A song by Celine Dion is played at a campaign event by the US Republicans. Does this indicate that the singer supports Donald Trump? The Canadian defends herself.
Singer Céline Dion does not want her music to be used by Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump for his election campaign. The Canadian singer explained via her account on the X platform that the playing of the song “My heart will go on” at a rally in the US state of Montana was in no way authorized. Dion does not support this or any similar use. “And really, this song?” she continued, referring to the romantic song that was a global hit in the late 90s.
Céline Dion knew nothing about Donald Trump’s playlist
Her management and her record company, Sony Music Canada, learned of the use of the song and video at Trump’s rally in Montana on Friday evening, it was said. At such campaign events, music is often played before politicians’ appearances to make it easier for the candidates’ supporters to wait for the speakers. There are also repeated cases in which musicians forbid an election campaign from using their songs.
The Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, on the other hand, can rely on the music of US superstar Beyoncé for her election campaign. Her song “Freedom” is played repeatedly both in her first campaign ad and at campaign events.
