Donald Trump’s campaign has been hit with yet another artist not wanting their music being used by the candidate. This time, Celine Dion’s management and record label called out the GOP presidential nominee’s campaign for its “unauthorized usage” of “My Heart Will Go On,” one of her signature hits from 1997’s Titanic.
On Friday, Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Bozeman, Montana featured a video of Dion performing the theme song for the film.
“And really, THAT song?” a statement shared on Dion’s social media reads. The 1997 song from the blockbuster film Titanic discusses love persevering after tragic circumstances: The film features the story of star-crossed lovers Rose and Jack, who fall for one another under forbidden circumstances and meet a heartbreaking end.
In the statement on Saturday, Dion’s management team and label said their client’s song and visuals were not used with permission. “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. “In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.”
