Report claims Spotify and Uber will announce partnership

While Taylor Swift and Spotify won’t ever be getting back together, Spotify looks to be forging a new partnership with ridesharing service Uber. This supposed partnership will allow you to select what Spotify playlist to listen to when you’re in an Uber car. Invites were reportedly sent to the media for a Monday conference call with a “special guest partner” and a “first-of-its-kind partnership.” The invite shows a music staff as seen above.
