Girl Gaga dropped into Fortnite Competition season 2 just some days in the past, and she or he’s already shaking up the battle royale—not solely together with her themed cosmetics, but in addition together with her precise presence. Sure, it seems that Girl Gaga—the lady who as soon as requested “what’s fortnight?”—is taking part in Fortnite. And she or he’s not the one pop girly dropping out of the Battle Bus—Kesha apparently downloaded the sport and began taking part in 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. Vogue. Expertise. 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. Seems like this was meant to be. Immersive experiences with artwork I believe actually go away an imprint on the soul and it adjustments 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 appears 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 taking part in Fortnite. Gaga students consider that is Stefani Germanotta herself taking part in the sport—not simply because she posted it, nor as a result of the video is clearly a cellular phone recording of a monitor zoomed in to crop out any figuring out options (not a display screen recording). No, folks (myself included) assume Girl Gaga is definitely taking part in 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 harm. That is new participant vitality. This have to be Gaga.
Although Gaga doesn’t say flat-out that she’s climbing onto the Battle Bus and dropping in with us normies, a minimum of one different pop princess is: Kesha. On February 21, Kesha asked “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 a picture of her Fortnite character carrying Gaga’s Chromatica Armor outfit. Brilliantly, hilariously, the image consists of Kesha’s gamertag, which is solely “keshaishot.”
Moments later, Kesha shared a picture (one which’s additionally clearly taken of a tv display screen moderately 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 taking part in the construct mode model of Fortnite, Kesha shared another grainy cell phone photo of her character mid-build. “Ought to I construct a studio right here?” she puzzled. The final submit she shared, and the one nonetheless at present on the prime of her timeline, exhibits her character mid-death. She captured the image simply because the phrases “You Positioned” appeared on the display screen, however proper earlier than her placement quantity popped up—intelligent woman, now we gained’t know the way properly—or poorly—you probably did. “OMG,” the final post 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.
