- Sabrina Carpenter is one of the music industry’s biggest stars
- But now fans could see her on a completely different platform – as she is reportedly being eyed up for a collaboration with Fortnite
- The game often works with stars to make them playable characters
Sabrina Carpenter seems to be plotting for world domination.
In under 12 months, the Short n’ Sweet singer has bagged six Grammy and two Brit award nominations, enjoyed a string of number one singles, and embarked on her sold out stadium tour.
But now the pint sized pop star, 25, could be seen on a totally different platform – as Fortnite is reportedly eyeing her up to feature on the game.
According to online rumors, Fortnite is planning a Carpenter collab in an upcoming Festival Season, which would include her music, emotes and a skin for the artist.
While this may seem a bit strange, Fortnite often works with artists for huge-scale concerts or smaller scale Festival seasons – which is what Carpenter’s collab is said to be.
Sabrina Carpenter could join these artists on Fortnite
While fans unfamiliar with the game may be surprised to see Carpenter included, there is already a huge list of musical stars who are playable characters.
Bruno Mars, Eminem, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga and The Weeknd all feature in Fortnite. Likewise, Marshmello, Major Lazer, Travis Scott, Astro Jack, J Balvin and Anderson .Paak are included.
Ice Spice, Juice WRLD, Hatsune Miku, Karol G and The Kid LAROI are other names featured; while even legends like Metallica and Mariah Carey are playable.
And if they’re not already in the game, stars are queuing up to be included.
In a recent interview, Chappell Roan commented about wanting to come to Fortnite.
Sabrina Carpenter hits back at industry critics
While Carpenter is one of the music biz’s most in-demand stars, she was forced to stand up for herself when some industry critics made nasty comments about her choice of lyrics and outfits.
Music mogul Pete Waterman, 78, branded Carpenter “offensive” – which caused Carpenter to hit back at his harsh words.
“My message has always been clear – if you can’t handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don’t come to my shows,” she told The Sun.
Adding that women being judged on their appearance “isn’t something new”, Carpenter went on, “Female artists have been shamed forever. In the Noughties it was Rihanna, in the Nineties it was Britney Spears, in the Eighties it was Madonna – and now it’s me.
“It’s essentially saying that female performers should not be able to embrace their sexuality in their lyrics, in the way we dress, in the way we perform.
“It is totally regressive. It’s like those who want to shame don’t make comments when I talk about self-care or body positivity or heartbreak, which are all normal things a 25-year-old goes through. They just want to talk about the sexual side of my performances.”
