On Sunday night, Darren was lucky enough to meet up with Katy on the red carpet at the American Music Awards.

“He’s amazing!” Katy told Access Hollywood of Darren recently while she was in NYC. “I love when any of my songs are remixed or interpreted differently. I just I love that, I really welcome a creative mind to anything.”

Darren plays Kurt's (Chris Colfer) love interest on the show and while nothing romantic has happened between the friends just yet, their budding relationship suggests the two may become more very soon.

“I don’t know. Chris and I are just as curious as everybody else,” Darren admitted about a romance between the two characters. “I think the most important thing right now is that Kurt has a support system, and it’s important for gay teens watching to recognize that. I think if it does evolve to a romantic relationship… at this point, it’s neither here nor there. We’re just showing this notion of camaraderie and that there is a place to confide in.

“And if it does evolve in that way, let’s hope that it’s organic and right for the story,” he added. “And I’m all about it, but I trust the writers. They know what to do.”
