Celine Dion is speaking out against former President Donald Trump’s use of her famous song “My Heart Will Go On” at a recent rally, stating that her team did not authorize its use and expressing bewilderment at the song’s selection.
Dion’s management revealed that they learned Trump’s campaign played a clip of the “Titanic” theme during a rally in Montana, where Trump was accompanied by his running mate, J.D. Vance.
The statement underscored that Dion had not given permission for her song to be used and clarified that she does not support any political candidates.
The statement concluded with a pointed question to Trump, asking why he selected this particular song for the rally, noting that the choice was unusual for a political event.
Trump is known for his diverse music choices at rallies, often featuring unconventional tracks alongside traditional ones.
Observers noted that his playlist also included songs from “The Lion King” and other varied selections, but Dion’s song was the only one reportedly accompanied by a video.
In contrast, the Harris/Walz campaign is reportedly avoiding Hollywood associations at the Democratic National Convention to prevent the event from being perceived as a “liberal Hollywood gathering.” While celebrity appearances may still occur, they are expected to be more understated.
Dion’s team emphasized that any use of her music in a political context should not be seen as an endorsement, reflecting her intention to remain uninvolved in political matters.
