Good luck is here for Grammy-winning pop star Chappell Roan, as Epic has revealed the Fortnite collab she's been asking for since last year.

Roan, a noted Fortnite enthusiast who shot to stardom in 2024 for reasons entirely unrelated to Fortnite, made a public plea in an interview with BBC Radio 1 in 2025, begging Epic to "please give me a skin, please." Today, Epic announced that Roan is getting that and much more.

Rounding out the collab are rewards you'll be able to unlock through the season 13 Heartcore music pass, including the Pink Pony Star back bling, Midwest Princess keytar, Subway Serenader mic and Drumset Supernova. All references I 100% understand because I'm super young, hip, and cool. None of that is true, but I'm happy for Chappell and her fans.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
