Spotify outage hits the US, Europe

Spotify is experiencing an outage, making music streaming almost impossible in the UK, the United States, and parts of Europe.

Spotify users have reported via Downdetector that the music streaming service is experiencing outages across the UK, the US, and Europe.

Cybernews was unable to access Spotify at around 14:25 (GMT+1) today, and many other users across the world are also experiencing issues.

Downdetector reports that over 13,000 users in the US are experiencing issues, with 98% of users facing problems with the app.

In the UK, almost 2,000 people have reported issues with Spotify, as 78% of people said there were problems with the app, while others reported server issues.

Whether this is a part of a wider problem like the Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services outages remains unclear.

Cybernews will continue to update the article with more information as it arises.

One user complained that songs start and then cut out within 10 seconds. "I'm paying too much for this not to work," the user complained.

"Can you hurry up, I am sitting here alone with my thoughts," another X user said.

Another user posted a GIF of Kermit the Frog holding a machine gun with the caption, "you better figure it out quick."
