idolizer

One who venerates

An idolizer is someone who idolizes—who regards another person or thing with excessive admiration or devotion.

The word implies worship beyond what the object deserves: She was an idolizer of celebrity culture.

Often carries a faintly critical edge, suggesting the admiration is uncritical or obsessive.
