How to get the Ariana Grande Fortnite XOXO emote

The much-loved Fortnite Rift Tour has finally ended; however, the celebrations are still in full swing, and according to leakers and dataminers, this was only just the start of things to come in the future.

Although it's too early to say anything for certain, prominent Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR seems to think that another Rift Tour will occur in 2022 as well. However, loopers will have to wait for that possibility to come true.

The Rift Tour spray that will be a reward for tomorrow's challenges is codenamed "RiftTour2021"The name "RiftTour2021" suggests that this won't be the last Rift Tour we've had. Maybe this will become an annual thing? 👀

The Fortnite XOXO emote will be up for grabs in a few hours, but it cannot be purchased from the Item Shop. Players will have to complete a series of challenges before they can acquire it and show it off to friends.

While these tasks may be challenging, Epic Games is giving players a week's time to complete them. With that said, here's how players can go about obtaining the Ariana Grande Fortnite XOXO emote in record time in-game.
