BOZEMAN, Mont. — Singing sensation Celine Dion's official Instagram account made a post Saturday afternoon taking former President Donald Trump and his campaign team to task for using one of her songs without prior consent.
"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," the post reads.
"In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use."
At the bottom of the text-based image, as well as in the text post next to it, the team adds, "...And really, THAT song?"
The song was reportedly played during the Trump campaign's rally in Bozeman, Montana for a Friday night rally intended to drum up support for ousting the state’s Democratic senator, but the former president’s plane first had to divert to an airport on the other side of the Rocky Mountains because of a mechanical issue, according to airport staff.
The former president came to Montana hoping to remedy some unfinished business from 2018, when he campaigned repeatedly in Big Sky Country in a failed bid to oust incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester. On Friday, Trump ripped into the three-term senator, mocking him for being overweight and for insinuating he sometimes sided with the former president.
"My Heart Will Go On" is the Dion-performed single from the smash 1997 film "Titanic." According to The Independent, Dion refused an invitation to perform at Trump's 2016 inauguration.
