Following Donald Trump's campaign rally in Montana on Friday, French Canadian singer Celine Dion denounced it on Saturday for playing her award-winning song from the Titanic soundtrack, "My Heart Will Go On."
The former president's visit to Montana marks his first rally in a week that has seen the Democratic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz make multiple campaign stops in swing states amid this year's election. It also follows Trump's press conference that he held at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Videos of the song being played at the former president's rally on Friday have made its way across X, formerly Twitter.
As supporters waited for Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, to speak at the rally, the crowd can be seen listening to "My Heart Will Go On," which brought Dion Grammy awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe, as a video of her performing the song was displayed on a big screen above the stage.
In a statement posted to X, Dion and her team acknowledged the use of her song at Trump's rally and denounced it.
"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. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use," Dion wrote."And really, THAT song?"
The song, written by composer James Horner, was created for the film adaptation Titanic, which follows the tragic love story of Jack and Rose on the Titanic, a British ocean liner that sank in 1912 as a result of striking an iceberg.
