Madison Beer signs 'locket' albums at Looney Tunes Saturday

There was an air of excitement outside Looney Tunes Record Store in West Babylon on Saturday, as fans arrived early for Long Island native Madison Beer's album signing.

Hundreds lined up along Brookville Avenue with vinyl copies of Beer's third studio album, "locket," in hand.

Soriber Rosario, 17, of Queens, said she was "emotional" as she waited to meet Beer.

"I am so excited," Rosario said. "I've been a fan of Madison since 2018, and I love her so much."

She said she's going to see the pop star at Madison Square Garden this summer and gives the new album "a 10 out of 10."

Beer arrived at the record store just after noon Saturday, sneaking through a rear entrance as anxious fans waited to get inside.

Fans left the store with Beer’s "MB" signature in black letters across the album’s sky-blue backdrop, sharing stories of their exchanges with the burgeoning star. Some walked to their cars shedding happy tears.

Skylar and Samantha Leversen, sisters from Rocky Point, said they were waiting on line since around 8 a.m. to get their albums signed.

"It was crazy to see her in real life," said Samantha Leversen, 21.

Skylar Leversen, 13, said Beer "is so sweet."

"She held my hand and she was like, 'I love you,' and I was like, 'I love you, too.' "

The long wait to meet Beer "was worth it," said Sameerah Lawal, 21, of Freeport.

"She was really sweet, and she took the time to talk to all of us," Lawal said.

Connor Hattendorf, 24, of North Carolina, was the first person on line, arriving to the store's parking lot around 5 a.m. with a lawn chair and a sleeping bag to keep warm in the frigid temperatures.

Hattendorf said he attended a pop-up for Australian artist The Kid LAROI in Manhattan and regretted not being better prepared. He decided to make sure he was ready for the cold ahead of Beer's Long Island appearance.

"The sleeping bags kept us warm," Hattendorf said.

Dmitri Garcia, 20, of Pennsylvania, said he traveled about three hours to meet Beer.

He said he first became a fan after seeing Beer at the Victoria's Secret fashion show and then got into her music.

"I'm excited," Garcia said. "The album is amazing. I listened to it the moment it came out, and I love every song."

Beer is set to headline Madison Square Garden for the first time on July 13, the final stop on her 32-show "the locket tour." The Jericho native's new album, released Friday, includes the single, "Bittersweet," her first track to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
