The popstar princess Sabrina Carpenter has joined the Fortnite universe! Players who are huge fans of hers have gone crazy over this unexpected collab. Fortnite has collaborated with other stars before, such as Eminem, Billie Eilish, and Ice Spice, so Sabrina fans were anticipating this collab. The Sabrina Carpenter skin has increased Fortnite buzz! The Fortnite battlefield is now even being described as a “concert venue” because of all the players coming together with their Sabrina Carpenter skin.

“I am definitely playing more,” says Jackie Carollo (9th) when asked if the Sabrina Carpenter skin made her want to play Fortnite more often. Carollo added, “ I was super excited when I saw this collaboration while playing Fortnite with my cousin and friends. I saw that they had the pink Sabrina Carpenter skin and instantly knew I wanted it!”

Most players are enjoying this new skin and having a great time playing, however, others feel otherwise. A few Fortnite fans who were not too thrilled about this “Sabrina Carpenter takeover” even claimed that she ruined the game. Sabrina's popularity has caused her to dominate the game.

The players who are against the collab are agitated by how this skin is taking away from the actual point of Fortnite.
