won fans the world over

[Maybo]

She has won fans the world over since shooting to stardom in June, when a clip of her audition, in which she sang her namesake Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On, went viral.

I don't understand the sentence structure. "won fans the world over" means won fans from all over the world?

Yes, it does.

 

[Maybo]

Is it an idiom?

 

[Rover_KE]

It's a set phrase — specific to the world.

We don't say 'the country over' or 'Europe over'.
