Kylie Jenner’s Getting Dragged For Throwing Her Kids An Astroworld-Themed Party (Again) Despite The Festival’s 2021 Crowd Surge Tragedy
It’s hard to forget the sad and catastrophic events of Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival back in November 2021, when a crowd surge resulted in hundreds of injuries and 10 deaths, several of which were children. Unless you’re Kylie Jenner and Travis, and you have a birthday party to throw, of course! Because they just threw their kids, Stormi and Wolf Aire, a joint “Stormi/Aireworld” birthday party. Page Six says Kylie posted shots of the insensitive mess on her Instagram stories, and many have spoken out to give her the business for such a callous, ill-informed choice.
Kylie has used this “creepy inflatable child’s head tunnel” party theme a couple of times before. However, that was before the carelessness of her ex/baby daddy’s conduct caused people to lose their lives. She skipped it in 2022 but must’ve decided enough time had passed for people to forget about the victims. Stormi turned five, and Aire turned one. And apparently, she couldn’t be bothered to come up with something original, and the one single “no” person in her life who probably talked her out of it last year was too busy vacuuming up the pube trail that dress in the header pic left behind to talk her out of the theme this year.
Kylie Jenner threw Stormi and Aire a joint birthday party — and some critics are now accusing her of “mocking” the Astroworld tragedy with her decorations.
In photos from the bash that were shared Wednesday via Instagram Stories, the reality star showed multiple inflatable heads that were seemingly modeled after Travis Scott’s “Astroworld” album cover.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, 25, used a similar blow-up tunnel for her 5-year-old daughter’s previous parties.
However, Jenner skipped the decor for Stormi’s February 2022 celebration, four months after 10 victims died at Scott’s concert.
Kylie posted birthday tributes for both of her accessories’ kids:
And then came the controversial party pics in her Story:

Much of the internet wasn’t here for it, calling it scary, tasteless, disrespectful, and a mockery. And they weren’t even talking about her plastic and silicone build-a-body this time.
Social media users took to Twitter to criticize the reality star’s decision to recycle the old head this year.
“Wtf?” one person asked. “Where’s the respect?”

In a Reddit thread, fans continued to question the makeup mogul’s decision to not “destroy any allusion” to Astroworld.
“Isn’t this tasteless after the Astroworld tragedy … where children died,” one argued.
Another called the decorations “callous and tone deaf and oblivious,” adding, “This makes me cancel-level mad.”
What kid doesn’t want a birthday party themed after their dad’s five-year-old album and the accompanying festival that eventually led to double-digit deaths? Disney character themes are for poors! It’s too bad Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s too consumed with constantly getting her orifices filled by Travis Barker to have lethargically proclaimed “Kylie, there were people that LITERALLY died!” Neither Kylie nor Travis has responded to the backlash, but I can already hear the excuse Kris Jenner’s drafting up from her office in Hell at this very moment: “Kylie clearly cares deeply about our environment and decided to reduce, reuse, and recycle by resurrecting this unique theme!”
