How did we leakers find out about the Ariana Grande concert early?
On the morning of July 28, HYPEX and fellow leakers also unearthed some Rift Tour poster graphics. They look like this.
- The first poster on the left reportedly reflects the color scheme of one of Grande’s iconic outfits.
- The second poster is called “Piggy,” which is the same name as Grande’s pet pig, Piggy Smallz.
- The third poster graphic seemingly has ties to Grande’s popular “Rain On Me” song.
This also isn’t the first time the Fortnite faithful have heard mention of Ariana Grande coming to Battle Royale. A recent Season 8 leak posted on the FortniteLeaks subreddit mentioned an Ariana Grande concert as well, which means other details discussed within that leak might also be true. We’ll let you discover those spoilers for yourself, however, if you’d like to see them.
