Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is coming to Fortnite as the featured artist for Festival Season 8, launching April 8, 2025. This marks another major crossover moment as Fortnite continues evolving into a cultural hub for music, fashion, and gaming.
Teasers & Confirmations
Epic Games has been teasing the collaboration through cryptic posts and in-game hints. On April 4, the Fortnite Festival X account shared a sunny blue sky image stamped with a lipstick kiss mark — a nod to the aesthetic of Carpenter’s Short n' Sweet era — along with the caption “See you soon!” Fans immediately connected the dots, fueling anticipation for her debut.
Skins, Cosmetics & Festival Pass
Based on leaks and past Fortnite Festival patterns, Carpenter will arrive with two exclusive skins:
One unlockable through the Festival Pass (1,400 V-Bucks, or free with a Fortnite Crew subscription)
One available in the Item Shop (expected price: 1,500–2,000 V-Bucks)
Dataminers have also uncovered themed cosmetics tied to her release, including:
A bedazzled microphone (likely a pickaxe)
A lipstick-marked guitar
A kiss spray decal
Observant players have already spotted these items at the Canyon Crossing location on the game map, serving as a preview of what's to come.
Music Integration: Sabrina’s Tracks Go Playable
Carpenter’s music will take center stage this season. Tracks like “Espresso” and “Feather” are already available as Jam Tracks, complete with unique dance moves. More of her hits — including “Please Please Please” and “Taste” — are rumored to be added when Season 8 officially goes live.
This integration continues Fortnite Festival’s evolution as a musical platform, following past collaborations with stars like Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish.
Style Meets Gameplay
While Epic hasn’t revealed the final designs of Carpenter’s skins, fans can expect looks inspired by her “Short n’ Sweet” and “Espresso” eras — think glam, sparkle, and her signature fashion-forward aesthetic. Given Fortnite’s history of high-fidelity artist skins, this drop is likely to be as visually iconic as it is playable.
The Next Festival Era
Carpenter’s arrival comes as Season 7 — headlined by Hatsune Miku — winds down. With her joining as the new face of Festival Season 8, Fortnite is shifting gears musically and visually, embracing a more playful, pop-forward energy.
With the official launch just days away, fans of both Fortnite and Sabrina Carpenter are in for a stylish, music-filled new season. Expect full reveals, cinematic trailers, and gameplay showcases to drop any moment.
