Spotify users who updated their mobile app this week saw something new and unexpected: a new icon on their phones with a shimmering green disco ball.

Spotify has been coy about what the new icon means, responding from its official main account on X to a post about the new logo: “isn’t she lovely? 💚”

A Spotify rep confirmed to Variety that the disco ball is for the audio streamer’s celebration of the 20th anniversary of its founding. Presumably the Spotify disco-ball icon is temporary, but the company spokesman declined to confirm that.
