Nothing gets passed Selena Gomez fans.

Following the joyous news of her engagement to musician beau Benny Blanco, some eagle-eyed followers clocked onto an uber-thoughtful detail included in his proposal that only die-hard 'Selenators' would appreciate.

The couple announced their plans to wed on social media last night (11 December), after a year-and-a-half of dating.

Benny, 36, revealed last month that the pair had actually been close friends for several years before taking their relationship to the next level, only having 'gone public' with their love in June last year.

And since then, they've hardly looked back.

Last night, 32-year-old Only Murders In The Building star Selena shared a series of snaps on Instagram, revealing that the music producer had popped the all-important question.

"Forever begins now..." she wrote in the caption, after which Benny penned in the comments: "Hey wait… that’s my wife."

One pic showed exactly how Benny had set the scene, with a picnic having been laid out in the park and a basket filled with Taco Bell takeaway goodies - an ode to Selena's favourite restaurant.

Another showed the happy couple embracing tightly in a gorgeous display of love, whilst the remaining to snaps saw Selena showing her the colossal rock that Benny had placed onto her finger.

It has now emerged, however, that the rapper's choice of ring wasn't just a happy - and extremely pricey - surprise for Mrs Blanco-to-be.

It turns out that Benny had thought carefully about the jewellery that best suited the special occasion.

Fans have since pointed out that Selena's engagement ring is actually a marquise diamond - an elongated elliptical-shaped stone with pointed ends - which also happens to be mentioned in her hit track 'Good For You', recorded with A$AP Rocky in 2015.

"I'm in my marquise diamond / I'm in my marquise diamond," she sings.

And as we say, the sweet move that Benny pulled hasn't gone unnoticed by some die-hard fans of the couple, who've heaped praise over his thoughtfulness.

"So is this how they’re getting engaged now? with song lyrics as inspiration? classy move but kinda extra," one penned on social media, as another gushed: "Selena's ring is a stunning sweet gesture."

"I never checked the lyrics to this song, in today years old knowing this was what it meant," a third admitted.

"The BEST CUT for a ring oh I know she’s a bad b***hhhhhh" another teased.

It isn't just Selena's fans that are over the moon with the news, however, with a horde of celebrities also offering up their congratulatory wishes to the happy couple.

Selena's BFF Taylor Swift: "Yes I will be the flower girl."

"Waiiiitttt hold on,” surmised rapper Cardi B, while Gwyneth Paltrow said: "SELENAAAAAAA.”

And Suki Waterhouse added: "Congratulations beauty!"
