The rumor mill is churning once again, this time swirling around the possibility of Taylor Swift gracing the virtual battlegrounds of Fortnite. But before you start practicing your floss dance in a banana costume, let’s separate the facts from the fanfic.
Here’s what we know
There’s no official confirmation
Neither Epic Games (Fortnite’s creators) nor Taylor Swift have announced any collaboration.
The rumors stem from
A potential leak about the Fortnite Festival Season 2 launching February 22nd (today!). (However, leaks aren’t always accurate.)
Coincidental timing with the release of her song “Karma,” which some fans think could tie into a Fortnite theme.
Disney acquiring a stake in Epic Games, opening doors for more Disney-related collaborations. (But remember, Disney doesn’t own Taylor Swift’s music.)
As of now, neither Taylor Swift nor Epic Games has made any official statements regarding a collaboration or concert in Fortnite. While fans may hope for such an exciting event, it remains mere speculation until confirmed by credible sources.
Past Collaborations
Fortnite has a history of hosting virtual concerts and collaborations with various artists and celebrities. Past events, such as concerts featuring Travis Scott and Marshmello, have drawn millions of players worldwide.
The Weeknd had a massive concert in Fortnite last year, so it’s not impossible for Taylor to join the party. Who knows what surprises she has up her sleeve?
Until there’s an official announcement from Taylor Swift’s team or Epic Games, fans should temper their expectations and enjoy the game’s current content.
While the prospect of a Taylor Swift concert in Fortnite is undoubtedly thrilling, We’ll have to wait for official announcements before we know for sure.
Final Words
In the meantime, keep an eye on official Fortnite and Taylor Swift channels for any updates. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll see a “Shake It Off” emote light up the Fortnite stage!
