Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” isn’t just a global pop anthem — it’s a cultural milestone that stirred conversation, challenged norms, and sparked creativity across New Zealand’s music, fashion, and art scenes. With its provocative visuals and European synth-pop influence, the music video made waves not only internationally, but also right here in Aotearoa.

Kiwis were quick to engage — from debates on RNZ and Stuff.co.nz about artistic expression and religion, to university media studies courses dissecting its symbolism. “Alejandro” resonated with young New Zealanders who admired Gaga’s fearless storytelling and boundary-pushing visuals. The music video also inspired local drag artists, choreographers, and visual directors across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, who saw in Gaga’s work a license to be bold and unapologetic.

At a time when New Zealand’s pop culture was finding its own voice, “Alejandro” became part of the conversation. Its influence is still felt in local performances, fashion, and even editorial photography seen in Kiwi magazines like Remix. Whether you're a Gaga fan or a creative Kiwi influenced by pop rebellion, this video remains a powerful symbol of self-expression.
