'Fortnite' Festival Sabrina Carpenter: 'Espresso' Singer Goes Digital With Skins, Tracks, Tour Vibes

Our "Fortnite" days with Godzilla are finally over, but the collaborations are never-ending. This month, major pop-culture crossover Sabrina Carpenter is officially headlining Fortnite Festival Season 8, launching April 8.

After weeks of speculation and cryptic teasers from Epic Games, the collaboration has finally been confirmed, and it's packed with exclusive content inspired by the two-time Grammy nominee.

'Fortnite' Festival Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter's debut in the "Fortnite" Festival, the music-based rhythm mode inside the larger "Fortnite" universe, puts her in good company. She follows in the footsteps of industry icons like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Metallica, who've all brought their style and sound to the game.

The Festival mode allows up to four players to perform Jam Tracks together online, offering an experience similar to "Rock Band" but with Fortnite's signature flair. Carpenter's addition marks the start of a new musical season, bringing pop energy and fresh content to players around the globe.

How to Unlock Sabrina Carpenter Skin and Songs in 'Fortnite'

With the Season 8 Music Pass, players gain access to new Carpenter-themed content, including:

  • Playable tracks like "Nonsense" and "Juno"
  • Two character skins, both inspired by looks from her Short n' Sweet tour
  • Lego Fortnite variant, complete with the iconic yellow babydoll outfit
  • Unlockable guitars, cosmetics, and emotes

Buying the Music Pass (priced at 1,400 V-Bucks or roughly $13) instantly unlocks the base Sabrina skin and kicks off your journey to earn more themed rewards as you level up through XP.

Shop Extras and Bundle Bonuses

Not everything is locked behind the Music Pass. In the "Fortnite" Item Shop, players can also find the "Tour-Ready" alternate skin, the animated emotes and choreographed dances, the back bling and stage-ready microphones, and the fan-favorite Jam Tracks like "Espresso" and "Feather," according to Forbes.

Players can opt for a bundle to grab all these cosmetics at once, perfect for superfans and collectors alike.

Sabrina Speaks on the 'Fortnite' Collab

In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, Carpenter expressed her excitement about reaching fans in new ways through gaming.

Though she admits she wasn't a "Fortnite" player before the deal, she appreciates how it gives fans who can't attend her tour a chance to still experience the "Short n' Sweet" universe.

"My avatar is for sure height appropriate—as Fortnite characters are all around six foot three, which is actually how tall I am in real life too," the 25-year-old singer joked about her height.
