A video clip of Dion performing the theme song from the 1997 movie “Titanic” was shown Friday night at a rally in Boseman, Montana, and has also been played at several previous Trump rallies. According to the statement, her management team and record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada, “became aware” Saturday “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.” Representatives emphasized that in “no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.” Musicians requesting that Trump not to play their music at his rallies is not a new issue. During his first presidential run in 2016, the Rolling Stones, Adele, Neil Young and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler all asked that Trump halt playing their music on the campaign trail, as did R.E.M. in 2020. To be in compliance with copyright law, political campaigns must receive a public performance license from organizations like Broadcast Music Inc. or the ********* Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Songwriters and record labels typically sign blanket licensing agreements giving sports arenas and other venues the right to play their music. The 56-year-old Dion gave a surprise performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics two weeks ago, her first since 2020. She revealed in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome. Kate Gibson and Reena Flores contributed to this report.
