Open Spotify.

How Do I Share My Spotify With Friends?
If you want to share your Spotify account with your friends, your options are limited.
It is possible to set up a Spotify Duo or Spotify Premium account that allows either two or up to six people in the same household to use the same account. However, if you want to share with someone that does not live with you, it's not legally possible to do so at this time.
A better option is to share playlists with friends that use a Spotify free account rather than have both of you sign up to a Spotify Premium account.
