Save the "autopen" items as collectibles and then sell them for a higher price. BAM!

Literally got mine just now, was also shipped then too, I'm in the UK. Came via DHL.

Mine was shipped via post (usps) but the tracking is broken, might have to email them. Glad you got yours though!

And request refunds. You get a free vinyl and her team gets a financial blow for this stunt

Yeah it's kinda f'd they would do this in the first place... why offer signed if you don't wanna do it? Like you're a mom of 4 kids, I know you probably don't wanna sit there and sign a bunch of autos, like I ain't gonna be mad, just don't offer it or at least make it actually limited so you don't have to do a lot

I've never ordered through TSL before, I wonder if they require you to return the items when getting refunded? If so, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle, just sucks to have them say it's authentic when it isn't

It's kinda strange to me as she seemed to have good ethics at the start of the era in regards to scalpers and no dynamic pricing too. I really feel her team has influenced her to do all of this. They saw the demand and have took advantage of it.

I was thinking the same, I'm sure she signed a decent amount and just thought that was it, just sucks that this will taint the era and be used against her because her team/label wanted to keep selling them. Oh well, like I said, not too upset, if I paid extra I would be.

I think it would have been better for her to do a couple record store signings in the places when she visits for her tour, would have been nice!

Yeah I'm not going to blame her for this. I'm sure the idea was to sign all of the first batch of pre-orders back in November but then her team probably got greedy. Nothing new with the music industry though.

Hopefully there are opportunities where she does signings in person.

Also, you all know Hilary doesn't have a clue of how any of this stuff works so people really shouldn't blame her.

No shade but this really isn't that big of a deal, y'all...

1. People didn't pay any more for signed vs. unsigned - did they?

2. Signatures are totally impersonal anyway, unless it's done in person... so it sorta doesn't matter. Not like Hilary knew (or cared) who she was signing for

Funny thing is I haven't seen a single photo of an actual signed copy ordered from her webstore. It's not that some have and some haven't, they're all autopen. She was legit signing some in her stories and in her TalkshopLive event. Where are those copies? The only real autographs are the ones from the even at The Grove.

Listening to future tripping feels like this!

Bought the Happy Hour Edition on iTunes and finally listened to the (Mine) versions. I love how she's ENUNCIATING every single word. I've been singing the wrong lyrics to some of this songs for years.

Love the mellow versions too.

She's finally SHEDDING every color instead of sh*ting, we love a queen with healthy bowel movements

But for real, she sounds amazing on Come Clean (mine)

All this auto-pen discourse. Time for "luck… or something [fan demanded hand-signed version]"

The small rooms big nerves tour confirmed that the label wasn't betting big on her at first. I get it, she was gone for a while… but oh boy did they underestimate her pull.

I just want to know where all these fans came from and why they weren't here in 2015 when she forever changed pop music with BI.BO. She even cancelled the Houston date at the smallest venue in town bc of lack of demand.

It just goes to show that RCA is a terrrrrrrible label to sign to.

My autopen signature is so bad. The machine skipped so there's a big space between the 'a' and the 'r'.

Forever bitter about her experience with RCA "Rarely Cares about Artists". It's a miracle that BIBO was as good as it was (so grateful for it), but them scrapping songs like Hurts and If I Fall remains criminal behavior.

Nostalgia is at an all time high at the moment with millenials. Her team is clearly taking advantage of that.

Back in 2015 it wasn't really a thing as much, people didn't care.

However I think Hilary should of stuck to her ethics from the "small rooms big nerves tour" and fought to have dynamic pricing turned off for the big tour and autopen. She seems like a really good person so I'm rather surprised.

I agree! I'm yet to see an actual authentic looking one from her webstore. Maybe they just gave them away to family or friends etc

The auto-pen discourse, like...sis! They costed the same right? and yall know Atlantic likely didnt even tell her they released more "signed" copies after they saw demand and I dont think Hilary's going to say anything about it so we'll face it on our own I guess this is Growing Up.mp3

But tbh idk i just got mine and it looks real af compared to Paris' from Infinite Icon...

I'm assuming she only actually signed a couple hundred. Maybe she'll sell them on tour? lol

Wish they had a bigger video budget. because Weather For Jesus deserved better
