Donald Trump’s rally in Montana caused quite a stir on social media when Celine Dion’s iconic song ‘My Heart Will Go On’ was played before the presidential hopeful took the stage. The irony of using a song about a sinking ship was not lost on observers, with many taking to social media to express their opinions. Some even speculated about whether Trump’s team intentionally chose the song as a form of trolling.
Campaign Rights
The use of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at Trump’s rally raises questions about the campaign’s rights to use the song publicly. The rights to the song are owned by 20th Century Fox, and it is unclear whether proper permissions were obtained for its use at the rally. Reports indicate that this isn’t the first time the song has been used at a Trump event, with previous instances occurring during the final stretch of the presidential campaign and at other rallies.
In addition to the choice of music, Trump’s speech at the rally included some controversial moments. He made comments misgendering Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who had recently won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Trump also took aim at Democrat Senator John Tester, making mocking remarks about his weight. These comments added fuel to the fire of controversy surrounding the event.
This controversy is not an isolated incident. French musician Woodkid recently spoke out about Trump’s unauthorized use of his music in a campaign video. Woodkid, who identifies as part of the LGBT+ community, expressed frustration at his song ‘Run Boy Run’ being used without his permission. This is not the first time Woodkid has raised concerns about Trump using his music without authorization.
Overall, the use of Celine Dion’s song at Donald Trump’s rally has sparked a wave of criticism and controversy. From questions about the campaign’s rights to concerns about misgendering and unauthorized use of music, the event has drawn attention for all the wrong reasons. It remains to be seen how Trump’s team will address these issues and whether there will be any consequences for their actions.
