Taylor Swift has become the first solo female to win the Best Direction award at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n

The star scooped the prize for her music video for The Man, taken from her 2019 album Lover – making her the first solo female artist to earn the honour.<\/p>\n

“This is amazing,” Swift said, as she accepted the award virtually from her home.<\/p>\n

“This is the very first video that I’ve ever directed on my own. I’m just so grateful for this,” she exalted.<\/p>\n

“I want to take an opportunity to say thank you to the team who believed in me as a first-time director and made this video with me,” she acknowledged. <\/p>\n

Swift continued: “I was told that this was an industry-voted award. So I want to say thank you to everyone in the industry who voted for this video. But I also really want to thank the fans because you are the only reason why the industry cares about anything that I do.”<\/p>\n

She added: “Everything that you guys have done \u2014 Folklore this summer \u2014 I’m just so blown away and taken aback by your generosity to me.” <\/p>\n

She concluded: “So, thank you for everything. I hope I get to see you soon.”<\/p>\n

In the music video, Swift transforms into a brunette, bearded man, whose bad behaviour, including urinating on a wall and manspreading on the subway, is on display throughout the clip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
