Britney Spears' agent-turned-boyfriend Jason Trawick proposed to Britney last night, and the happy couple have plans to celebrate the news with their friends at a soiree in Vegas tonight.

She hinted at the engagement on Twitter this morning: "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo." Trawick confirmed it on Access Hollywood.

The couple have been dating for the last two years. Trawick proposed the new-old fashioned way by asking Spears' dad for her hand in marriage, according to TMZ. Of course, he had to since Spears is still under a conservatorship even if it's in name only.

Britney's hopping a plane to Vegas as we speak. Maybe the third time will be charm?
