Celine Dion Disavows Donald Trump’s Use of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at Campaign Rally: ‘Really, That Song?’
After Donald Trump played a video of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' at a rally, the singer said it was unauthorized, adding, 'Really, that song?
Former President Donald Trump has a long history of using popular songs at his campaign rallies without authorization — by the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Linkin Park and even Celine Dion — many of which have seems to have titles or meanings that hardly seem to imply victory, like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” and, in today’s case in point, “My Heart Will Go On,” Celine Dion’s theme song from the 1997 film “Titanic,” in which thousands of people die on a sinking luxury liner. “Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., 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,” the statement reads. Trump has used many weirdly counterintuitive songs at his rallies, from Neil Young ’s cynical “Rockin’ in the Free World” to R.E.M.’s despondent “Losing My Religion” and Linkin Park’s “To the End.” While every once in a while a campaign song actually seems on-the-nose, like Queen’s “We Will Rock You” or Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down,” nearly every such use has met with disavowing statements like Dion’s or, in the case of the Rolling Stones, an actual lawsuit, although it is difficult to prevent such uses on legal grounds (Trump’s campaign usually backs down when faced with a lawsuit).
