Celine Dion calls out Trump campaign for ‘unauthorized’ use of her music, makes fun of song choice

BOZEMAN, Montana – Singer Celine Dion rebuked former President Donald Trump’s campaign for “unauthorized usage” of her music during a rally in Montana on Friday.

Her management team released a statement on social media platform X on Saturday after Trump played “My Heart Will Go On” at his rally in Bozeman, Montana, the day prior.

“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,” the statement said.

“In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. …And really, THAT song?” the statement posted online said.

The family of singer and songwriter Isaac Hayes is threatening to sue Trump over his use of the track “Hold On, I’m Comin’” at rallies.

Hayes’ son, Isaac Hayes III, shared a copy of a copyright infringement notice, filed by lawyer James Walker and issued to Trump, demanding his campaign pay $3 million in licensing fees, according to USA Today. “Hold On, I’m Comin’” was performed by soul duo Sam & Dave and written by Hayes and David Porter.
