During a recent campaign rally, the team behind Donald Trump and J. D. Vance used a famous Celine Dion song, sparking controversy. The use of “My Heart Will Go On,” famous for its use in the Titanic movie, was unauthorized, and Celine Dion’s team has responded.
Donald Trump & J.D. Vance’s campaign used ‘My Heart Will Go On’
At a recent rally in Bozeman, Montana, Donald Trump’s campaign used Celine Dion’s famous track “My Heart Will Go On” from the 1997 movie Titanic to entertain the crowd before he took the stage. The song played on a big screen as supporters gathered to hear Trump, who took the opportunity to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris for her lack of public appearances and interviews since President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign.
How has Celine Dion reacted to Trump’s use of the Titanic song?
Celine Dion’s team quickly spoke out against the use of her song at the rally. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), her management made it clear that the Trump campaign did not have permission to use the song or video. The statement read, “In no way is this use authorized and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use…And really, THAT song?”
The use of “My Heart Will Go On” at Trump’s rally sparked considerable online discussion, with many pointing out the irony of using a theme song from a film about a catastrophic disaster. Some speculated that the use of this song could symbolize the challenges facing Trump’s campaign. Meanwhile, others humorously suggested a pro-Kamala Harris mole within the Trump’s campaign.
Trump has previously faced criticism for using music at his events without the artists’ consent. Musicians like Rihanna and Axl Rose have all objected to their work being played at his rallies.
