Sabrina Carpenter set to headline virtual Fortnite Festival
Fortnite players will be able to perform the 'Espresso' singer's music as part of the eighth season of the game's virtual festival, which has previously been headlined by stars including Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish and heavy metal band Metallica.
The collaboration, which was revealed earlier today by Fortnite, introduces a multitude of Carpenter-inspired rewards such as microphones and guitars as well as different outfits that pull heavy influence from her Short 'n' Sweet live show, including her famous yellow babydoll that she wore at the recent tour.
A secondary outfit is available on the Fortnite shop called 'tour-ready', which includes a skirt and her iconic go-go boots.
Carpenter had a landmark year in 2024, following the release of her sixth studio album Short 'n' Sweet, and her successful stint opening for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2023.
In 2025, she became the first woman to occupy the top spot on the UK's albums chart while simultaneously dominating the singles chart with 'Taste' at number one, 'Please Please Please' at number two, and 'Espresso' at number three – all from Short 'n' Sweet.
The game allows players to perform solo or in a band on the main stage, where they can play a rotation of 'jam tracks'. Some of Carpenter's biggest hits will be available as jam tracks from 8 April, including 'Please Please Please', 'Juno' and 'Taste'.
There are also a number of actions or dance-like moves, called emotes, available in the Fortnite shop inspired by Carpenter's choreography from her songs 'Taste' and 'Please Please Please'.
Fans have revelled in this announcement, with one person writing on X/Twitter: 'I'm obsessed with these Sabrina Carpenter skins for Fortnite.'
Another added: 'She's the best icon series so far,' said another with Carpenter joining previous festival headliners, including The Weekend and Snoop Dogg.

Speaking about the Fortnite collaboration with Rolling Stone, Carpenter said: 'I've always found it exciting for fans to be able to interact and engage with music through different art forms and to interact in a way that's genuinely fun.'
'So, for the fans that haven't been able to come to the tour, or to any new fans, this is such a special way to still be a part of the Short 'n' Sweet world.'

Jennifer Lopez, 55, follows in the footsteps of younger popstars like Sabrina Carpenter and Kesha by simulating sex positions during VERY racy shows - after Ben Affleck split
Jennifer Lopez appears to be following in the footsteps of a string of daring younger popstars with much racier performances during her Up All Night Live Tour which in currently in Europe. The singer, 55, has never been shy of a revealing stage outfit or sexy dance moves, but this weekend took things to another level as she simulated sex positions on stage at the Cook Music Fest in Tenerife. Clad in a skimpy silver bodysuit, Jennifer sung on all fours in front of one shirtless dancer, before another lifted her off her feet and she sat on his shoulder with her crotch in his face. Another eye-popping moments saw her straddling one dancer while placing her hands between the legs of another two. It comes hot on the heels of Sabrina, 26, recreating a different sex position each night during her Short n' Sweet tour this year - which garnered criticism from some due to her young fan base. It comes hot on the heels of Sabrina Carpenter, 26, recreating a different sex position each night during her Short n' Sweet tour this year (seen in Paris) Meanwhile Kesha, 38, took to her hands and knees and suggestively chomped on a banana which a male dancer held between his legs during her Mighty Hoopla performance in June this year. J-Lo has ramped up the sexy performances since her split from husband Ben Affleck last August. And her costumes seem to have gone up a notch in the sexy department too. She set pulses racing as she took to the stage on the latest stop of her raunchy Up All Night Live Tour in Budapest on Sunday. The songstress flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a skimpy sequinned bodysuit that left very little to the imagination. Jennifer's silver look boasted a plunging neckline and daringly high cut leg which showcased her flawless physique in all its glory. The hitmaker completed the sexy stage look with fishnets and thigh high sparkly boots which ensured all eyes were on her as she belted out her biggest hits. It came just 24 hours after she shocked with her X-rated performance that saw her simulate sex positions on stage in Tenerife. She once again left little to the imagination, this time in a thong bodysuit complete with racy cut outs. Jennifer sung on all fours in front of one shirtless dancer, before another lifted her off her feet and she sat on his shoulder with her crotch in his face. Another eye-popping moments saw her straddling one dancer while placing her hands between the legs of another two. The hunky men showcased their gym honed physiques in only trousers and white corsets. The sizzling show comes after she debuted her Ben Affleck revenge song, saying earlier this week: 'This is a song that is a new song that I want to sing for the first time tonight that came to me when I was up all night one night. Shall we sing this one for the people?'