Céline Dion criticizes Donald Trump for unauthorized use of ‘Titanic’ classic


Donald Trump and his campaign team have once again faced backlash for their unauthorized use of a song, this time targeting Céline Dion’s iconic hit ‘My Heart Will Go On’ during a presidential campaign rally in Montana. Dion’s management team released a statement emphasizing that the use of her song was not authorized and she does not endorse its use for political purposes.

This incident adds to a long list of artists who have objected to Trump using their music without permission for his campaign events. From Creedence Clearwater Revival to Rihanna, many artists have called out Trump for misusing their songs. Even Leonard Cohen’s estate criticized Trump for using ‘Hallelujah’ at the Republican National Convention without permission.

Despite the legal leeway that US politicians have when using music for rallies, artists have the right to remove their songs from the licensing packages that campaigns purchase. This ongoing issue has led recording artists to express frustration and despair over the lack of control they have when it comes to the use of their music for political purposes.

In the case of Céline Dion, her statement condemning Trump’s use of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ highlights the disconnect between the President and cultural touchstones. With Trump’s campaign facing criticism for continually misusing artists’ music, it raises questions about the ethical implications and the need for respect towards artists’ creative work.
