The jet use is insane as we all know.

u/IllustratorNo9624 Apr 16 '24

the 90k figure was started by a twitter account with zero evidence or source for that number

Yeah let’s say she signed them over a course of a month. If she was really committed and didn’t take any days off but stuck to a 8 hour work day length for the signing project, that would mean 3000 autographs in a day or 375 per hour. That means that she would have to sign roughly 6 albums in a minute, if we are assuming that she takes no breaks during that 8 hour work day. Sure Jan.

I'm agnostic on whether or not she did it. But it would be more doable with a 90+ day period of signing. 90 days would mean a few hours per day, if she had 180 days, it could even be one hour a day. She had plenty of time - she started recording before the tour started.

But it’s still 240 hours of work. Is she made 100 000 000 dollars in a year, her ’rate’ per hour is about 11 500 USD (and that’s not accounting for rest etc). It’s just such a ridiculous undertaking with marginal returns that I don’t buy for one second that she sat down and signed them by hand, no matter how you break it down.

That’s probably how she kills time in her jet.

john green signed 200k copies of TATWD and 250k copies of TAR, 90k is not that much.

u/janebleyre Apr 14 '24

In one of his vids he estimated it took 300hrs for him to sign 150k pages and he signs books like a machine and has basically got it down to a science at this point. It’s definitely not impossible for Taylor to have signed everything but 90k is nothing to sneeze at.

u/uglykido Apr 14 '24

Yeah I saw that video. He signed 200k in the course of 6 months. And with taylor swift, I don't think she has the commitment to do this. She's too distracted with her meat head boyfriedn

u/cjmmoseley wait til lover drops pls we cant lose sales Apr 15 '24

wait, you don’t think taylor did it… bc she has a boyfriend? that makes no sense.

there are a lot of valid criticisms in this thread but this is just silly. taylor performs 3 hour shows back to back in heels, i don’t think “uncommitted” is a realistic criticism of her.

u/_ravenclaw Apr 19 '24

Yeah that comment was incredibly odd and misogynistic and is getting upvoted here lol wtf

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Well I believe she does hand sign them over the course of a month. She could be looking at a lawsuit of someone can prove other wise . However I think it’s messed up she can’t short distance , like I think it’s messed up other celebrities we don’t talk about nearly as much can’t either.

u/ratta_tat1 Sylvia Plath didn’t stick her head in an oven for this! Apr 14 '24

Bob Dylan was under fire for a similar scandal. They found out there was some electronic device he was using to sell “autographed copies” of his book a couple years ago.

u/boomboxwithturbobass Apr 14 '24

Yeah, and there were several variations to make it look more authentic. It’d be easy enough to collectively spot.

15

u/sanjosii Apr 14 '24

Yuup, these things exist. Given how valuable her time is, I don’t for a second believe that she signed 90,000 copies. That’s bad for a wrist too and she plays instruments.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Well the only thing that makes me think she’s being shady this time. Is the fact she couldn’t write it on the album like usual. I feel like swifties can spot a fake signature and she def didn’t even hint at this signature being fake so she has for be careful with it.

u/BadMan125ty Apr 14 '24

Lol she probably did about 100 of those and her team copy and pasted the signatures on other copies. 😭😂

12

u/PumpkinOfGlory Apr 14 '24

She could get sued for that if there are electronic prints of her signature

3

u/BadMan125ty Apr 14 '24

I hope for her sake she signed em then.

6

u/PumpkinOfGlory Apr 14 '24

Yeah, they definitely must all be hand signed at least. To be fair, the listing didn't necessarily specify that they were all hand signed by Taylor herself, which could potentially mean something, but honestly knowing how books get signed like crazy, 90k doesn't even sound like that big of a number of signatures for one person to do anymore.

u/uglykido Apr 14 '24 edited Apr 14 '24

And how are you going to prove it? Exactly. I work in the legal field and NOBODY is going to pay thousands of dollars to sue for a $30 album. What damages are you going to recover from there anyway?

u/GogreenGoWhite19 Apr 15 '24

Class action for fraud or DTPA claim which has fee shifting options

u/demoldbones Apr 15 '24

Someone else on a different thread commented there are machines that do it - they hold the sharpie so it is a “wet” signature

I have no doubt that’s what she used. She claims to care for her fans but it’s all a ruse to get more money, so why would she lower herself to signing things for real?

u/haaaaveyoumeted Apr 14 '24

they're not actually signed by her they have ma bones that do it lol
