Donald Trump is facing criticism for his choice of song at a recent rally in Montana. Before Trump took the stage in Bozeman, Montana, a clip of Celine Dion singing her 1997 hit “My Heart Will Go On” from the movie Titanic was played for his supporters. The irony of using a song from a film about a sinking ship has not been lost on many, especially as Trump’s campaign appears to be falling behind in the polls.
It is unclear whether Trump obtained permission from Dion to use the song, but this is not the first time his campaign has used music without proper authorization. In the past, artists like Tom Petty and Neil Young have spoken out against the use of their songs at Trump rallies.
The decision to use “My Heart Will Go On” has sparked a wave of mockery on social media, with many drawing parallels between the sinking ship in Titanic and the state of Trump’s campaign. Some have even suggested that the song is a fitting analogy for the current situation.
This incident is just the latest in a series of controversies surrounding the use of music at Trump’s rallies. From The Smiths to Tom Petty, artists have consistently objected to their songs being used in connection with a campaign that they believe stands for values they do not support.
As the presidential election approaches, it remains to be seen how Trump’s use of music will continue to play a role in his campaign. Whether intentional or not, the choice of “My Heart Will Go On” has certainly captured the attention of both supporters and critics alike.
