‘And really, THAT song?’
Celine Dion has sent a brutal warning to Donald Trump after he used one of her biggest songs during his presidential election campaign.
The former president, who is running against Kamala Harris in November’s election, usually plays a big song as he walks out on stage at his rallies, which often gives him the opportunity to show off his unique dance moves.
But because of his political views and controversial rhetoric, he’s struggled at times to get permission from singers and bands to use their songs.
A number of artists have refused to let the Republican use their music, and the latest to do so is Celine Dion.
Last Friday (August 9), Trump played the Canadian songstress’ hit song ‘My Heart Will Go On’ as he greeted supporters at a rally in Montana.
The song is known to millions as being on the soundtrack for 1997 film Titanic.
But it seems Trump never asked Dion if he could use the track, and this didn’t go down too well with the singer.
In a statement shared on Dion’s social media pages the day after the rally read: “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.
The statement then added: “….and really, THAT song?”
People couldn’t get enough of the brutal sign-off on the statement, with one person writing: “The ‘and really, THAT song?’ made me full-on snort laugh!”
Another said: “Absolutely iconic. Drag them, Celine, drag them to the cleaners and back.”
“Celine Dion smacking down MAGA is just amazing,” a third commented.
Someone else said: “‘…and really, THAT song?’ is sending me into orbit!”
Dion made a triumphant return to performing last month when she closed out the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics with an incredible rendition of Edith Piaf’s ‘L’Hymne A L’Amour’ from the Eiffel Tower.
It was the first time the Canadian had performed in public since announcing her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome.
