In 2002, Pink won the MTV Best Female Video Award for “Get the Party Started.”
The award was presented at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, held on August 29 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Pink’s video competed against releases by Ashanti, Michelle Branch, Shakira, and Britney Spears.
“Get the Party Started” was released in 2001 as the lead single from Pink’s second studio album, Missundaztood. Written and produced by Linda Perry, the song marked a major shift toward a polished pop-rock sound and became one of Pink’s defining early hits.
A common mix-up is confusing this award with the MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video, for which the video was also nominated. It won Best Female Video and Best Dance Video in 2002.
