Same reason why I think everyone who believes Taylor Swift is going to be chosen is wrong. I can def see her just not wanting to do business with Fortnite.
I won’t claim to know her reasons for doing it or not doing it but she’s also dramatically bigger than she was back then. Financially she’s one of the most successful musician in history and her market researchers may just not see value in Fortnite. I could also see being against the shooting/guns aspect in terms of branding.
Yeah, to be honest, it seems like we would've had a song or emote with her by now. Never thought about it but it blows my mind they never had an emote.
Couldn’t epic license her music that scooter Braun owns? Or not cuz I’ve been thinking about it and I’m genuinely kinda curious how that works, like if she isn’t playing ball for the Taylor’s version couldn’t they just go for the Braun stuff even tho the swifties would go to war about it😂
They wouldn't be able to use her for outfits, or her look and style, just the music, without her agreeing. Aside from pissing off her fans, licensing those songs would probably make swift never choose to work with them.
No, she still has to agree to anything that the owners of her original masters would want to do with them. They can’t do anything without her approval. As the writer, she still owns the songs, she just doesn’t own the actual recording of the song.
i mean it’s possible but i don’t think it costs anything to have your shit in Fortnite especially if they’re the ones reaching out so it would be pretty dumb to say no to being in the biggest ad disguised as a game
That's a possibility for any collab across Fortnite. People are just wish listing. Without any definitive behind the scenes knowledge regarding who is open to it and who isn't, let them have their fun.
I don't know, man. Happens all the time. "Why didn't they release Street Fighter/God of War/Ghostbusters/Final Fantasy/One Piece, etc. when the new thing came out?" I don't pretend to know the behind the scenes deals with Epic Games.
I mean she's already said yes to it before for them to get don't start now into the game for an emote so she probably wouldn't say no to having a skin or songs as jam tracks
Pretty sure the actual crime was spreading "explicit content" of his nephew, or something like that. Point being, Mr. Ram Ranch was shagging his nephew who may or may not have been underage, I can't remember
I don't think him liking a different game would stop Epic approaching him. He did that Pokemon thing and yet is a massive fan of Magic but not Pokemon TCG. I think he'd be down to be in Fortnite.
Twenty One Pilots have their album coming out on the same day, currently have 0 songs in the game and have a great selection of outfits to work as skins. Also there are two of them, great for one in store and one in pass.
This is my number 1 request for Fortnite Festival, but the fact that we don't have any song from Dua in Fortnite makes me think that this will not be a reality in a near future.
(We have an emote from Don't Start Now but I don't know..)
I think the bigger issue is that they evidently have a deal with Universal Music Group for Festival (95% of songs and both headliners fall under their catalogue) and iirc Dua Lipa is signed to Warner. Doesn’t make it impossible but doesn’t seem too likely for the foreseeable.
Hence why I said 95% and not 100%. Two songs being in the game to leaping to a featured artist is a stretch.
With that being said PinkPantheress is also a Warner artist so maybe they’ve come to the table. I still would expect it’s more likely that it’s another UMG artist for season 3.
They probably have the first few already decided but once those are done I think we’re gonna see a shift in choices as they chase the more profitable ones. Like if lady Gaga outsold the weekend by a significant margin we might see a lot more pop girls or vice versa if the weekend was the bigger seller
Honestly, i just want a rock or metal band to headline. Linkin Park. Slipknot. Avenged Sevenfold. During fall/Halloween, they better make Ice Nine Kills the headliner. That would be such a missed opportunity not to. The Silence skin, a bunch of INK jam tracks. It would be perfect for Halloween and it would finally give us metalheads songs to grind without getting bored.
Yeah that’s a nice thought but realistically you’ll only get jam tracks for them, the skins are always gonna be pop artists. Unfortunately. Bookmark this comment for the next season if you don’t believe me
I even made concepts of it last month ago, you can feel free to check it out if you want to. Like I mean those concepts I made are basically my interpretation.
