From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video is one of the original general awards that has been handed out every year since the first annual
MTV Video Music Awards in 1984.
In 2007, however, the award was briefly renamed Female Artist of the Year , and it awarded the artist's whole body of work for that year rather than a specific video. In 2008, though, the award returned to its original name and was once again awarded for a specific video.
The category would become defunct beginning with the
2017 ceremony after the gender specific categories would be merged into the Artist of the Year category.
Madonna ,
Taylor Swift and
Beyoncé are the biggest winners with three wins each, while the former also holds the record for most nominations with 12. Meanwhile, Beyoncé,
Kelly Clarkson and
Lady Gaga are the only artists to win the award for two consecutive years.
