a new CD out now!

    I don't think that rumour was ever true at all.

    I agree; anyone can start a rumour and that one never seemed plausible.

    I know this is off topic but i've never understood why Kelly isn't up there on the same league as Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry etc. She's a fantastic singer and is extremely likeable with great songs and yet she always struggles to go platinum.

    Bit confused about what the rumour was? Are we talking about the age-old gay rumour?

    I've wondered this too. I much prefer her over Beyonce etc. I think marketing and PR can play a part too, Beyonce has the whole "power couple" image with Jay-Z, Rihanna is, well, Rihanna! And Katy Perry has a failed marriage and various high profile romances. JMO though.

    Kelly is a bit too nice and ordinary - not a bad thing but she lacks the untouchable glamour and mystique of Beyonce or Rihanna.


    That sounds mean which I don't mean, but it's about image. If you want to be A list you got to act it. Kelly prefers being nice.


    Congratulations to her.

    i kind of get what you mean. her voice is exceptional, but her image is not glamorous. she`s kind of like the girl next door image wise, but i like that about her. she`s grounded.

    Nice and ordinary can be a big appeal to me sometimes depending on the person and whether they are genuine. Kelly does seem like a lovely woman and she her voice is amazing. I love some of the more glam and provocative artists too but sometimes a return to simplicity is welcome and artists like Kelly provide that. :)

    Her voice is in a completely different league to Katy Perry and Rihanna.. first of all because she can sing well.

    Maybe some people don't think she's a proper singer cos she came to fame on American Idol??

    Let's be real, there is rumors about every celebrity out there, all of them are supposed to be gay. Especially if the celebs happen to have close friendships with people from the same sex.

    Congrats to Kelly, she seems to be a really nice, down to earth person, and talented too.

    Doubt it she seems to be pretty happy with her size and shape.

    Good to see that offensive post has gone.

    Right. Why would she want to be put in the league with them? Notice none of the three people she publicly asked to do a song with were either KP or Riri. All the people she mentioned have the chops to carry a song with her. Just imagine those two singing with Kelly. It'd be a nightmare for them.

    The name Brandon Blackstock reminds me of a character out of Chef some years ago!

    A bit off-topic I know, but my favorite two songs by Kelly Clarkson were "Miss Independent" and "Since U Been Gone"! :cool:
