Which US singer became the first female solo artist to win Best Director at the 2020 MTV Video Awards?

"The Man" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, for her seventh studio album, "Lover" (2019). The song was serviced to US adult contemporary and pop radio formats on January 27 and 28, 2020, as the fourth and final single from the album.

An official music video for "The Man" was released on February 27, 2020, directed by Swift herself, marking her solo directorial debut. The satirical video sees Swift in her theoretical male alter-ego named "Tyler Swift", voiced by Dwayne Johnson, presenting several prevalent examples of sexist double standards in society, including objectification, sexualization of women, toxic masculinity, and patriarchy.

The video received critical acclaim for its concept and Swift's transformation into a man. It was nominated for the Video of the Year, Video for Good, and Best Direction at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA), winning the latter, making Swift the first solo female director in VMA history to win the category.
