I can ask Siri what the current playing song is and she'll bring up a player modal as well as tell me the name. I'd like to be able to trigger this same response from a Shortcut. Is this possible?

If you open the shortcuts app, go to the gallery tab and search Shazam there are a couple of options. I edited the first one to take out the automatic save bit and just had it tell meter song. That said there is now a Shazam option for control centre so it’s probably not needed.

I have the medium size shortcuts widget in a stack on my first home page that shows four shortcuts of which one is the Shazam shortcut.

Apologies I was unclear. This is to show me the currently playing on my phone. When you ask Siri this it'll bring up a player modal. I want to trigger that via shortcut.
