DEVASTATING: Celine Dion calls out – and mocks – Trump for using her Titanic song at rally.
Really, THAT song?’ Canadian singer’s team said on her behalf.
Shortly before the presidential candidate appeared on stage in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday (9 August), Republicans watched on as a clip of Dion singing her 1997 track.
“My Heart Will Go On” was played on a large screen.The management team and record label of Dion, who recently performed at the Olympics opening ceremony that Trump went on to criticise, have now shared a statement on behalf of the singer, revealing that – as was predicted – the usage of the song was “in no way” authorised.
The post, which appeared on Dion’s social media pages the following day, 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.”The statement then lampooned the campaign’s decision to use a song from a film about a sinking ship, adding: “… And really, THAT song?”The decision to use the song was widely mocked on social media after clips from the rally surfaced.
Many highlighted the irony of its usage days after Kamala Harris appeared to be pulling ahead of Trump in presidential election polling for the first time.In a recent survey, the Democrat took a three-point lead over Trump in a new survey.

Now, the former president is being mocked for the song’s use. (X/Twitter)“Wait, did Celine Dion give Trump permission to use her Titanic song? It is rather fitting since his campaign is sinking,” one person wrote on X/Twitter, with another stating: “This is so on the nose to what’s happening with his campaign, the cognitive dissonance is astounding.”
One person added: “I can’t help but laugh. It perfectly fits the analogy that the Trump campaign is a sinking ship.”
