It looks like your variable song_uri is simply "spotify:track:s", could you check?

OK according to https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.22.0/#spotipy.client.Spotify.playlist_add_items, items needs to be a list.

So use playlist_add_items(playlist_id, [song_uri]) instead of playlist_add_items(playlist_id, song_uri)
