Merch but.. not?

Yall im genuinely SO confused rn. I never use Reddit and I just logged into this account to ask this I’m not sure about much of Tate stuff, I just know I love her music & wanted a poster.

— there was a package that came but it was from Tate (rca records) but when I opened it, it was a literal Walmart notebook.. like literally FROM Walmart. & it has writing in it but not like hand written writing. Like a poem. lol. I ordered a vinyl with a signed poster? Is this like a thing Tate does before merch comes..? I’ve heard of other artists doing that.

This is quite literally my first time buying merch, my mom never let me get it before and this is the first time! I really like Tate.. and I’m js wondering about this cause me and my mother are really confused.. 🥲
