Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Taylor Swift has convinced Apple to make a major reversal, Michelle Obama is trying her hand at magazine editing, and Elon Musk says the new Tesla was designed with women in mind. Have a great Monday!
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• Taylor bites into Apple. In an open letter, Taylor Swift called out Apple for not paying artists during the free trial period for its new music streaming service. "It is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing," wrote Swift, who said won't put her latest album on the Apple service. The result? Less than 24 hours later, the company announced that it has changed course and will pay artists during the three-month trial. Fortune
