Fortnite continues to be one of the biggest games on the planet, but it isn’t just a place for gamers to come together and battle it out.

In that spirit, pop star Chappell Roan is joining the Fortnite Festival as the game’s next Icon as Season 13 kicks off this week.

Throughout the upcoming Fortnite Festival, players can purchase and unlock new Chappell Roan-inspired skins. There are also new accessories like the Pink Pony Star Back Bling, Midwest Princess Keytar, Subway Serenader Mic, and Drumset Supernova.
