A well-connected Fortnite insider has dropped a tantalizing hint: Sabrina Carpenter might be the next star to headline Fortnite Festival in the much-anticipated Season 8. As players dive into Chapter 6 Season 2 of the battle royale mode, excitement is already building for what’s to come with Fortnite OG Season 3 set to launch on March 25.
As we approach the conclusion of the current Fortnite Festival season on April 8, the community is buzzing with speculation. Last season, Hatsune Miku stole the show, bringing her vibrant vocaloid charm to the game with plenty of jam-packed additions—think customized tracks, unique emotes, eye-catching skins, and even instruments. Fortnite also recently updated how players can use these new instruments, allowing them to adorn their characters’ back blings and serve as harvesters in the battle arena.
In another exciting leak, the credible HYPEX took to Twitter to share whispers of Sabrina Carpenter being poised to join as the next Fortnite Festival artist for Season 8. The insider notes that the upcoming star is indeed female and buffeted by her existing ties with Epic Games. Eager fans are already daydreaming about what might be bundled in her Festival Pass if she becomes part of Fortnite’s Crew subscription.
Sabrina Carpenter has soared to fame with catchy hits like “Feather” and “Espresso,” which have not only captivated listeners but also inspired emotes within Fortnite. Interestingly, after initial complaints from the community that the Caffeinated emote sped the song up too much, Epic responded by releasing a corrected version in the Item Shop. If Carpenter is unveiled as the next Fortnite Festival headliner, players can likely look forward to a fresh wave of unique skins, emotes, and perhaps even more musical instruments. However, as is the custom, hold your breath until Epic Games officially confirms anything.
Some were taken aback by the leak, having assumed T-Pain might be next to cast a shadow over the island. This stems from an ongoing narrative where a character known as Big Dill sparked a lyrical rivalry with T-Pain, leaving fans itching for part two of the saga ever since the initial video drop at the start of Chapter 6 Season 2. With a new season of Fortnite Festival nearing and plenty more surprises promised, the community is buzzing with excitement to see what Epic Games has up their sleeve.
