Speaking to Teen Vogue about joining Fortnite, Rae said: “I used to play Fortnite quite a lot. I got introduced to it in high school. I also have little brothers that love it—this will be a big flex card. Over the last few years, it’s become quite the big deal to get yourself into Fortnite,” she continued, with Laufey, Olivia Ridrigo, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and more all having a Fortnite moment. “I’ve been a huge fan of everything that they’ve done with a lot of other women in pop music. It’s really exciting that they asked me.”

“There’s so much attention to detail that goes into it,” she explained. “They really care about building out every little piece of myself in the game, and making sure it feels accurate and true to my creative ideas. I had sent 10 selfies that were just the most odd pictures of myself, just so that [the skins] could be as accurate as possible.”

In other news, a former Rockstar Games developer has said they wouldn’t be shocked if Grand Theft Auto 6 is delayed once more.
