Spotify is down — here's the latest on the outage

Spotify is experiencing issues, which appear to be causing some users to be unable to use the music streaming platform. At just after 2:15 p.m. ET, we saw huge spikes in Down Detector reports for Spotify.

While the music streamer hasn't commented on the outage yet, we can't help but wonder if the ongoing issues with Google Cloud could be connected.

I'm listening to Spotify

I'm listening to Spotify right now and it's working fine (Downtown Battle Mountain by Dance Gavin Dance if you're curious).

I say this not to run it in your face if you can't listen to Spotify, but just to report that while the outage seems to be widespread, it may not be affecting everyone (I'm in Connecticut, for what it's worth).

Spotify status X account says...

We checked Spotify's Status X account, and it hasn't reported any issues yet.

Of course, we'll keep monitoring the page for any changes, as it's clear something is wrong based on the widespread outage reports.

Down Detector explosion

The spike on Down Detector is massive, with more than 40,000 reports coming in almost all at once. This is an obvious indication that something isn't right.
