Celine Dion‘s saying Donald Trump using her songs will not go on … putting out a statement saying she didn’t authorize Trump to use “My Heart Will Go On,” — and questioning his song selection.
The singer-songwriter’s management company put out a statement just minutes ago … saying they found out DJT and his running mate J.D. Vance played a clip of Celine singing the “Titanic” theme at their Montana rally.
They’re making it clear … Celine didn’t give them permission to play it, and she’s not endorsing political candidates to use her song.
The statement ends with a question to the candidate … with the group questioning why Trump would use this specific song.
It’s a pretty strange choice to be fair … and, the addition of the video seems to make even less sense — but, Trump’s known for making some pretty eclectic choices with his pre-speech playlist.
People on social media noted he played a track from “The Lion King” as well as other more conventional picks … but, he only had Celine on video as far as we know.
While Trump’s tossing in a celeb cameo — albeit, a nonconsensual one — in his rally … Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are staying away from Hollywood.
We broke the story, the Harris/Walz campaign’s keeping its distance from celebs for the DNC … trying to avoid claims the event’s a “liberal Hollywood event.” That doesn’t mean no celebrity cameos — just less, according to our sources.
So the Dems are avoiding celebs … and, Donald Trump better avoid Celine — ’cause it sounds like she’s not messing around.
We’ve reached out to Celine’s team for more clarification of her statement … so far, no word back.
