This photo released by the Olympic Broadcasting Services shows Canadian Singer Celine Dion performing on the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, July 26. Olympic Broadcasting Service via AP Singer Celine Dion says the use of her song “My Heart Will Go On” at former president Donald Trump’s rallies is unauthorized and not endorsed, after the ballad was played at the Republican presidential candidate’s event in Montana last week. Sony Music Entertainment Canada “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,” her official X account posted Saturday.
“Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use,” it added. “..
.And really, THAT song?” The hit was the theme for the 1997 film “Titanic,” a blockbuster epic about the deadly sinking of the luxury ocean liner in 1912. The song’s association with the doomed ship triggered jokes about the former president’s campaign.
Marc Broklawski, whose X profile says he is a member of the Democratic Party of Virginia, tweeted that the song was perfect “because when your campaign’s headed for an iceberg, you might as well set it to music.” Trump’s campaign could not be immediately reached for comment late Saturday. Dion’s performance at the Olympic Games in Paris last month was her first since she said in 2022.
