Recently, Celine Dion’s management took to social profiles to clarify that the Canadian musical superstar did not authorise her hit record, ‘My Heart Will Go On’. This past Friday in Bozeman, Montana, the former American President played a clip of the song with a video to his overzealous, die-hard supporters.
According to BBC, other artists and bands like Neil Young, Queen and the Rolling Stones complained about Trump using their songs at campaign rallies. The article also points out that it isn’t illegal for license holders to use the music. However, artists can fight against it, remove their music from that list, and state they aren’t on board with what’s happening. The message shared with her 8.4 million followers on Instagram and 1 million followers on X, formerly Twitter, reads:
“Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorised 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.
In no way is this use authorised, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
…And really, that song?”
The song ‘My Heart Will Go On’ from her 1997 album ‘Let’s Talk About Love’ is the track in discussion. It is famously connected to the movie, ‘Titanic’, about the unfortunate sinking of a British ocean liner — Royal Mail Ship Titanic — from Southampton, England, to New York City in 1912. At least 1,496 out of an estimated 2,224 persons perished on April 15, 1912.
