Pop icon Sabrina Carpenter is reportedly the next major celebrity to join Fortnite’s ever-expanding universe, and fans couldn’t be more excited. While Epic Games is yet to make an official announcement, leaks, in-game clues, and datamined assets strongly suggest that Carpenter is coming to Fortnite Festival this April with not one, but two exclusive skins.
Sabrina Carpenter to feature in Fortnite Festival
The collaboration is expected to kick off on April 8, 2025, coinciding with the start of a new Fortnite Festival season. The music-focused mode, which has previously featured artists like The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga, allows players to jam along to songs using rhythm mechanics similar to the Rock Band franchise. With Fortnite’s acquisition of Harmonix, this interactive music platform has become a key part of the game’s live service experience.
Sabrina Carpenter, known for chart-topping hits like “Feather,” “Nonsense,” and her viral track “Espresso,” seems like a natural fit. Notably, both Feather and Espresso have already appeared as unlockable Jam Tracks in previous Festival updates - a strong sign that more content was in the pipeline.
Sabrina Carpenter to receive two stylish skins
According to reliable Fortnite leaker @fortbrleakks on X (formerly Twitter), Sabrina Carpenter will have two skins in Fortnite:
One skin will be part of the Festival Pass, which players can unlock by progressing through the Festival’s free and premium tiers.
Another skin will be available in the Item Shop, likely as part of a standalone cosmetic bundle.
If past Festival headliners are anything to go by, these skins will be highly stylized and based on Carpenter’s music and fashion. Players are already speculating that one version might feature her sparkly Espresso era look, while the other could draw inspiration from her red carpet appearances or even her “Short n’ Sweet” album aesthetic.
In-game files discovered by dataminers show assets resembling Carpenter’s signature silver microphone with a red glitter heart, as well as a guitar featuring a lipstick kiss - directly referencing her branding. A “kiss spray” cosmetic was also found, aligning with the visuals from her 2024 album rollout.
While there is no official confirmation yet from Epic Games, all signs point to a big reveal soon.
With two unique skins, themed cosmetics, and likely several of her songs becoming playable Jam Tracks, Sabrina Carpenter’s arrival in Fortnite could become one of the game’s standout musical crossovers. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to her music, this Festival season promises to be sweet and just a little bit sour, in the best way possible.
