Do we know the quantity of Gaga’s signed albums? Surely there were only a few hundred copies since they sold out in like 2 minutes

There's NO WAY she signed all of them. Autopen teas

:huh: 235,000 signed copies total?!

Assuming it takes 3 seconds or so to sign one copy, that's 8.16 DAYS of non-stop signing... Like almost 200 hours of pure signing, no sleeping, no breaks for lunch, bathroom, stretching to prevent carpal tunnel, etc.

Considering 3 seconds per copy is honestly pretty conservative, and that it would realistically take longer to sign each copy when averaged, AND that she's a human being that requires food, breaks, sleep, etc. how the **** does she find the time? Like realistically that's at least half a month of her schedule, solely devoted to signing.  :duck:

:shrug: Maybe my assumptions are wrong about how long it takes, but honestly I think she's got to be using an autopen or staff to sign for her. :excuseu:


 

Spoiler

Just been arguing with ChatGPT about the plausibility of this.  I tried to get it to argue in Taylor's favor and play the devil's advocate, while remaining logical, but even it couldn't dispute the numbers. With every possible explanation it also gave a hefty dose of of :awkney:.

Honestly I'm a big fan of Taylor and her music, but watching an AI drag her brightened up my night I won't lie. :ohwell:

 

(and yes I know gpt is just a language model, and not god)

It was about 1K - 3K per batch depending on the country 

And yes it typically sold out in a couple of minutes

It just shows that she has as much demand as Taylor Swift and she could do hundreds of signed copies too and they would still sell well

But I don't think Gaga has the energy or patience to sign so many

There is no way she sat there signing 35K signatures. Girl bye.

She didn't. Her time is too valuable for that. What she makes an hour does not justify this activity.

Judas is coming, let the cultural baptism begin.

No she signs them, some fans even find her cats' hair inside the booklets

But honestly I'm tired of the TTPD era I wish she just start releasing the next Taylor's Versions, I'm not moving unless these CDs arrive with black confetti.  

There's also the fans that get a machine error copy where the autopen didn't hit the booklet correctly and they end up only getting a black smudge of ink on the paper. Given the volume and massive time commitment, I'm going to lean on occam's razor and say that over 200k signed cds were indeed signed by autopen.

Do we know how many signed copies of Mayhem Gaga sold? I’ve always wondered how many she signed and how long it probably took her

 

NVM can’t read someone already answered this

I think signed items should be limited. There should be a sense of exclusivity. What’s the point of having that many copies signed? (Beyond the obvious cash grab). If you’re announcing that large amount of availability, then why would anyone rush to buy one. It loses its value and any urgency.

her fans claimed it would sell out in minutes, after more than 2 days over 15k is still in stock.

I wonder who are the 20k dumb people who actually bought it for like the 50 time.

the point is, she false advertised them as 'exclusive' and 'limited edition' at the beginning of the era
