Russell Horning’s life changed forever when he was asked to appear with Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live during a performance of her song “Swish Swish.” Horning’s unique dance moves quickly led to the “flossing” craze sweeping the country, and his choice of attire quickly led to him being nicknamed “Backpack Kid.” He had been gradually building up a fan base by that point, as Rihanna had called attention to him before Katy Perry did, but everyone was talking about him after SNL. He’s continuing to live his best life and dance whenever he can, so let’s take a look at the untold truth of Russell Horning, the Backpack Kid.
