Trump faces sinking ship jokes as Celine Dion jabs him for playing ‘Titanic’ song at rally
- The singer’s record label says the use of the tune and video by the US presidential candidate was ‘in no way’ authorised
Celine Dion took a jab at Donald Trump on Saturday for using at an election rally the song she wrote and sang for the disaster movie Titanic, about the ocean liner’s sinking.
The Republican US presidential candidate has been lampooned on social media after playing the 1997 track “My Heart Will Go On” at a rally in the US state of Montana on Friday, as a video of Dion performing the song was shown on a big screen.
Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada, said in a statement on X the use of the song and video was “in no way” authorised.
“Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use... And really, THAT song?” it added.
Users on social media have made analogies between Trump’s campaign and the sinking ship at the heart of the James Cameron film.
Trump has appeared on the back foot since Kamala Harris replaced US President Joe Biden in the US election race for the White House.
