Celine Dion has publicly criticized former President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator J.D. Vance for using her iconic song “My Heart Will Go On” during a rally in Montana without her permission. The Canadian singer took to Instagram on Saturday to express her disapproval, emphasizing that neither she nor her management team had authorized the use of her video performance, recording, or likeness at the political event.
Dion’s management team, along with Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., issued a strong statement condemning the unauthorized use of her work. They clarified that Dion does not endorse Trump, Vance, or any similar political activities involving her music.
Her statement also included a pointed remark, questioning the choice of the song for the rally: “…And really, THAT song?” This added a layer of disapproval, suggesting that the song, which is famously associated with the movie Titanic, was an inappropriate or ironic choice for the event.
Dion’s public denouncement highlights the ongoing issue of artists pushing back against the unauthorized use of their music in political campaigns.
