- "And really, this song?" <unk> Celine Dion doesn't want Trump to use her music

Singer Céline Dion will not allow her music to be used by Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump for his campaign. The playing of the song "My Heart Will Go On" at a rally in the US state of Montana was in no way approved, the Canadian singer explained via her account on the platform X. Dion does not support this or a similar use. "And really, this song?", it was further stated with regard to the romantic song that was a global hit in the late 90s.

Céline Dion was unaware of Donald Trump's playlist

Her management and record label Sony Music Canada found out about the use of the song and video at Trump's rally in Montana on Friday evening, it was reported. At such campaign events, music is often played before the politicians' speeches to make the supporters' wait more bearable. However, there are also cases where musicians prohibit the use of their songs in a campaign.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, on the other hand, can use the music of US superstar Beyoncé for her campaign. Both in her first campaign ad and at campaign events, the song "Freedom" is played repeatedly.

Despite not personally approving it, the United States of America's singer Céline Dion's music was utilized in Republican candidate Donald Trump's campaign without her consent, specifically at a rally in Montana.

In contrast, the United States of America's Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is authorized to use Beyoncé's music, particularly the song "Freedom," for her campaign events and advertisements.
