Leave my music out of it — Celine Dion warns Trump

Canadian icon, Celine Dion has slammed former U.S president Donald Trump for using her song to promote his 2024 presidential campaign.

Celine Dion is raising her voice—not in song, but in protest—after discovering that her iconic hit “My Heart Will Go On” was played at a recent Donald Trump rally without her permission.

In an unexpected twist, the “Titanic” theme, famous for its emotional depth, found itself in the middle of a political storm as it blared through speakers at a Montana event where Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, addressed their supporters.

Dion’s management quickly responded, issuing a statement that not only denied any authorization for the song’s use but also expressed confusion over Trump’s choice.

The statement, laced with a hint of sarcasm, questioned the former president’s reasoning behind selecting such a poignant ballad for a rally setting—a far cry from the typical patriotic anthems and classic rock tracks usually favored at these events.

Trump’s unpredictable playlist, which reportedly included everything from Disney’s “The Lion King” to Dion’s soulful serenade, has once again stirred controversy, adding fuel to the ongoing debate about the ethical use of artists’ work in political campaigns.

Meanwhile, the Democratic camp is taking a different approach, with the Harris/Walz campaign opting to downplay celebrity involvement at the upcoming convention, wary of being seen as too closely tied to Hollywood. In contrast, Dion’s team has made it clear that her music should not be seen as a political endorsement, reflecting the singer’s desire to remain apolitical.

As the song says, “Near, far, wherever you are,” Celine Dion’s message to Trump is clear: Leave her music out of the political arena.
