Newly discovered audio points to some kind of Lady Gaga crossover in the battle royale game.
A new Fortnite leak has pointed to the possibility that pop superstar Lady Gaga will host a concert inside the battle royale game. She would become just the latest big-name artist to have an in-game concert via Fortnite, following Ariana Grande and Travis Scott.
Lady Gaga appearing in Fortnite wouldn’t be a huge surprise, as documents from the Epic vs. Apple court case mentioned Lady Gaga by name alongside Grande and J Balvin, both of whom already appeared in Fortnite.
The Fortnite Twitter account FNLeaksAndInfo, which posts leaks about the game, discovered a new collaborative mote named “Jug Band” that seemingly references Lady Gaga’s popular song “Poker Face.” You can hear the audio below–it’s definitely “Poker Face.”

Beyond the leak, Epic Games officially announced that the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Royale event–which celebrates “love, understanding, acceptance, and all of the colors that make up the Fortnite community,” returns this week. And beginning September 8, new music from artists in the LGBTQIA+ community is being added to the game, including tunes from Lady Gaga.
There have also been ongoing rumors that Billie Eilish might have a Fortnite concert coming up, but that’s not confirmed as of yet. For Lady Gaga, it appears there is some type of collaboration happening, but whether or not it’s a full-on concert remains to be seen.
Lady Gaga has been flying even higher of late. She released a new single, “Hold My Hand” for Top Gun: Maverick and is currently out on a summer stadium tour.
