Céline Dion’s management team and record label, Sony Music Canada, said the use of her world-renowned hit “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Montana on Friday was “unauthorized.”
A video of Dion performing the 1997 song was broadcast at the Trump and JD Vance rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday night. In a statement on
“In no way is this use authorized and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use,” the statement read. “… And seriously, THIS song?”
The powerful ballad was the theme song for the 1997 hit film “Titanic”, a love story set against the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic.
Dion is not the first artist to reject the Trump campaign’s use of her music.
After the Trump campaign used “Start Me Up” at a rally in 2016, the Rolling Stones released a statement saying they never gave permission to do so and requested that they “cease all use immediately.”
Rihanna did the same in 2018 after “Don’t Stop the Music” was played at another rally.
“Neither I nor my people will ever be at or near one of these tragic rallies,” the musician said at the time.
The list goes on, with Neil Young, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Everlast (former lead singer of House of Pain) and British singer Adele also criticizing Trump for using his songs at rallies over the years.
