Celine Dion Criticizes Unauthorized Use of 'My Heart Will Go On' at Trump Rally.

Celine Dion's team has issued a strong rebuke against former President Donald Trump following the unauthorized use of her iconic song "My Heart Will Go On" at a recent campaign rally. The track, famously associated with the 1997 film Titanic, was played to supporters before Trump's appearance on stage at a rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday.

In a statement released on social media platform X, Dion’s management team, alongside her record label Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., expressed their disapproval of the song's use. The statement read: "Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing 'My Heart Will Go On' at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ...And really, that song?"

The Trump campaign has yet to respond to the criticism. The use of Dion's song at a political event follows a pattern where several artists have voiced their objections to the use of their music by political figures. Notable examples include Neil Young, Queen, and the Rolling Stones, who have previously complained about their songs being used at Trump rallies.

"My Heart Will Go On," a hallmark of Dion's career, gained worldwide fame as the theme song for Titanic, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The ballad won numerous awards, including an Oscar for Best Original Song and several Grammy Awards. Dion recently made headlines with her return to live performance at the Paris Olympics, marking her first performance since revealing her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological disorder.
