Open items automatically when you log in on Mac - Apple Support


If it does not appear as a "Login Item" Spotify may install itself as a "modern login item" meaning it will always launch itself unless you uninstall it, or perhaps investigate its settings for one that prevents it from doing that.


To uninstall Spotify I believe all you need to do is to drag its app icon to the Trash. Check with its developer or refer to this post from its community forum.
