    PayPal reportedly plans to separate Venmo from the rest of the company.

    Enrique Lores, who took over as PayPal CEO in March, is putting Venmo into a standalone segment within the company, “making it easier to track its progress or potentially sell the business to another company,” according to a report from CNBC. As part of the change, PayPal reportedly aims to hire a banking executive to head up the new Venmo unit.

    Taylor Swift tries to trademark her voice and image.

    Swift’s company filed trademark applications for the sound marks “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift” and “Hey, it’s Taylor,” while another application applies to a photo of Swift “wearing a multi-colored iridescent bodysuit with silver boots.”
