In the last few weeks, fans have been linking Taylor Swift and the hit game Fortnite. The new album's lead single with Post Malone has only added rigor to these speculations. Currently, swifties and fans of the battle royale are wondering if Taylor Swift sang about Fortnite in her newest album.
Here's all we know about Taylor Swift and Fortnite and her lead single in the Tortured Poets Department: Fortnight featuring Post Malone.
Fortnite or Fortnight? Taylor Swift's Lead Single with Post Malone Raises Curiosity
Fortnight was released and promoted as the first single from Taylor Swift's new album Tortured Poets Department and this marks the very first collaboration between Swift and Post Malone, two artists who have long admired each other's works.
Although fans were initially excited by the collaboration with Post Malone, a gamer at heart, the song Fortnight is sadly not about the battle royale game Fortnite.
Fortnite is a game that is known to bring iconic musicians to the game and its expansive universe. In the past, fans and players were treated to the special appearances of several artists including Travis Scott, Marshmello, and Ariana Grande. Along these lines, some new rumors suggested that Taylor Swift could soon enrich the virtual stages of Fortnite with a live concert and her own skin. However, Taylor Swift is not coming to Fortnite any time soon.
It could also be the case that these rumors were fueled by her Fortnight single with Post Malone. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no chance of Taylor Swift ever appearing in the game.
Interestingly, Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, recently stated that he wants to bring Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour Concert Movie'' to Disney’s streaming platform. Disney’s collaboration with Epic Games could boost the film’s reach by promoting it within Fortnite, with a live concert and a Taylor Swift skin
If you did not know, Post Malone, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, he has been very open about his love for gaming. He has openly talked about his love for Battle Royale (BR) games and why he prefers playing Apex Legends over Call of Duty Warzone or Fortnite.
