Trevor and his girlfriend, Sierra, appeared on GMA last week. Asked how his life has changed since he received the ticket to Hollywood, Holmes said, "Man, it's been so surreal. It's one of those things you always kind of dream about. And then it actually happens. I have to pinch myself."

Asked what it was like having Katy Perry lose her mind over her boyfriend, Sierra said, "I was fully supportive of it. We all have our celebrity crushes but it was really funny because when they asked me to run in I was just beelining for him because I was so excited for him and I had no idea that I even cut Katy off."
