There’s buzz swirling around the Fortnite community, and if you’re a fan of music events in-game, you’ll want to tune in. According to a renowned Fortnite insider, we might see Sabrina Carpenter as the new musical talent headlining Fortnite Festival Season 8. While players are currently navigating through Chapter 6 Season 2, they’re also buzzing with speculation as Fortnite OG Season 3 is set to launch on March 25.
As Season 7 draws to a close on April 8, fans are eagerly theorizing about future musical line-ups and content. Last season, we were treated to the virtual wonders of Hatsune Miku, the celebrated vocaloid sensation from Japan. Her presence in the game was marked by the release of a variety of jam tracks, emotes, and eye-catching skins. What’s more, Fortnite has given its instruments a nifty update, allowing them to double as both back blings and harvesters in battle royale mode.
In connection with these exciting developments, recent buzz from the credible leaker HYPEX suggests that Sabrina Carpenter is the frontrunner to grace the next Fortnite Festival stage. The hint? A reliable source has hinted that the upcoming artist will be female. Coupled with Carpenter’s pre-existing ties to Epic Games, the rumors are gaining traction. Fans are not just curious about her potential in-game appearance as a skin, but also about what exclusive goodies might feature in her possible Festival Pass—available to those with a Fortnite Crew subscription.
Carpenter has captured a wide audience with her hit tracks “Feather” and “Espresso,” both of which have inspired emotes in Fortnite. In fact, the “Caffeinated” emote had a memorable introduction, being temporarily pulled from the Item Shop due to a speed-up mishap before making a triumphant return. If she takes the Fortnite Festival spotlight, expect a suite of new cosmetics, including unique skins, vibrant emotes, and more melodious instruments. As with all leaks, it’s wise to remain cautiously enthused until Epic Games delivers official word.
Plenty of players were caught off guard by these insights via Twitter, considering the anticipation for T-Pain’s entry. The speculation stemmed from the ongoing rap rivalry with Fortnite’s very own Big Dill that kicked off at the start of Chapter 6 Season 2. As this season brims with content potential, the community is chomping at the bit to see what electrifying surprises Epic Games has up their sleeve.
