Presuming you have access, scan your account details under Settings to review your email address and plan type. If you see something that you or Spotify didn't curate and there are songs nowhere near what you'd normally listen to, an outsider may have gained access. Another obvious clue that your account has been accessed without your knowledge is the addition or removal of playlists. The same goes for the "Jump back in" section where you may find songs or mixes that arouse suspicion. For instance, click on your "Recently played" row and see if it is out of whack.
Otherwise, if you still have access to your account, the other user may have been more subtle, and so there are other things you should check. Sadly, the company does not offer two-factor authentication, so the onus is on you to monitor your credentials. In that case, you won't be able to update the password or email address on your own and you will need to contact Spotify. While you should ordinarily be able to request a new password (and then change it as below), it's possible that a freeloader has stolen your original login details. If your password and/or email suddenly don't work, count that as a double red flag. The most obvious sign that someone is using your account is the inability to log in to Spotify.