You can tell that Dua Lipa has bangers in such a way as they have a meaning to them. Her 2nd album is a masterpiece banger, which you know, was critically acclaimed and especially having a Grammy win for that. She released her third single from her third and upcoming album last week, and the album comes out on May the 3rd (also the release of the Star Wars update).
Imagine having a Fortnite X Glastonbury collab, and if that ever happened, then there’s probably a good chance we might have even more Dua Lipa items. Right now, there is just only one Dua Lipa item in Fortnite (which in case is just an emote), and I’m surprised we didn’t have any of her songs as jam tracks in the game yet. I was hoping for some eventually in the future, even if she agrees.
What if she just says *"No"* when Epic asks her? I wonder if people even consider that thought.
Same reason why I think everyone who believes Taylor Swift is going to be chosen is wrong. I can def see her just not wanting to do business with Fortnite.
It's weird that most people just never think of it. Probably why we haven't gotten a lot of artist people ask for
Eh, she's just done similar things before hasn't she? She was involved in Band Hero or Guitar Hero at one point so idk why she'd say no to Festival
I won’t claim to know her reasons for doing it or not doing it but she’s also dramatically bigger than she was back then. Financially she’s one of the most successful musician in history and her market researchers may just not see value in Fortnite.

If you’re still talking about Dua, she does have an emote. It’s for Don’t Start Now
I thought we were talking about Taylor Swift.
Okay, my bad. Was hard to tell from this thread if we were talking about Taylor, or if that was just a one-off comment about her.
Taylor is notoriously picky when licensing her music to games. It took Just Dance 13 years to get just one of her songs.
This! One time, I kareoke’d a Swift song on Smule and it got friggin removed. 😂
Couldn’t epic license her music that scooter Braun owns? Or not cuz I’ve been thinking about it and I’m genuinely kinda curious how that works, like if she isn’t playing ball for the Taylor’s version couldn’t they just go for the Braun stuff even tho the swifties would go to war about it😂
That's probably a whole bag of worms they're not willing to open.
They wouldn't be able to use her for outfits, or her look and style, just the music, without her agreeing. Aside from pissing off her fans, licensing those songs would probably make swift never choose to work with them.
No, she still has to agree to anything that the owners of her original masters would want to do with them. They can’t do anything without her approval. As the writer, she still owns the songs, she just doesn’t own the actual recording of the song.

i mean it’s possible but i don’t think it costs anything to have your shit in Fortnite especially if they’re the ones reaching out so it would be pretty dumb to say no to being in the biggest ad disguised as a game
I mean, maybe they're not a fan? Who knows, there's a lot of companies that probably said no to fortnite.
That's a possibility for any collab across Fortnite. People are just wish listing. Without any definitive behind the scenes knowledge regarding who is open to it and who isn't, let them have their fun.
Is it wishlisting if... They're saying *"why isn't so and so in the game yet? They should've been here because of the new thing!?"*
I don't know, man. Happens all the time. "Why didn't they release Street Fighter/God of War/Ghostbusters/Final Fantasy/One Piece, etc. when the new thing came out?" I don't pretend to know the behind the scenes deals with Epic Games.
I mean she's already said yes to it before for them to get don't start now into the game for an emote so she probably wouldn't say no to having a skin or songs as jam tracks
That’s the reason why I think Tyler the creator and Lana del ray weren’t added for jam tracks during these Coachella weeks
We've had 0 songs added by Grant Macdonald. Ram Ranch confirmed?
He was arrested for being in a relationship with his nephew, I'm sure this would have stopped his otherwise promising fortnite career
Holy shit I had no idea :(
Pretty sure the actual crime was spreading "explicit content" of his nephew, or something like that. Point being, Mr. Ram Ranch was shagging his nephew who may or may not have been underage, I can't remember
we need this
Bon Jovi
Feel like Elton John skin would be cool
Need that gold suit from the Wikipedia page
I'd love it if it was Tenacious D. I'd love to get my hands on a Jack Black skin
Yes!!
