Girl Gaga dropped into Fortnite Competition season 2 only a few days in the past, and he or she’s already shaking up the battle royale—not solely together with her themed cosmetics, but additionally together with her precise presence. Sure, it seems that Girl Gaga—the girl who as soon as requested “what’s fortnight?”—is enjoying Fortnite. And she or he’s not the one pop girly dropping out of the Battle Bus—Kesha apparently downloaded the sport and began enjoying it yesterday, too.
Not lengthy after Girl Gaga’s Fortnite Competition season 2 cosmetics and jam tracks dropped, Mom Monster herself shared a submit to Instagram celebrating the collab. “Music. Trend. Know-how. Digital rain for my pores and skin to bop in. Greatest day ever. We liked combining these worlds so we might expertise music on an entire different stage. Looks like this was meant to be. Immersive experiences with artwork I feel actually depart an imprint on the soul and it modifications the textures of how we expertise popular culture. I really like Fortnite*. Monsters get pleasure from!”
The submit features a few press clips and pictures from Epic Video games, together with 3D seems to be at Gaga’s in-game character fashions, however what everyone seems to be honing in on is one clip that seems to be a recording of the monitor of somebody enjoying Fortnite. Gaga students imagine that is Stefani Germanotta herself enjoying the sport—not simply because she posted it, nor as a result of the video is clearly a cellphone recording of a monitor zoomed in to crop out any figuring out options (not a display recording). No, folks (myself included) assume Girl Gaga is definitely enjoying Fortnite as a result of the participant within the video is doing Gaga’s “Rain On Me” dance emote within the storm, and slowly dying. The clip cuts out proper earlier than the participant would have gotten downed by the storm injury. That is new participant vitality. This should be Gaga.
Although Gaga doesn’t say flat-out that she’s climbing onto the Battle Bus and dropping in with us normies, no less than one different pop princess is: Kesha. On February 21, Kesha requested “how do I get Fortnite” on her X (previously Twitter) account, not lengthy after Gaga’s collab was introduced. The subsequent day, she shared a number of posts chronicling her Fortnite journey. “By no means performed a online game in my life however readyyyyy,” she wrote alongside an image of her Fortnite character sporting Gaga’s Chromatica Armor outfit. Brilliantly, hilariously, the image contains Kesha’s gamertag, which is solely “keshaishot.”
Moments later, Kesha shared an image (one which’s additionally clearly taken of a tv display slightly than a screengrab, I really like how the pop girlies’ minds work) of her dropping out of the Battle Bus. “OH MY GOD IM FALLING,” she wrote. Then, clearly enjoying the construct mode model of Fortnite, Kesha shared one other grainy cellphone picture of her character mid-build. “Ought to I construct a studio right here?” she questioned. The final submit she shared, and the one nonetheless at the moment on the prime of her timeline, reveals her character mid-death. She captured the image simply because the phrases “You Positioned” appeared on the display, however proper earlier than her placement quantity popped up—intelligent lady, now we gained’t know the way nicely—or poorly—you probably did. “OMG,” the ultimate submit reads. And ya know what, Kesha, I concur.
The inclusion of Girl Gaga within the Fortnite universe is a win for the pop girlies and gays throughout the globe—TikTok has been flooded with folks posting about Fortnite Competition Season 2, sharing their squads composed of Girl Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Scarlet Witch (mom), and posting movies of Gaga dancing over a downed participant. Gaga’s affect is so large that her Fortnite collab is even courting new gamers like Kesha—and, bizarrely, herself. See you at Ruined Reels, Mom Monster.
