Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite concert leak hints at star-studded virtual experience
Pop star
Sabrina Carpenter
could be the next big name to headline a
Fortnite in-game concert
, according to fresh leaks making the rounds online. While there is no official word from
Epic Games
yet, the community is already buzzing with reactions - both thrilled and skeptical.
Leaks points to Sabrina Carpenter's Concert in Fortnite
The information first surfaced through reliable Fortnite leakers @Loolo_WRLD and @BeastFNCreative, who claim the concert is currently in development via UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) by Magnopus, the same studio behind Fortnite's previous live events featuring Metallica and Karol G.
The concert, if true, will reportedly feature six songs from Carpenter's recent album 'Short 'n Sweet', including chart-toppers like Espresso and Please Please Please. It's expected to run for about 10 minutes and have its own dedicated playlist, just like earlier Fortnite concerts.
Magnopus, known for creating immersive virtual events, has collaborated with major entertainment brands including HBO, Disney, and Epic Games. Their involvement adds credibility to the leak, although Epic Games has yet to confirm the event.
Fortnite community torn between hype and hilarity
As with most Fortnite leaks, the news sparked a variety of responses on social media. Fans of Sabrina Carpenter are over the moon, while others have been quick to call it a 'miss' for the game. One user quipped, '' while another joked about assembling a full preset of Sabrina-themed cosmetics.
The debate escalated with some players voicing frustration over artists like Hatsune Miku still being sidelined, while others passionately defended the rumored Carpenter feature. 'We should have had a hatsune miku concert.' wrote an excited supporter.
Others, however, questioned the necessity of another in-game concert altogether. 'We don't want it,' read one blunt comment, summing up the divide.
While nothing has been officially announced, Fortnite has a consistent history of delivering immersive musical events. From Travis Scott to Ariana Grande, virtual concerts have become a staple in the Fortnite universe, drawing millions of players into synchronized experiences that blend music, gaming, and visual storytelling.
If the Sabrina Carpenter concert does go live, it would mark another step in Fortnite's evolution as a digital stage for top-tier entertainment.
For now, players can enjoy Season 8's Festival Pass, already packed with Carpenter-themed cosmetics - and wait for the official word from Epic. But if the past is any indication, this leak may just turn into Fortnite's next headline moment.

Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend listening party turns into public health scare: After 'Coughgate,' fan tests Covid positive
What started as a dream evening for die-hard Sabrina Carpenter fans has now become the centre of an internet frenzy. Following 'Coughgate,' the fan-driven chaos at Sabrina's intimate Man's Best Friend listening party, a new concern has popped up — one attendee claims they've tested positive for COVID-19. The private event, originally meant to celebrate Sabrina's upcoming album, is now being talked about as much for the coughing controversy as for the music itself. Inside the exclusive L.A. listening party The much-anticipated listening party for Man's Best Friend took place in Los Angeles last week, attended by just 26 hand-picked fans. This exclusive event was a celebration ahead of the album's release on August 29, 2025. With cosy vibes, early track previews, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience to connect with Sabrina and fellow fans, the party was meant to be a tight-knit and special gathering. However, the post-event shenanigans have now unravelled what is now being termed 'Coughgate' online. 'Coughgate' takes over. X: Asthmatic fan speaks out as others report falling sick Shortly after the listening party, social media was ablaze with rumours that attendees had started feeling unwell, and many pointed fingers at a fan who had been audibly coughing during the event. The blame quickly snowballed, with users accusing the coughing fan of showing up sick and potentially spreading illness. The fan in question, known on X as @pollynpocket, stepped forward with a heartfelt apology and a detailed explanation. She made it clear that she wasn't sick and that the coughing stemmed from a long-term health condition — asthma — aggravated during her Uber ride to the venue. In a series of tweets, she wrote, "I would like to address the situation regarding Sabrina Carpenter's listening party. I'm sure you all know by now that someone was coughing at the event... I'm taking accountability and owning up to it being me. I understand how this all looks and why people are upset, and I would appreciate it if you guys took a moment to hear me out.' She continued, "It was never 'I'm sick, but I'm going anyway.' I've been suffering from asthma since I was a child, and unfortunately, on the way to the event, my Uber driver was smoking cigarettes. I wasn't coughing literally up until that hour when I arrived, so I didn't think much of it.' The fan added, 'I also have multiple admins here and on my update account, so I logged out when I saw the tweets about me because I felt very embarrassed and self-conscious with the insults and hate tweets, so any activity you saw was from the other admins.' The fan emphasised that she had no intention of harming anyone and was just excited to see Sabrina with fellow fans who loved her music. She explained that she did her best to cover her mouth while coughing and reiterated that if she had believed she was contagious, she would have stayed home: 'I couldn't control the asthma attack and would've never gone if I thought I had anything contagious. I've been apologising to fans directly. I just wanted to see Sabrina and vibe with people who love her too.' Still, the fact that multiple attendees later reported falling sick — even if the cause remains unconfirmed — turned Coughgate from a misunderstanding into a flashpoint of debate across fan spaces online. Notably, the asthmatic fan has now disabled her X account, as online discourse continues to grow. X users react to Asthmatic fan's apology Fan reactions to Coughgate were a mix of concern and chaos. Some fans defended @pollynpocket, saying asthmatic coughing isn't contagious and urging people to be more compassionate. I've fallen down the rabbit hole of the Sabrina Carpenter fan who has asthma and is being blamed for getting some of the fans sick at the listening party and I'm absolutely shocked how incredibly awful they are all being? 'Asthma is not contagious. Y'all need to calm down,' one fan posted. Others, especially those with immunocompromised loved ones, raised questions about why attendees weren't masking just as a precaution. One tweet read, 'I always mask in public because my partner's immunocompromised. You can't control others, but you can manage your own risk.' I'm still stuck on why someone would not be masking if they're immunocompromised, just as a precaution. My partner is immunocompromised and I always mask at concerts, on public transport and in crowded places. I can't control others but I can manage my own risk Plot Twist: Fan tests Covid-positive As if the drama couldn't get any messier, a new twist has emerged. A fan who attended the same party shared that they tested positive for Covid. They posted a PSA on X urging others to get tested: "Those who attended the Los Angeles listening party, please test for covid, as I just got a positive result." Those who attended the Los Angeles listening party pls test for covid as i just got a positive result.🤍 The internet, of course, reacted instantly. One user joked, 'The concept of a Sabrina Carpenter listening party being the cause of a COVID surge,' while others expressed concern over possible exposure. the concept of a sabrina carpenter listening party being the cause of a covid surge What we know about Man's Best Friend Despite the viral chaos, anticipation for Man's Best Friend is still peaking. The album is set to release on August 29, 2025. The lead single, Manchild, dropped earlier on June 5, co-written and co-produced with Jack Antonoff (and Amy Allen as co-writer). The album has 12 tracks in total. Earlier, the imagery for the album had sparked mixed reactions over its alleged provocative concept.

How to get Battlefield 6 rewards through BF2042
Image via DICE. After the end of the open beta phase of Battlefield 6, DICE added new content in Battlefield 2042 to hook the players to its franchise. The open beta spanned through two weekends and garnered over half-a-million concurrent players, which was a huge success of the franchise, especially after the disastrous performance of BF2042. Well, it seems DICE was able to restore the lost faith of the fans in this long standing franchise, and as a consequence Battlefield 2042 was enriched with a sudden update. Not only that, the premium Battle Pass was made free, with which players can obtain Battlefield 6 items. Players can get Battlefield 6 items by completing the Battlefield 2042 Battle Pass All the Battlefield 6 rewards will be available in the game when it will launch. | Image via Epic Games. The new 9.2.0 update has added numerous fan-favorite contents in Battlefield 2042, like the iconic Iwo Jima map from BF1942, BF1943, and BF5. Along with it, two brand new weapons and two new vehicles have been added as well. But the highlight of this update has to be the Premium Battle Pass which has been absolutely free for all players, starting from August 18 to October 7, 2025. The most exciting part of this Battle Pass is that players can unlock rewards for Battle Pass 6, which will be reflected directly into the game when you launch it on October 10. The new season in Battlefield 2042 is dedicated to Battlefield 6 itself as it's named 'Road to Battlefield 6.' This season's Battle Pass features a total of 60 tiers, and out of those tiers, there are a total of six rewards which are outlined red, which are actual Battlefield 6 items. Another exciting thing is that all those six rewards along with the associated items are inspired from various Battlefield titles. Here are they: Tier Level to Reach Reward Item Type Inspired From 8 Western Front Weapon Skin Battlefield 1 19 Muller Weapon Skin Battlefield V 30 Aurora Vehicle Skin Battlefield Bad Company 2 40 Blackburn Vehicle Skin Battlefield 3 49 Commander Soldier Skin Battlefield 4 60 Sovereign Soldier Soldier Skin Battlefield 2042 However, the Battle Pass might be free, but players still need to grind hard to farm XP in order to reach certain tiers and unlock those rewards.

And as a reason for that, Battlefield 2042 has recently achieved a huge player count after so many years. Read More: Why is Battlefield 2042 player count going up?
