Beyonce has helped the boyfriend of one of her backup dancers "put a ring on it."
The singer interrupted her performance of her hit "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" in St. Louis on Saturday night to bring out choreographer John Silver, the boyfriend of dancer Ashley Everett. A fan video shows Silver taking the microphone from Beyonce and asking Everett to marry him. After Everett said yes, Beyonce offered her congratulations before finishing the song.
