" Express Yourself" released the same year was critically appreciated for its positive feminist themes. It faced strong reaction from religious groups and media. In 1989, the video of " Like a Prayer" portrayed her dancing in front of burning crosses, receiving stigmata, kissing a black saint and having sex with him in a church altar. " La Isla Bonita" and " Who's That Girl", both released in 1987, showed Madonna's fascination with Hispanic culture and religious symbolism.

With the title track from her third studio album True Blue (1986), Madonna's impact on MTV and popular music was established when a contest entitled Making My Video, was held to create a music video for the song. Her early videos were released commercially on Madonna (1984), which became the best-selling videocassette of 1985. Her first video to receive attention on MTV was " Borderline", followed by " Lucky Star" and " Like a Virgin", which popularized Madonna's image and fashion among younger generation. Madonna's first video, " Everybody" (1982), was a low-budget work. In 2003, MTV named her "The Greatest Music Video Star Ever", saying "Madonna's innovation, creativity and contribution to the music video art form is what won her the award." In 2020, Billboard ranked her at the top of their list "100 Greatest Music Video Artists of All Time". Madonna has won 20 MTV Video Music Awards, including the 1986 Video Vanguard Award for which she became the first female honoree. Allen Metz and Carol Benson, authors of the book The Madonna Companion, explained that more than any other pop star, Madonna had used MTV and music videos to establish her popularity and to enhance her recorded work.