. The songstress was clad in a red latex catsuit and knee high boots as she seemingly mimicked oral sex for the audience (pictured in February) JLO —who first sang the song at a private fan event July 2—said she's 'better' now. 'The love I want, the love I need, it starts in me,' she sang. She then added, 'Now I found my way here I'm gonna stay there. Thank you for the scars you left on my heart, was showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark. I won't fall apart because of who we are, but your broken parts.' And she said the heartbreak made her 'wiser.' 'Because of you, I am stronger, wiser,' Lopez belted out. 'Better than I've ever been.' Then Jennifer made it very clear she would never reunite with Ben: 'I won't let you no longer, longer, ever say goodbye to me. It was perfect while you made me believe, really got only greater for me, and it made me stronger, stronger, bulletproof. Now watch me climb out of the wreckage of you.' She then thanked the unnamed ex for 'the pain that you caused.' While the trend for sexier shows pushing the boundaries has become more of the norm for popstar tours these days - it hasn't come without criticism. Sabrina during her Short n' Sweet tour recreated a different sex position each night during her huge hit Juno - as the lyrics read: 'Wanna try out some freaky positions... have you ever tried this one'. In March during her concert in Paris while performing Juno the Espresso hitmaker imitated a three-way sexual position, referred to as the Eiffel Tower, with two male dancers, in apparent homage to the Parisian monument. A number of fans took issue with the provocative act, with one writing on X, 'i'm sorry but there are little kids in the audience and this is taking it way too far.' 'Promoting sex positions to a primarily underage age audience? I stan her but this isn't ok…' another added. 'This is just… i don't care if this a woman being confident w her sexuality to you or her just having fun… this is just gross and not necessary.' 'Degenerate! Sign of the times, 'This has to be joke…': 'This gimmick is getting tired ngl.' However, others defended the star, with one writing, 'Her music is not for children and if you as a parent don't monitor what your kids are listening to that's your fault.' The artist also sparked outrage after her sexually charged BRITS performance in March. She was clad in red lingerie during the Brits, showcasing some X-rated moves as she paid homage to the UK. Ofcom received more than 800 complaints over the show, thanks to Sabrina's raunchy routine and Charlie XCX's see-through outfit. And last year, Sabrina left the internet in a bitter uproar after simulating oral sex with a microphone while performing at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Meanwhile in June Kesha sparked outrage following a 'vulgar' performance as she headlined the second night of pop festival Mighty Hoopla in London. While singing new track Boy Crazy the American singer took to her hands and knees and suggestively chomped on a banana which a male dancer held between his legs. The songstress was clad in a red latex catsuit and knee high boots as she seemingly mimicked oral sex for the audience. A clip of the X-rated display was shared to Instagram with fans rushing to the comments and branded Kesha 'desperate for attention'. They fumed: 'That's vulgar': 'Ohh she's desperate for attention': 'This is so cringe': 'This is what happens when you become irrelevant': 'Music is support to be art not porn!! What the heck!!'. J-Lo's more raunchy performances come after her split from Ben last year. In May Jennifer told El Pais that the split was a 'difficult time' but she would be stronger for it. 'I'm proud of myself for that and I'm proud that I was able to navigate my children through difficult times, that they're stronger and better because of it.' Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their romance. But in August 2024, she filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary. A statement obtained by at the time read: 'Representatives for Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour THIS IS is canceled. 'Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,' it was added. Lopez herself also said she was 'heartsick and devastated' over the cancellation but added it was 'absolutely necessary.'
