Singer-songwriter Michelle Branch got quite the gift for her 34th birthday: an Art-Deco engagement ring from her boyfriend Patrick Carney – music producer and drummer for The Black Keys. Both award winners, the pair met at a Grammy party and began dating during the production of Michelle’s most recent album, Hopeless Romantic, which Patrick produced. According to her Instagram post, he popped the question right before she blew out the candles on her birthday cake – the sweethearts have been traveling together for Michelle’s tour.
