Sabrina Carpenter’s Fortnite emotes spark laughs, users say, "She’s making it a dance event"

Hold on, pop stans and grimy builders, Sabrina Carpenter has officially arrived in Fortnite, and it's as sweet as a sugar high in Tilted Towers. Following weeks of mysterious teases and wild fan theories, the 'Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite' emotes are finally out, drawn from her Short n' Sweet world tour and packed with so much glitter and bops that they can turn the Battle Bus into a concert venue.

The update dropped on April 8, blessing Fortnite Festival Season 8 with 'Juno' and 'Nonsense' Jam Tracks in the Music Pass, while certified earworms like Please Please Please and Taste are lighting up the item shop. Yes, Sabrina Carpenter is now playable in Fortnite. No, we're not emotionally stable enough for this crossover.

This crossover didn't simply plunk Sabrina Carpenter into the world of Fortnite, it deposited her entire glitter-coated style with her. Now, players can dress themselves up in Carpenter-coded equipment such as sparkly guitars, glam microphones, and some seriously chic back bling straight from her Short n' Sweet tour wardrobe.

And if you thought that was sweet enough, think again. There is not one but two stage-ready outfits that yell "pop star in a boss fight." And new emotes to her tracks 'Please Please Please' and 'Taste' enable you to break out those onstage dance moves in the middle of a match because who says you can't kill enemies and provide choreography simultaneously?

As soon as the news came out, someone (@David10x3) took to his X account and commented:

"She is making it a dance event"

X fans aren't being shy, with some joking that Sabrina Carpenter didn't merely join Fortnite; she made it her own dance floor. And they're not wrong. With stage-inspired attire, pop-perfect emotes, and her songs playing mid-match, the Fortnite Festival now resembles a high-glam concert where eliminations have backup dancers.

This isn't merely a 'Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite' collab; it's a pop diva power play in the midst of a virtual battlefield. Regarding this Fortnite collaboration with Rolling Stone, Sabrina 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 ‘Short n’ Sweet’ world."

She also mentioned,

"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."

The moment Sabrina Carpenter entered Fortnite, the fandom did what it always does: it totally lost its collective mind. In seconds flat, social media was transformed into a full-fledged Carpenter concert slash Fortnite fever dream.

From crying jags over her emotes to people announcing war in glittering heels, the responses have been nothing less than legendary. So before you load up your next match, here's what the internet is making of this candy-coated, battle-ready pop invasion…

Of course, the internet trolled as only it can, and some fans made the moment into a comedy sketch, dropping jokes quicker than a loot llama in combat. Whether they play Fortnite or not, humans arrived solely to meme, troll, and create chaos in the comments:

"Make her do the Eiffel tower," a user @shadowcatverse hilariously commented.

Other people didn't care about Sabrina or Fortnite either; these people just observed a trending phenomenon and jumped in just for the hilarious mess. No clue, no context, just vibes, bird puns, and dance jokes going in a hundred miles an hour like a Boogie Bomb:

"Wait it’s so cute but I feel she does not dance like that," a fan @ChicChronically hilariously pointed out.

"She’s turning the game into a full-on dance party," another user @playlistvault hilariously commented.

"this is so cute lol," a netizen @yanayanayanaa commented.

And, of course, the peanut gallery weighed in with their own unique blend of snark and absolutely delightfully quirky humor. From snappy one-liners to dance jokes that are worthy of their own emote, they provided just the right dash of mayhem to mark Sabrina Carpenter's Fortnite launch in proper internet style:

"Why she dance like a sim," a user @NovaNeonLive hilariously commented.

"I want to see Gojo do these," another netizen @W0LFHALEIGH hilariously mentioned.

"This is so goofy hahahahaha," another netizen @PinkPonyCunty sarcastically commented.

Sabrina Carpenter in Fortnite: How long, how much, and how fast can you panic-buy in glitter?

Sabrina Carpenter has officially entered the game from April 8 onwards, and she's not just bringing the glitter, glam, and outfit changes. There are a few ways to get her skin (no, not in an icky way), and it really just depends on how you want to flex.

For 1,400 V-Bucks (around $12.50), you can pick up the Music Pass, which immediately unlocks her legendary yellow baby doll dress from the Short n' Sweet tour. Finish the pass, and voilà, you also receive a second look: a coordinating decorated bodysuit that shouts "I drop albums and eliminations."

Not feeling the pass? Okay. Visit the Item Shop, where you can grab an independent tour-inspired outfit, this time in a halter top and skirt set, in soft pink or baby blue, for 1,500 V-Bucks. But don't wait, Sabrina's pop star reign in Fortnite only lasts until June 1, when Fortnite Festival Season 8 concludes.

Then she's gone from the Item Shop and likely back on stage, leaving you stuck in the lobby wondering why you didn't dress like a top-chart icon when you could've.

All you need to know about the Fortnite music festival

Fortnite Festival is pretty much what happens when your favorite rhythm game shows up uninvited to a party on the Battle Bus and then refuses to leave.

It's a music mode where you and up to three friends get to jam out, choose your instruments, turn up the heat, and attempt to out-perform one another while imagining that you're embarking on a world tour.

With three stages to choose from—Main, Jam, and Battle—you'll be shredding chords and dodging missed notes faster than a sweaty build fight.

Every season crowns a musical headliner, and they don't hold back. We've had everything from Metallica melting faces to Snoop Dogg dropping beats, and now it's Sabrina Carpenter's turn to rule the stage with glitter and good vibes. The song lineup is filled with legends such as Lady Gaga and Karol G, along with fresh hits from Harmonix and Epic's sound crew.

Free songs rotate daily, but to lock up your favorites, each song costs 500 V-Bucks (about $4.50), which is less than a stadium seat and has fewer wailing children. Songs even drop during live performances, like those surprise Billie Eilish singles that dropped on the day her album was released.

Short story: This is the only music festival where you won't require a wristband, sunscreen, or the resolve to stand for 8 hours.

In short, Sabrina Carpenter's Fortnite arrival is all we didn't know we needed: ideal pop, pixels, and flawlessly choreographed pandemonium. Whether you're here to slay the baby doll dress, bring those emotes to life, or just dramatically play a virtual guitar while avoiding flying tomatoes, one thing is certain: Fortnite just became a heck of a lot sweeter (and sassier).

So, pick up your V-Bucks, get ready to bust out the dance, and prepare to bring the pop princess vibes to the unlikeliest of battlefields of all. Catch you on the Jam Stage, legends.
