My Question or Issue

So I saw that tweet from Barack Obama that listed his favorite music of 2022, and one of those is a song by Omar Apollo. So I search him up, and the app crashes. Pretty typical problem, just open the app again as normal, but the same thing happens. So I do the usual force stop, restart phone, uninstall and reinstall, but the same thing happens when I search up Omar Apollo specifically. All other artists are fine. I've tried every exhaustible option, and the same thing keeps happening.

I'd hate to factory reset as a last resort for this very minor issue.

This is also happening when I search for Samara Joy on my Pixel 6a running Android 13. Has been happening since January or December.

Tested on my Pixel Pro 7 and my partner's Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, both are having the issue. Both on android 13 and with Spotify version 8.8.8.548.

Other 3 friends with iPhones don't see that issue.

It only happens when I start searching for Samara Joy, it don't even let me finish typing and the app crashes as soon as she shows up as the top result, searching for Sam Smith for example works fine.
