Is this AutoTune in action?

I read about one Shana Tucker, a cellist who is a jazz artist, so I cued up her new "Shine" album on Tidal. Through the first few tracks I thought to myself "boy, she hits the middle of note every time", and I thought about AutoTune. Then, there is this strange rapid change in her voice on track 9 (Amazing Grace) right at the 1:04 > 1:06. It has to be an artifact of AutoTune, right? Or am I being too pessimistic?

Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math!

It sounds more like she has sung the three notes on three different takes and then it is cut together to get the rapid change at the 1:04 > 1:06 part. That said it does sound like it might be some autotune involved on both cello and voice. The best way to hear a autotune is that it never gets the overtones right. I am a bit thrown off by the eq (or choice of microphone) on the vocal and cello. Both have a dip in a area with much overtone information, and a boost a little higher that messes with the information I need to hear it.
