Epic Games has announced that Sabrina Carpenter will officially headline the Fortnite Festival in Season 8, starting April 8, 2025. The announcement, which appeared in a teaser on the official Fortnite Festival page, confirmed numerous rumors and leaks, and it's just part of one of the game's most extensive updates in recent times.

Sabrina Carpenter to Take the Main Stage at Fortnite

The confirmation came in the form of a short teaser video on the platform X (formerly Twitter), showing a blue sky with the words "See you soon! xx" followed by a lipstick mark — clear nods to the aesthetic of Carpenter's album Short n’ Sweet. Her songs, including hits like Espresso, Feather, and Nonsense, have already been available in the game.

In the eighth season, Sabrina will replace the previous headliner, Hatsune Miku, on stage. Players can expect at least two exclusive skins: one unlockable through the Season 8 Music Pass (priced at 1400 V-Bucks), and another appearing in the item shop. Cosmetic items revealed in leaks include a guitar with a kiss mark and a red heart-shaped microphone with glitter, which is already visible in the game.

April's Content-Packed Fortnite Update

Sabrina's arrival is just part of a massive update featuring crossovers that have already stirred excitement among fans. Reliable Fortnite insiders, including @FNBRintel and @HYPEX, have reported collaborations with Adventure Time and the potential appearance of villains from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), such as Shredder and Bebop.

Adventure Time fans will get to see skins for iconic characters: Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline. This vibrant and whimsical world perfectly complements the Fortnite multiverse.

As for the TMNT villains, their appearance hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but rumors suggest a nostalgic and darker atmosphere in the upcoming update.

Fan Reactions to Upcoming Updates

The Fortnite community is literally buzzing with excitement — and a bit of panic. One user joked on X: "Epic employee named HYPEX, tell your boss to stop, I can't afford all this!"

Another commented in a discussion: "Adventure Time > Sabrina Carpenter", to which someone immediately replied: "We don't need anything else — just Sabrina Carpenter!"

Although Epic Games has yet to release the full list of updates, the scale of leaks and teasers suggests that April 8 will be another fantastic day in Fortnite's history and its collaborations.
