Pop star and global fashion icon Sabrina Carpenter has officially landed in Fortnite, bringing a wave of musical energy, glam, and serious style to Fortnite Festival Season 8. Launching April 8, 2025, the crossover event has fans buzzing with excitement as Carpenter joins the game with an array of in-game cosmetics, exclusive jam tracks, and emotes that are already shaking up the Fortnite universe.

A Superstar Entry into Fortnite

Epic Games has once again blurred the lines between music and gaming with Sabrina Carpenter’s debut. As the headliner of Fortnite Festival Season 8, Carpenter’s digital presence includes two distinct outfits, two brand-new emotes, three jam tracks, and several sparkling accessories.

Players can access the main Sabrina Carpenter Outfit through the Season 8 Festival Pass Premium Track by purchasing it for 1,400 V-Bucks, or unlocking it via a Fortnite Crew membership. This outfit features a dazzling yellow babydoll dress directly inspired by her Emails I Can’t Send tour wardrobe, a collaborative design between Victoria’s Secret and her longtime stylist Jared Ellner. The look is completed with high-glam Maison Raksha jewelry.

An alternate bodysuit style becomes unlockable as players progress through the pass, adding another layer of Carpenter’s signature style to their Fortnite locker.

Shop-Exclusive Look and Iconic Accessories

In addition to the premium pass offerings, a second version of Sabrina’s avatar, the “Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter” Outfit, will be available in the Item Shop throughout Season 8. This version leans into high-stage fashion with edgier details, giving fans more variety in how they show off their love for the pop princess.

The gear lineup includes:

• The SC Electric Guitar and the SC Sparkly Guitar, both of which have unlockable styles
• A mic-themed backbling
• Custom contrails that leave a shimmer trail when you skydive
• Signature jam tracks including Nonsense, Feather, and the brand-new single Please Please Please

All items, including the Tour-Ready outfit and accessories, can be purchased starting April 9.

New Emotes That Capture the Sabrina Vibe

Two expressive emotes are launching alongside her arrival

• “Taste” – A cheeky and confident move inspired by Carpenter’s viral TikTok performances
• “Please Please Please” – A cinematic routine synced with her latest music video

These emotes are already trending in Fortnite communities, adding Sabrina’s charm and charisma to every dance battle and lobby moment.

Fan Reactions and Cultural Impact

The reaction to Sabrina’s Fortnite debut has been overwhelmingly positive. Screenshots and clips of the “Sabprincess” skin have flooded social media, with many fans admitting they downloaded Fortnite just to play as her.

The crossover is clearly resonating with both music fans and longtime Fortnite players. However, as with many celebrity crossovers, there has been light debate over whether the inclusion of pop artists aligns with Fortnite’s core identity. Despite the mixed commentary, the buzz is undeniable.

Sabrina herself jumped into the conversation with humor, joking that the avatar’s height was “shockingly accurate,” poking fun at her own petite frame.

The Drop Details

Sabrina Carpenter’s collection drops globally on April 9, 2025, one day after the official Season 8 launch. Server downtime for the update begins at 4 a.m. EDT, with Epic Games expecting a two-hour window before all content becomes live.

Whether you’re grinding the pass for the exclusive outfit, grabbing the tour-ready version from the shop, or vibing out with her jam tracks and emotes, there’s something for every Fortnite player in this update.

A Perfect Harmony of Music and Gaming

With this latest crossover, Fortnite continues to prove it’s more than just a battle royale. It’s a cultural platform where music, fashion, and fandom collide. Sabrina Carpenter’s arrival is not just a cosmetic addition. It’s a celebration of where gaming is headed, and fans are here for it.

So queue up your jam track, strike a pose with “Taste,” and get ready to hit the stage. The Fortnite Festival just got a whole lot sweeter.
