Trump rally plays Celine Dion's Titanic theme: Why song choice raised eyebrows

Former President Donald Trump’s rally in Montana on Friday has become the center of a wild conspiracy theory involving a supposed pro-Kamala Harris mole aiming to undermine Trump’s campaign. The controversy erupted after Celine Dion’s classic ballad “My Heart Will Go On” from the 1997 film Titanic was played at the event, immediately sparking speculation about a deliberate attempt to mock Trump’s campaign.

The theory suggests that a covert supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris orchestrated the inclusion of Dion’s song to draw a parallel between Trump’s campaign and the ill-fated Titanic. The song, which famously accompanies the movie’s depiction of a sinking ship, led some social media users to speculate that the choice was a subtle yet pointed act of sabotage.



One tweet on X/Twitter highlighted the theory: “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?” The irony of playing a song associated with a sinking ship fueled further speculation about internal sabotage.


Another comment drew a parallel between the campaign’s struggles and the Titanic, saying, “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?”

The theory gained traction as users compared the Trump campaign to the Titanic, with one tweet suggesting, “Bro, the Trump campaign keeps giving. These are real-life SNL skits. Who the f**k plays a song famously associated with a sinking ship at a rally for a campaign that is sinking?”


While the Trump team has not confirmed whether they had permission to use Dion’s song, the incident highlights the ongoing tension and playful conspiracy theories surrounding Trump’s campaign. The controversy follows recent criticism from French singer Woodkid, who condemned Trump for using his song “Run Boy Run” in a campaign video.
