Now, worshipping Celestia isn't exactly an uncommon thing in Equestria. She's their ruler, she raises and sets the sun every day, she's old and wise and one of those amazing fairy-tale rulers who keeps everything as close to perfect as possible, and she's apparently immortal. So the ponies in general tend to have a viewpoint of her that isn't entirely dissimilar to that of a Goddess.
Twilight wasn't all that much different from the others in this regard when she was growing up. When she went to Canterlot to see Celestia raise the sun, that was the first time she ever became exceptionally enamored with the Princess even by pony standards. Magic on that scale was something she'd never, ever seen before, and she quickly became obsessed with growing her own magical skill, which isn't too surprising as this is, after all, her special talent.
Then came her enrollment into the school for gifted unicorns, and her exam, where her powers went out of control and she hatched Spike, turned her parents into potted plants, levitated the instructors, and generally caused a great deal of unstoppable mayhem... until the Princess came in and calmly brought her out of it. The ruler of their land had just come up and brought her out of her magic-related breakdown, which was amazing (if embarrassing and guilt-inducing) enough, but this was immediately followed by Celestia offering to take Twilight on as her personal protege.
So, as of this point, Celestia was now her ruler, near-Goddess, mentor, and over the course of her studentship, she became almost like a second mother figure to her. Twilight's opinion of the Princess at this point had essentially become about as high as anyone's opinion of another is possible to be. And the events of the show only tend to reinforce this. In short, what is it Twilight's hero-worshippy over? Everything.
