Spotify Allows You To Access Artist Pages Via GIFs

July 25, 2021 Off By Rowena Cletus

GIFs are an essential part of our online communications. They used as euphemisms for reactions that word’s cannot adequately say. GIPHY is an online database containing billions of said GIFs, stickers and other materials. The content can be used to share with group chats to accurately depict your reactions.

GIFs remain the most visual metaphor for most of us. Now, an unlikely partnership between Spotify and GIPHY will help make music accessible to a wider audience. As part of this collaboration, Spotify will allow access to new artist GIFs. When users click the GIF on the verified GIPHY artist’s page, they will be linked directly to the featured artist’s Spotify’s page where they can listen to said music.

There are already several artists participating in the integration, including Doja Cat, The Weekend, Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, The Kid LAROI, and Conan Gray.

The feature is available through GIPHY’s mobile and web platforms, and it can be found on verified GIPHY artist pages worldwide. The steps are as follows:

1) Find GIFs from a particular artist on their official GIPHY channel by visiting GIPHY.com or downloading the GIPHY app.

2) Find the GIF you want to use on the artist’s official GIPHY channel, and tap the “Listen on Spotify” button on any participating GIF.

3) Users can listen directly to the artist on Spotify and discover even more music from their favorite artists.
