It’s been a Christmas to remember for country cutie Kacey Musgraves! On Christmas Eve, Musgraves’ boyfriend, Ruston Kelly, proposed to the star and she said yes!

Musgraves took to Instagram to share the news and a photo of her stunning engagement ring. 

“I didn’t say yes … I said HELL YESSSS!!” the ‘Follow Your Arrow’ singer wrote. “Last night the best man I’ve ever met got down on one knee in my little pink childhood home..in the same room I played with my ponies and barbies and asked me the easiest question I’ve ever been asked. ❤ I finally know what everyone means when they say ‘you just know’.”

The Grammy Award-winning artist also shared a photo of herself and her new fiance along with a video and details of how Kelly popped the question. 

We had just been at my parent’s house randomly having a night of watching bittersweet old home tapes of all these beautiful family memories that were made in this little, old country house I grew up in that I now have. We came back to that house afterwards and he had somehow pulled off having my sister + brother in-law completely decorate my childhood bedroom in the most nostalgic and perfect Christmas decorations. I was bewildered and confused when I saw it all and turned around and the song ‘Two For The Road’ by Henry Mancini was playing (this song is so emotional and sweet..it’s one of my favorites..you have to go listen) and he was on his knee with a baby pink velvet ring box and the sparkliest thing I’ve ever seen! ?It was so special. Of all the places in the world I’ve gotten to see, nowhere could mean more than this happening in tiny Golden, Texas in the house that completely made me who I am.”

Congratulations Kacey and Ruston!
