Former President Donald Trump was seemingly spotted checking out a Spotify Wrapped playlist.
The blurry image was posted to social media and shows Trump at a round table at an event with his wife Melania Trump by his side. In the photo, Trump is looking down at a tablet that seems to have the audio streaming platform's app open.
The Spotify Wrapped playlist is released towards the end of every year and shows individual users their most listened-to content, including songs, albums, artists, genre, podcasts, and even how many minutes someone spent listening to content.
People reacted to the photo of Trump on social media.
"i'm in tears even trump is checking for his spotify wrapped," wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter.
The original poster wrote: "🔥🚨DEVELOPING: an Image of President Trump viewing his Spotify Wrapped Playlist has surfaced. What do you think Trump listens to?"
And a third user commented: "Trump is probably the only person i'm actually curious to know what his spotify wrapped is 🤣."
Newsweek was unable to independently verify the source of the photo and has reached out to the original poster. We also contacted Trump's representatives by email for comment.
