Jeffree Star had a tremendous return at Van’s Warped Tour and looked back at the whole thing as going into a ‘time capsule filled with sweat, eyeliner, and pure chaos.’ The artist was totally energized by the audience’s response and also shared a festival film that has brought back memories and new excitement among the long-term followers who have been with him since the beginning.

The video which is accompanied by a pulsating track shows Jeffree Star ruling the stage and enjoying himself along with the very large, very lively crowd. He shared it along with the words that he was ‘SHOOK,’ the energy was ‘insane,’ and he was very thankful to everyone who visited the Jeffree Star Cosmetics booth. For some of the attendees, his coming was a full circle moment, a rewind of the past that was very aptly placed in the present-day festival scene.
There were lots of comments and many shared their best experiences with him. One user described a situation when Star complimented her daughter’s hair at the makeup booth. ‘We were so stunned!’ she recounted. ‘We will never stop discussing it. She was so happy!’ A person who was in a wheelchair at the time of his meeting with Star simply said, ‘so glad I met you.’
Thankfulness was a major topic. ‘Love you forever!’ was the message of one user. ‘Your meeting was the highlight of my 2025. You have done so much for my mental health during the last 10+ years and I am really grateful and appreciative of you.’ Others were showing off their new items like the user who referred to their signed Warped Tour mirror as ‘literally my best buy ever.’
Nevertheless, the post received some criticism too. A couple of comments were extremely negative, one user accusing Star of being a ‘transphobe’ while another called him a ‘garbage person.’ These comments, although they are less in number, show that Star is still a conflicting personality for some even at his celebratory homecoming.
The post received diverse reactions worldwide. Users from different parts of Mexico tagging the official Mexican Warped Tour account and asking ‘Pleaseee come to México!!’ and ‘Omg Come to México pls.’ This clearly shows Star’s never-ending worldwide charisma and the need of his festivals everywhere.
For the earlier fans, the post was a great and nostalgic journey. One person said, ‘I have been with Jeffree since My Space’ the person said. ‘He was the original influencer.’ Another one was telling the tale of much older Warped Tour days and was making jokes about a teenage boy with a broken leg and painful painkillers. The event has surely attracted a mixed crowd of all ages.
