Spotify’s support Twitter account states that the company is investigating the issue.
As reported by The Verge, the issues with Spotify could be related to a Facebook login issue. The Facebook issue appears to affect several iOS apps, including Spotify, TikTok, and Pinterest.

In a tweet issued at 8:54am ET, Spotify said it has resolved its connectivity problems and everything should be back to normal now. I can vouch for it — been streaming the Tron Legacy soundtrack for the last half an hour.
