But one especially memorable moment was when Kanye West arrived with wife Kim Kardashian and bestowed the former Olympian with high praise.

He went on to list the many reasons Jenner was breaking from the public view of her.
"You couldn't have been up against more," the 38-year-old explained. "Like, your daughter is a supermodel, you're a celebrity, you have every type of thing, and it was still like, 'f--k everybody, this is who I am.'"
Jenner appeared to be very touched by Kanye's words. Later in the show, she explained how much the rapper helped stepdaughter Kim deal with her transition process.
"Kanye and I have never really been very close, but I love his open-mindedness," Jenner said. "I love how he's helped Kim come to grips with what's going on."
The moment certainly caught the attention of viewers. Here's some of what was said about the scene:
It's huge that Kanye -- a cis straight black male rapper -- is speaking on #IAmCait. He's never done that on #KUWTK.
.@IAmCait is all things beautiful and moving. Thank you @Caitlyn_Jenner (and Kanye West) for an inspirational premiere episode #IAmCait

I never knew Kanye was so open minded and accepting, a lot of artists in the hip hop industry can take that example #IAmCait

Touching moment in the bag, Kim then hurried off to check out Jenner's new clothes - telling her which ones she thought were chic and which ones she felt should go. It's still E!, after all.
Aside from Kanye and Kim, daughter Kylie Jenner and Jenner's mother and two sisters appeared on the premiere episode, as well. Stepson Robert Kardashian also phoned Jenner to tell her how great she looked.
