Sabrina Carpenter will soon enter the digital realm. The “Espresso” singer is set to continue her massively successful Short n’ Sweet album campaign—which has included a No. 1 single with “Please, Please, Please” and two Grammy wins—by joining the Fortnite universe.
Carpenter is the icon for Fortnite Festival Season 8, which begins Tuesday. That means Fortnite players will be able to use Carpenter’s avatar to virtually perform her music as part of Festival, a game within Fortnite that allows players to bring popular tracks to life a la Rock Band. When fans unlock the season eight Music Pass, they’ll be able to perform “Juno” and “Nonsense” as jam tracks, while some of Carpenter’s biggest hits—including “Please Please Please,” “Taste,” “Espresso,” and “Feather”—will also be available on Fortnite Shop. Other songs available within the season eight Music Pass include “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette and “Dark Horse” by Katy Perry and Juicy J.
Not many artists are bigger than Carpenter right now, unless you’re talking height; the ascendant superstar, famously just barely 5 feet tall, did not name her album Short n’ Sweet for nothing. Within Fortnite, however, she’ll loom even larger than she does in the real world. “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,” she joked.
Carpenter’s avatar will be equipped with four different skins inspired by her Short n’ Sweet Tour looks, including a yellow babydoll dress and an unlockable sparkly yellow bodysuit. “Tour-Ready” outfits in pink and baby blue are also available for purchase. More Carpenter items can be unlocked in the game including her microphone and guitars and a lipstick-printed purse. Previous Fortnite Festival icons have included the Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Karol G.
