Taylor Swift has created history again. The singer-songwriter picked up the Best Direction award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night and became the first female solo artist to have won in the category.

The 30-year-old songstress made her directional debut for her single `The Man,` which calls out male privilege and sexism. 
 
In the video, Swift dresses up as the male character and shows how much easier life would be as a man. 
 
In the music video, the `Love Story` singer underwent a major transformation using prosthetics and a movement coach to become a man. Dwayne Johnson provided the voice-over for Swift`s speaking parts in the video."Guys, this is amazing. This is the first video I`ve ever directed on my own and I just -- I`m so grateful for this. I want to take an opportunity to say thank you for the team who believed in me as a first-time director and made this video with me," Swift said in her VMAs acceptance speech on Sunday.

She continued by giving a shoutout to the team who helped bring her vision to life."My DP, my AD, my editor, Ethan, Joe, Bill and his team for turning me into a guy, which was very thrilling. I also want to thank two women that I`d worked with convinced me that I was up to the challenge of directing on my own and those women were my producers on this video, Rebecca Skinner and Jil Hardin. Thank you for that," Swift continued.

I also really want to thank the fans because you are the only reason the industry cares about anything that I do and everything that you have done this summer." 
 
"I`m so blown away and taken aback by your generosity to me. Thank you for everything. I hope I get to see you soon," she concluded. 
 
Swift beat Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles and The Weeknd for the Best Direction award.

MTV VMAs 2020: Here's the full list of winners

Youth channel MTV dedicated its Video Music Awards show on Sunday to Chadwick Boseman, calling the 'Black Panther' star, whose death last week at age 43 shocked fans around the world, a "true hero." 
 
Opening the annual ceremony dedicated to the best in pop music, host Keke Palmer called Boseman “an actor whose talent and passion is a true inspiration to all the fans he touched, and everyone he encountered." 
 
"We dedicate tonight’s show to a man whose spirit touched so many. He’s a true hero, not just on screen, but everything he did. His impact lives forever,” Palmer said. 
 
Boseman`s death on Friday of colon cancer brought an outpouring of tributes ranging from former US President Barack Obama to Oprah Winfrey and 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler. 
 
Boseman had been diagnosed in 2016, his family said, but had not publicly disclosed his illness. 
 
The VMA awards show on Sunday also ran clips of Boseman accepting an MTV Movie Award in 2018 for his role as king of the fictional African kingdom Wakanda in 'Black Panther,' and aired a black screen with the words 'Rest in Power.' 
The groundbreaking 2018 superhero movie, the first in the genre to feature a predominantly Black cast, jumped back into the top five on the Apple and Amazon movie charts on Sunday. 
 
ABC television changed its schedule on Sunday to air the 'Black Panther' film and hosted a tribute to the actor`s life and work. 
 
His family`s tweet announcing his death on the actor`s Twitter account became the most-liked posting ever on Twitter, the social media platform said on Saturday. It had 7.2 million likes by Sunday. 
 
Coogler described Boseman in a statement on Sunday as "an epic firework display" and said he had been unaware that Boseman was ill while filming 'Black Panther.' 
 
Boseman`s other screen credits included playing Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball`s color bar, and funk musician James Brown.
