Chappell Roan to Showcase Pink Pony Club at Fortnite Festival

To channel the spirit of Ayo Edebiri: “I’m here, and Epic Games staff are nervously asking me to leave the Fortnite servers because ‘I don’t even have enough V-Bucks to grab the Chappell Roan skins yet,’ but I’m just too comfortable.”

For many, Fortnite is simply a battle royale where players fight to be the last one standing. For others, it’s a social playground where you can arm your favorite celebrities, watch them take a loss, and dance like a hyperactive jester. It’s a prime source for viral moments, as seen when Sabrina Carpenter’s skin dropped last year, flooding my TikTok feed with her fans celebrating her Fortnite Festival Icon status.

Now, the spotlight is on the highly anticipated Grammy-winning pop sensation Chappell Roan, who will be the next Icon at Fortnite Festival, following in the footsteps of stars like Carpenter, Bruno Mars, Gorillaz, Metallica, Billie Eilish, and Lisa.

The Chappell Roan “Heartcore” pass will allow players to grab a Pink Pony Club Jam Track, a stylish Chappell skin in pink (with a red variant), and some uniquely named instruments: the Midwest Princess Keytar, Subway Serenader Microphone, and Drumset Supernova.

Additionally, players can find Chappell Roan items in the store, including a third skin. The Roan of Arc skin pays homage to her performance of “Good Luck, Babe” at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. There will also be an emote set to her track “Femininomenon” and a Pink Pony sidekick sporting a cowboy hat, sure to become a fan favorite.

Roan’s entry into the game has been a hot topic on social media lately, thanks to leakers like HypeX. They shared images of a confetti-like pony and a pink, star-shaped club. While it might seem far-fetched to some, a keen-eyed Chappell Roan fan confirmed that it mirrors the pony she performed with at the 2025 Grammys.

Her performance outfit has also made its way into the game, and it’s easy to see why: that cowboy hat and glittery pink breastplate are among her signature looks. Our personal favorite? Her stunning knight ensemble from the VMAs.

Along with Roan’s fabulous outfits come fresh dance emotes and her hit songs, “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Pink Pony Club.”

Given the popularity of pop star skins in Fortnite, it’s only a matter of time before squads of Chappell Roans are roaming Sunset Falls, taking down foes with the charm of pink pony clubs and a level of pop flair that’s anything but ordinary.
