Celine Dion Rejects Trump Campaign’s Use of ‘My Heart Will Go On’

Celine Dion’s team has expressed their disapproval after a video of her performing “My Heart Will Go On” was played during a recent rally for former President Donald Trump in Montana.

Dion’s representatives and record label made it clear that they did not authorize the use of the iconic ballad and do not support its association with the Trump campaign.

The song, famously linked to the 1997 film “Titanic,” was played at the rally, drawing widespread criticism and irony due to its connection with a disaster. In a statement shared on Dion’s social media, her team said, “This usage was not authorized, and Celine does not endorse it in any form.”

The Trump campaign has a history of using music without permission, leading to objections from various artists. Over the years, musicians such as Rihanna, Axl Rose, and the estates of Prince and Tom Petty have all spoken out against their work being used at Trump’s events. In some cases, this has even led to legal threats.

The ongoing issue of unauthorized music use by political campaigns has sparked a broader discussion about intellectual property rights and the importance of artists controlling how their work is used in the public sphere. Dion’s team joins a growing list of artists who are taking a stand against what they see as the misuse of their art for political purposes.