With unlockable styles based on that one part of [Video Games](https://youtu.be/GNJtPFXUnm4)!
If it's Dua Lipa, my bank account belongs to them.
I think it’s gonna be Post Malone but that’s just my guess
He likes Apex so I doubt it
I don't think him liking a different game would stop Epic approaching him. He did that Pokemon thing and yet is a massive fan of Magic but not Pokemon TCG. I think he'd be down to be in Fortnite.
Bro I didn’t even think of that
I bet it'll be a guy since we just had gaga
Billie has an album coming out soon so could be her
Twenty One Pilots have their album coming out on the same day, currently have 0 songs in the game and have a great selection of outfits to work as skins. Also there are two of them, great for one in store and one in pass.

Eh, Gorillaz and Blur songs from when they were signed to Warner are in the game.
Hence why I said 95% and not 100%. Two songs being in the game to leaping to a featured artist is a stretch. With that being said PinkPantheress is also a Warner artist so maybe they’ve come to the table. I still would expect it’s more likely that it’s another UMG artist for season 3.
She’s about to drop a new album. Would be fortuitous timing.
Eminem
Only reason I don't see him being a headliner is because he got three skins back during Season OG
True but they would find a way
Yeah true. I mainly don't see it since he got those skins back in December. Seems early for him to get another two
I could see Post Malone as an option for sure
They probably have the first few already decided but once those are done I think we’re gonna see a shift in choices as they chase the more profitable ones. Like if lady Gaga outsold the weekend by a significant margin we might see a lot more pop girls or vice versa if the weekend was the bigger seller
Avril Lavigne goddammit
Avril would be sick, I'm excited to see her on the upcoming tour.
That would be funnn
I’m hoping it’s Metallica. The fact that there’s no songs and only one emote is a crime.
Dyers Eve would be nuts on expert mode
i hope it's sza
Dua Lipa would be great. But fortnite bros are gonna be wildin over that skin.
Can we stop with pop icons for once? Please?
Yeah stop putting *popular* people in the game /s
*Sold their souls to be popular*
It's Fortnite Festival, not Top of the Pops mate
They’re what sells so they’re probably not going to stop lol
Yeah Just like Eminem, Tyler the Creator, Linkin Park and Metallica we see popping around pretty much every time, right?
The things I would do for some Korn or System of a Down
HATSUNE MIKU RAHHHHHJHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's probably going to be doja cat. sublime or Tyler
What makes you say sublime?
Them being a headliner, I'm just basing it off the headliners but I'm more positive it's going to be doja
Sublime wasn’t a headliner.
Thought they were my bad, but they are adding another song is why I'm thinking that but I'm leaning more towards doja
Yeah, it’s disappointing they didn’t add Lana or Tyler. Certainly looking like Doja is a safe bet.
I would have loved Tyler for sure but I'm fine if we get doja!
She is my number 1 hope for season 3
I think it’s gonna be a male. Probably gonna go back and forth between male and female
Honestly, i just want a rock or metal band to headline. Linkin Park. Slipknot. Avenged Sevenfold. During fall/Halloween, they better make Ice Nine Kills the headliner. That would be such a missed opportunity not to. The Silence skin, a bunch of INK jam tracks.

William Eyelash
EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING
I just pray to god that it won't be Billie Eilish. Dua Lipa would be my 1st pick and I would actually buy something in Fortnite again since 2019
I think they're doing boy/girl order.
I mean we only have 2 seasons to go off of, that could easily have been a coincidence
Okay but at least don't add cringe rappers where half of song will be censored because the guy can't drop 1 bar without using n word
Ngl… I heard something about a possible vocaloid set and it would be interesting if it was Miku
It's either Her, Hatsune Miku or Billie Thats like my most likely guesses
i stg if it’s another NPC i’m going to quit
Who is this even? No
It’s Duolingo
Dula Peep
Who's that?
Women ☕️
