Kelly Clarkson, who became the first contestant to win "American Idol" a  decade ago and went on to several chart-topping successes, has gotten engaged to  her boyfriend, the singer said in a Twitter message on Saturday.

Clarkson, 30, previously revealed she had been dating talent manager Brandon  Blackstock since early this year. Blackstock is the stepson of country singer  Reba McEntire.

"I'M ENGAGED!" Clarkson said on Twitter. "I wanted y'all to know!! Happiest  night of my life last night!"

She then followed that by posting a link to a photo of her canary yellow diamond  engagement ring on a website. She wrote that her boyfriend helped design it and  that she "can't wait to make Brandon's ring."
