Celine Dion's team has criticised former US President Donald Trump for the "unauthorised" use of a clip of one of her hits at a presidential campaign event. The song 'My Heart Will Go On' - which featured in a 1997 film about the doomed ship Titanic - was played to supporters before Trump appeared on stage at a rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday (9 August). In a statement released on X, Dion's team said she did not "endorse" the use of the song. Artists and bands including Neil Young, Queen and the Rolling Stones have previously complained about Trump using their songs at campaign rallies. The statement said, "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 Trump campaign has not responded to the statement.
'My Heart Will Go On' is one of five-time Grammy winner Dion's best-known songs.
