Celine Dion Speaks Out Against Unauthorized Use of Her Song at Trump Rally
Celine Dion's management team has issued a statement expressing the singer's disapproval of the unauthorized use of her iconic song "My Heart Will Go On" at a recent Donald Trump rally in Montana. The statement revealed that Dion's team was surprised to discover that a clip of the "Titanic" theme was played during the event, where Trump was joined by his running mate, J.D. Vance.
According to the statement, Dion's team did not grant permission for her song to be used, and she does not endorse any political candidates. The statement emphasized that Dion's music is not to be used in any political context without her explicit consent. The team's statement concluded with a pointed question directed at Trump, asking why he chose to use this particular song at the rally.
This choice has raised eyebrows, as it deviates from the more conventional tracks typically played at political events. Trump is known for his eclectic music choices at rallies, often mixing in unconventional songs with more traditional selections. However, Dion's music was the only one reportedly accompanied by a video, making its use stand out.
In contrast, the Harris/Walz campaign is reportedly avoiding Hollywood associations at the Democratic National Convention to prevent perceptions of the event as a "liberal Hollywood gathering." While celebrity appearances might still occur, they are expected to be more subdued.
Dion's team has made it clear that any use of her music in political contexts should not be interpreted as an endorsement, reflecting her decision to remain neutral in the political sphere. The statement serves as a reminder to political campaigns to seek permission before using copyrighted material, especially from artists who wish to maintain a neutral stance.
