Spotify was down for a lot of users right after Taylor Swift released her new album

Was your Spotify down at about 12pm today in Malaysia? It might be because of Taylor Swift. Spotify users online have reported that the music platform was down for a while right after Taylor Swift released her anticipated studio album Midnights.

Personally, Spotify worked for me just fine, as I was able to listen to my own playlists without any issues. Although it could be because the songs I listened to was already downloaded and not anything new. I also asked the team if the platform was down for them, but they said they didn’t have any issues.

However, Twitter was filled with Spotify users who wondered why the platform was down. Many speculated that it could be because of Taylor Swift’s album release around the same time.

On Twitter, Taylor Swift fans who used Apple Music also added to the sting, saying that Apple Music had no problem streaming the new album. A non-Swiftie Apple Music user also boasted that they managed to listen to the album before other Taylor Swift fans because they weren’t using Spotify.

Taylor Swift’s album Midnights was released today at 12pm Malaysian time. Spotify also announced an additional release of 7 bonus tracks under Swift’s new album—but so far, it doesn’t seem like the platform crashed again.

Are you a Swiftie? Did the Spotify app crash for you, too? Let us know in the comments below.
