"Cheer" star Jerry Harris was a red carpet correspondent for "The Ellen Show" at the Oscars on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and he shared several wholesome interactions with celebrities like Billie Eilish and Brad Pitt. 

Harris, a cheerleader who was featured on Netflix's hit docuseries "Cheer," interviewed stars like Idina Menzel, Mindy Kaling, and Janelle Monae before speaking with Eilish. And according to video posted to the show's Instagram stories, their interaction was just as heartwarming as you'd expect. 

As he spoke to Eilish about her performance at the Oscars, Harris' championship ring — which he received after he and his fellow Navarro College cheerleaders won a cheer competition in Daytona, Florida, last year — caught the young singer's eye. 

"Look at this ring!" Eilish exclaimed while grabbing Harris' hand. 

"You want to try it on?" the cheerleader said in response. After politely demurring, the "Bad Guy" singer eventually gave in, and slipped the large ring on her thumb. 

"Well, I won Daytona this past year," Harris said in explanation of his championship ring, to which Eilish responded, "I know!" 

Eilish wasn't the only star that Harris had a joyful interaction with. While interviewing Pitt, who won an Oscar for his performance in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," Harris jokingly told him, "I think you're pretty, girl, from up close."
