In 2024, Celine Dion‘s team reacted to her song “My Heart Will Go On,” the Titanic theme song, being played at a Trump campaign rally, noting she did not give permission and the use was unauthorized.
In a statement on her Instagram page, her team wrote, “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.…And really, THAT song?”
