Cassadee Pope and boyfriend, Rian Dawson, Are Engaged

Another country cutie is off the market. Congratulations are going out to Cassadee Pope and her boyfriend, Rian Dawson, who have publicly announced their engagement.

Cassadee—who has been dating Rian for seven years— posted a cute photo, on her social media accounts, of the couple kissing along with the captions, “We’re ENGAGED!”  And “The love of my life is now OFFICIALLY the love of my life. Never been happier.”

 

Cassadee is the latest in a long line of country stars that have gotten engaged recently. Kelsea Ballerini, Kacey Musgraves, William Michael Morgan and Jennifer Wayne, Dan +Shay’s Dan Smyers, Mickey Guyton and Sam Hunt have all gotten engaged since November 2016.

In early January, Nash Country Daily asked our readers to vote who they thought the next country couple to get engaged would be. The winners were Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, with Cassadee and Rian in third place behind Lindsay Ell and Bobby Bones. Looks like Cassadee and Rian beat them all to the punch.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
