Danielle Herrington is so excited about her Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover!

Tyra also surprised Danielle with a special message on GMA: “Do you really understand what’s going down right now? Do you really understand how your life is going to change? So many little girls are looking at you, ‘OMG, that could be me one day,” she said.
