"U can't ruin trash"— Netizens react to viral tweet opining Sabrina Carpenter has ruined Fortnite with her latest collaboration

Singer Sabrina Carpenter has made her way to Fortnite.

According to The Mirror US, players can adopt Carpenter’s character while using weapons like shotguns against characters like Batman and Lara Croft. Additionally, some of her songs like Juno, Taste, and Please Please Please will be there.

On April 9, 2025, the X account “DramaAlert” shared a video from the game in which many of Carpenter’s characters performed Please Please Please. The post was captioned, “Sabrina Carpenter has RUINED Fortnite.”

Social media users had mixed reactions to it, and one X user commented:

“U cant ruin trash.”

While some X users agreed that Sabrina Carpenter’s character ruined the game, others noted otherwise.

“I don't want to be a gamer anymore,” a social media user claimed.

“And that’s why kids are starting to stop playing fortnite, it’s becoming a joke,” a netizen reacted.

““Ruined”? No babe, she improved the game. This is peak Fortnite,” an online commentator opined.

According to netizens, this was the beginning of Fortnite drama, while others seemed excited about the collab.

“More like SAVED Fortnite, my ps5 was started to collect dust until this collab dropped,” an internet user wrote.

“She made fortnite alive again,” a netizen reacted.

“Haha, sounds like Fortnite drama! I bet it's still fun though,” another X user noted.

“Ruined? I think this is pretty dope,” an online user claimed.

A new feature introduced with her character was the addition of “dance emotes." For the first time, if Sabrina Carpenter’s character danced an emote, another player who didn’t own that emote could walk up to her and join in. This interactive mechanic was a fresh experiment for the game.
