The 10th Anniversary Special of Keeping Up With the Kardashians was a spectacular treat for die-hard fans of the illustrious family. It was an emotional rollercoaster, eliciting laughter, tears, and nostalgic reflections. Viewers delved into the essence of the Kardashians and learned the correct pronunciation of “okurrr.” Amidst the insights into the lives of TV’s most sensational figures, an endearing moment unfolded when Kylie Jenner embraced one of her most devoted followers, revealing the authentic connection these larger-than-life celebrities share with their fans.
This lucky admirer, Johnny Cyrus, had the privilege of a mini-reunion with the star during the show. Positioned front and center in the audience, Johnny received a heartwarming hug from Jenner, who sweetly expressed, “I didn’t know you were gonna be here.” It was a fleeting moment, but it underscored the genuine bond these mega-celebrities foster with their admirers.
Johnny Cyrus’s fervent admiration for Kylie is nothing short of extraordinary. His dedication reached new heights when, in a gesture of unwavering loyalty to Kylie Cosmetics, he tattooed a swatch of her LipKit on his arm. His commitment to the brand was evident in headlines, stating, “I love the colors so much I needed them on my body,” as he shared with BuzzFeed in 2016.
That wasn’t the extent of his devotion. Johnny adorned his body with other Kylie-inspired tattoos, including the LipKit logo, the Kyshadow logo, phrases like “like literally so cute” (a fusion of her lip gloss names), and a Kimoji of Kylie. Hailing from Wisconsin, Johnny has become a celebrity in his own right due to his incredible displays of allegiance.
In a video interview for SuperDeluxe, Cyrus recounted the moment he showed Kylie his tattoo, which she promptly shared on Snapchat. The resulting social media attention catapulted him into sudden fame. “I went outside to try and leave and everybody started screaming my name wanting pictures,” he recalled, realizing his newfound popularity. Not just viewed as a fan, Johnny noted, “People look at me as like a fan, but they also look at me as like a friend.”
This unique bond has reaped rewards for Johnny, from receiving gifts to gaining access to exclusive events, and amassing over 27 thousand Twitter followers. His admiration for the makeup mogul and reality TV icon stems from her unwavering self-confidence, as he shared with StyleCaster last year.
When confronted with critics who question his fervor, Johnny succinctly pointed out the parallels between his Kylie-inspired tattoos and those depicting other pop culture phenomena. “I just question why people hate on me for getting these tattoos. It’s like no different than someone getting a Family Guy tattoo, Star Wars, or like anything in that matter. I don’t see the differences,” he explained to PopCrush.
As Kris Jenner reflected on the show’s impact during the 10th Anniversary Special, she mentioned the profound effect the series had on viewers. “People are always saying ‘because of you guys I got through something that was really hard for me,’ so that makes me happy,” she noted. Whether fans resonate due to personal struggles or simply admire the Kardashian/Jenners’ style and attitude, the family undeniably wields a significant cultural influence, evident through their devoted fans’ unwavering support.
