Love was in the air at Kelly Clarkson's latest show.
The "Catch My Breath" singer helped a couple get engaged Friday night in the middle of her first full performance since her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, died in August.
A video from her Nov. 7 concert for her Las Vegas residency shows Clarkson urging one of the lovers to "speak louder!" as he asks his partner to marry him.
"Say yes, bitch!" she then yelled playfully.
After the other half of the couple said yes and Clarkson congratulated them, one of them replied, "You're invited to the wedding now!"
Following a few beats of lighthearted small talk, Clarkson told the couple, who were French but visiting from their home in London, not to concern themselves with the heartache of the music about to follow.
"Do me a favor and ignore this next song," she joked. "Just stay in this moment, hang out there, you know what I'm saying? Maybe go to the bathroom!"
She added, "I don't wanna poo on your parade."

That wasn't the only bold romantic gesture that Clarkson celebrated at Friday's show. The singer also helped a different couple renew their wedding vows after 10 years of marriage.
"You made it a decade? F--- yeah, look at that!" Clarkson exclaimed in another video.
Though she expressed slight hesitation about overseeing the brief ceremony since she wasn't technically able to officiate it, Clarkson quickly embraced the role with a jab at one of her fellow Voice coaches.
"If Blake Shelton can do this, any f---in' person can do this," she joked. "They'll let anyone do it."
The singer also rejected the couple's timeline of commitment. "Do you both promise to keep dancing through life together — this is amazing! — offbeat or not, for at least another 10 years?" she read from a piece of paper that the couple had handed her. "F--- that — 50, 60. Aim high."
Representatives for Clarkson, Live Nation, and Caesars Entertainment did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.
Clarkson's performance at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Paradise, Nev., kicked off a series of four Studio Sessions shows that were originally scheduled for mid-August.
After playing eight shows this past summer, Clarkson postponed her concerts scheduled for Aug. 8, 9, 15, and 16 shortly before Blackstock's death on Aug. 7.
"While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them," Clarkson wrote on Aug. 6. "I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows, and I so appreciate your grace, kindness, and understanding."
Blackstock, who worked as Clarkson's manager for several years and was married to the singer from 2013 to 2022, died from skin cancer, with seizures listed as "significant conditions contributing to death" on his death certificate.
"Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years," a representative for the family told Entertainment Weekly at the time of Blackstock's death. "He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time."
Shortly after Blackstock's death, Clarkson canceled a scheduled appearance at Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum's Band Together Texas event, a benefit concert that took place on Aug. 17 in support of victims of the Texas floods in July.
The singer also missed one episode of The Voice in August after her ex-husband's death, with fellow American Idol vet Jennifer Hudson stepping in as a temporary coach for season 29. Clarkson's return to the singing competition is expected to air in spring 2026.

The "Since U Been Gone" musician also postponed the first scheduled weekend of her Vegas residency in July due to strain on her vocal cords.
"I cried," Clarkson said of the decision when she finally took the stage for the first time on July 11. "I was so sick. It sucked."
Clarkson will continue her Studio Sessions residency with three more concerts, on Nov. 8, 14, and 15. She also has a set of Vegas shows scheduled for July and August 2026.
