"In no way is this use authorized, and ClineDion does not endorse this or any similar use," it added. "And really, THAT song?"

The song and its music videowere played at Trump's rally in Bozeman, Mont., on Friday on the big screen near the stage.Trump,the current Republican presidential candidate, was in Bozeman to support a Republican candidate for Senate.

In recent years, a number of musicians and bands including CanadiansNeil Young and Nickelbackhave voiced opposition to their music being used by Trump.

My Heart Will Go On helpedpropel Dion to super stardom as it was used in the 1997 Oscar-winning blockbluster film Titanic.
