Declaring in a statement that she didn’t give Trump permission to use “My Heart Will Go On,” Celine Dion says Donald Trump’s use of her music will end. She also questions the choice of songs he chose. Just moments ago, the singer-songwriter’s management organization released a statement in which they revealed that DJT and his running partner, J.D. Vance, had shown a video of Celine performing the “Titanic” theme at their rally in Montana. They’re stating it quite clearly. Celine is not advocating for political candidates to utilize her song, nor did she grant them permission to play it.
The group asks the candidate a final question, wondering why Trump would choose to play this particular song. To be fair, it’s a somewhat odd selection, and adding the video appears to make even less sense, but Trump is notorious for selecting some extremely odd songs for his pre-speech playlist. Social media users pointed out that he included a song from “The Lion King” in addition to other well-known selections; however, as far as we know, he only included Celine on video. While Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are avoiding Hollywood, Trump is incorporating a non-consensual celebrity cameo into his rally.
