After teasers hinted at her arrival, her official reveal confirms her role as the rhythm game mode’s latest featured artist, complete with a strikingly accurate character model.

Season 8 Music Pass Content and Cost
The Season 8 Music Pass offers players a collection of content centered around the new featured artist. The premium reward track, costing 1,400 V-Bucks, immediately grants players the Sabrina Carpenter skin (wearing a yellow babydoll dress) upon purchase. As players progress through this premium track, they can unlock Jam Tracks featuring her songs “Please Please Please“, “Taste“, “Nonsense“, and “Juno“. The final reward for completing the premium track is a bodysuit variation of the skin. The pass also includes a Lego version of the Sabrina Carpenter outfit.
Furthermore, her popular tracks “Espresso” and “Feather” will return to the Fortnite Item Shop for individual purchase during the season.
Additional Fortnite Shop Items
Beyond the Music Pass, more Sabrina Carpenter themed items will arrive in the Fortnite Shop. A “tour ready” outfit set, inspired by one Carpenter wore on her recent tour, will be sold. This outfit initially comes in pink but includes a baby blue alternative style. Other cosmetic items expected throughout the season include:
Emote Updates for Season 8
Season 8 also introduces a change to how emotes are categorized. Emotes featuring dancing that allow other players to join in, even if they don’t own the emote, are now specifically labeled as ‘**Dance Emotes**’. Complementing the season’s theme, two new emotes featuring choreography and music snippets from Sabrina Carpenter‘s songs “Please Please Please“ and “Taste“ have been added to the game.
While speculation might have pointed towards other artists like Chappell Roan (who publicly expressed interest in a **Fortnite skin**), the choice of Sabrina Carpenter highlights the unpredictable nature of Fortnite collaborations. This element of surprise continues to be a major draw for the game, keeping the player base engaged and guessing who might arrive on the Battle Bus next.
