For quite some time, not only fictional characters have been present in Fortnite. Well-known musicians regularly appear as guests in the successful battle royale. One of the newest emotes is dedicated to the musician Sabrina Carpenter and even plays a song. However, it was removed after less than a day.
Who is Sabrina Carpenter? Sabrina Carpenter is an actress and singer from the USA. She became known through the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. Today, she mainly works as a pop singer.
In 2024, she celebrated a major success with her song Espresso. On YouTube, the music video has over 200 million views. Accordingly, the emote Caffeinated
was released. However, this cosmetic item was removed from the game after less than a day.
The latest event in Fortnite is particularly interesting for fans of horror films:
The emote runs in the wrong version
Why was the emote removed? The emote features a little dance and the song Espresso is supposed to play. However, the version that was briefly in the game had a major problem for many players.
The wrong version of the song was played, specifically one at a significantly increased speed, which can also be found on YouTube as the Double-Shot Version
. User Emdoodev showcases this on Reddit, where you can also hear the correct version in comparison.
After less than 24 hours, the emote was temporarily removed, as Fortnite announced on x.com.
This is not the first time there have been problems with a song in Fortnite. As Dexerto reports, the word Devil
was censored in the emote from Doja Cat’s song Paint The Town Red initially and was later added back.
According to the post on x.com, the emote will return, but it is not yet known if any changes will be made or when the emote will return. Soon, Fortnite players can indulge in nostalgia again, as an old season returns. Everything about Season 2: OG can be found here: Fortnite: When does Chapter 5 Season 4 end?
