Celine Dion has mocked Donald Trump for playing the Titanic theme song at a campaign rally without her permission.
Her voice could be heard wailing the 1998 classic ‘My Heart Will Go On’ over the speakers in Bozeman, Montana, shortly before Trump took the stage on Friday.
Dion on Saturday made it clear that the use of ‘video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion’ was unauthorized.’In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use,’ she said in a statement along with her record label, Sony.
Dion then mocked Trump’s choice, adding, ‘…And really, THAT song?’
The epic ballad that conjures images of a doomed ship striking a massive iceberg, which is not the best comparison to a presidential campaign.
Even worse, it was played just hours after Trump’s plane was forced to divert to Billings while en route to Bozeman over a ‘mechanical issue.’Some political pundits on social media felt the song was a metaphor for the Trump campaign’s flagging momentum, which comes just weeks after a victory in November felt all but assured.
One even suggested there could be a ‘pro-Kamala Harris’ mole secretly working to undermine Trump’s re-election.
“One person said: ‘Omg, Trump’s rally in Montana is showing a video of Celine singing “My Heart Will Go On” from the film Titanic. Is the rally coordinator trolling Trump?’Seems to me it’s a cry for help from a sinking ship. Has anyone checked on his campaign managers, are they being held hostage or maybe water boarded,’ said another.
Many people noted the irony in the theme song for a movie about a disaster being played at the event.
‘Trump is saying he is going down like the Titanic,’ said one person. ‘The irony is not lost,’ said another.
‘How fitting because the Trump campaign right now is just like the titanic. Everyone’s in the bar drinking telling themselves the ship is not sinking,’ a third person said.
