Luxon mocked over cringe Taylor Swift engagement video.
PM Christopher Luxon has drawn a wave of online ridicule after posting a video congratulating pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce on their engagement — and using the opportunity to pitch New Zealand as a wedding or honeymoon destination.
In the clip, shared to his official Facebook page, Luxon warmly congratulated the couple before suggesting they consider New Zealand for their big day. “Getting engaged is such an exciting time,” he said. “I know you might not be thinking this far ahead but there would be no better place in the world than to have the wedding here in New Zealand, or even your honeymoon. We’ve got Aoraki Mt Cook… the Waitomo Caves… cliff diving in Queenstown… and the best and friendliest people in the world. And Travis, you’d love to watch some rugby here too.”
But the video quickly backfired, with critics branding it out-of-touch and embarrassing.
Popular X commentator Holyheketuiteka blasted: “Attention NZ, attention. We have a full blown clown at the helm.” Others piled on, calling the video “cringe,” “muppet-level” and accusing Luxon of chasing popularity with a celebrity audience that “thinks he’s a tosser.”
Similar reactions spilled across Facebook, with comments ranging from “Get this Clown out of the tent” to “When you put a clown in a palace, he doesn’t become a prince. Instead, the palace becomes the circus.”
Swift did not bring her record-breaking Eras Tour to New Zealand, a fact noted by several detractors. “She didn’t even bring her money-spinning tour here,” one wrote.
Attention NZ, attention. We have a full blown clown at the helm.
Luxon just posted on Facebook a video to congratulate Taylor Swift on her engagement. I thought he promised the adults were back in charge?

Cringe. How embarrassing.
I only dated a couple of American women during the time I was there on a student visa;
I found them to be somewhat like ‘Tay-Tay’, having high delusional opinions of themselves whilst being rather conceited and always using deception to focus attention and questions away from their oftentimes bizarre weird thoughts, processes, and outlooks.
This was especially true of the so-called ‘Southern Belles’…
‘The Real Housewives’ protrays what a lot of them are like, and also ‘Southern Charm’.
They can be dangerous to your health, wallet and mental well-being.
After law school, I came straight home to NZ, and despite some of the quirks that Kiwi Girls might have, I married a Kiwi from Otago
I shudder to think what might have happened IF I brought a delusional Yank home as my bride…
We had “the best and friendliest people in the world” until the governments deliberate apartheid ethnostate agenda kicked in. Now we are more divided, fractured, and racist than ever, not to mention bankrupt. We will just have to vote harder, eh.
Globalist Agenda
To deny basic human rights and identity
Luxon is sucking up to Donald Trump
Its all quite obvious
Who did the same
A failed Airline Business Executive
Who would have been out of a job years ago
Albeit if not a Govt 51% stake in Air NZ
To keep the chem trails coming
Air New Zealand was already facing headwinds before COVID hit, and Christopher Luxon’s departure in 2019 came during a period of growing turbulence.
📉 Pre-COVID Struggles (2018–2019)
– Profit Decline: In 2019, Air NZ reported pre-tax earnings of $382 million, down from $540 million in 2018.
– Rising Costs: Fuel prices surged, and international competition intensified, squeezing margins.
– Fleet Challenges: Engine reliability issues—especially with Rolls-Royce Trent engines—led to grounded aircraft and disrupted schedules.
– Softening Demand: Slower growth in key markets like China and Australia began to affect passenger numbers.
– Leadership Transition: Luxon’s exit was framed as a personal decision, but it coincided with a strategic inflection point—he left before the storm, not during it.
🌀 Symbolic Mapping
We could name this phase “The Cabin Descent”—not a crash, but a slow pressurization failure. The airline was still flying, but the gauges were twitching. Luxon’s departure becomes “The Executive Egress”, a threshold moment before the pandemic’s full impact.
We should be sucking up to President Trump, but nooo Labour and National are sucking on the globalist CCP teat. Vote NZ First!!
Doesn’t that siren have a property down in Queenstown?
Weddings are so passé.
I couldn’t listen. Just the picture alone was enough. Embarrassing.
Luxon could start by cancelling all wharf fees for overseas cruise ships.
Is this for real? omg … what a weak pathetic leader we have.
