Celine Dion Warns Trump Campaign Over Unauthorized Use of ‘My Heart Will Go On,’ Threatens Legal Action
Global music icon Celine Dion has issued a stern warning to former President Donald Trump and his campaign team after discovering they have been using her hit song “My Heart Will Go On” at recent rallies without her permission. The legendary ballad, best known as the theme from *Titanic*, was reportedly played at multiple campaign events, sparking concern from Dion and her representatives.
In a statement released by her legal team, Dion made it clear that she does not endorse Trump or his political agenda. “Celine Dion’s music is created to inspire, uplift, and unite people, not to be exploited for political purposes that do not align with her values,” her spokesperson stated.
The statement goes on to say that if the Trump campaign continues to use her music without authorization, legal action will be pursued. “We will take all necessary steps, including filing a lawsuit, to protect Ms. Dion’s artistic integrity and prevent any further misuse of her music.”
This warning mirrors actions taken by other artists in recent years. Musicians such as The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Bruce Springsteen have all legally challenged Trump’s use of their songs at his events. Dion’s team emphasized that her warning should be taken seriously, as she has no intention of allowing her music to be associated with any political movement that she does not support.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to the warning from Dion’s legal team, but sources close to the campaign suggest that they are evaluating their options.
As the 2024 election season intensifies, this incident highlights the recurring friction between musicians and political campaigns over the unauthorized use of popular songs. Whether or not Trump’s team heeds the warning remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Celine Dion is ready to take a stand.
