The two-time Grammy-winning artist will headline the Festival mode, which lets players perform together in a Rock Band-like experience. This collaboration marks Carpenter’s first foray into the Fortnite world and is set to begin on April 8.
Players can unlock a wealth of Carpenter-inspired content by purchasing the Season Eight Music Pass. This includes playable Jam Tracks such as “Juno” and “Nonsense,” allowing users to perform alongside others. The collaboration also introduces two skins based on Carpenter’s recent Short n’ Sweet tour outfits, including a Lego-inspired version for the game’s Lego Fortnite mode. Players who purchase the Music Pass will gain access to these outfits immediately, with further customization options unlocked as they progress through the battle pass.

Carpenter, who had never played Fortnite before this collaboration, expressed her excitement about connecting with fans in a unique way. “It’s exciting for fans to engage with my music through different art forms,” she shared in a statement to Rolling Stone. “This is a special way for fans to be a part of the Short n’ Sweet world.”
Additionally, Fortnite offers a secondary “Tour-Ready” outfit in the shop, along with dance emotes, back bling, and mics. These items can be purchased separately or bundled with previous Jam Tracks. V-Bucks, the in-game currency, will be required for purchases.
