Celine Dion is melting hearts online after watching a fan sing her iconic Titanic ballad, "My Heart Will Go On." Taken aback and smiling, the singer’s joyful reaction has gone viral, racking up more than 17 million views. Fans can’t get enough of the touching moment, praising Dion’s emotional response and the fan’s heartfelt performance. The video shows just how much her timeless hit still resonates decades after its release.
On Friday, Feb. 20, Dion took to Instagram to share a video of a fan singing her hit song, "My Heart Will Go On." The song, of course, is one of the most iconic ballads ever—it’s the Titanic theme and remains hugely recognizable even now, decades after its initial release.
The woman that Dion is watching is Broadway star, Juliette Ojeda, who is known for her role as Sophie in the stage version of "Mamma Mia!"
More than 17 million people have viewed the video, making it go viral—and for good reason. Ojeda does an incredible rendition as she sings in her bathroom using a hairbrush as a microphone. This is something that Dion said she used to do before she could "afford" the microphone she carries "in her purse now."
At various parts of the video, Dion sang along with Ojeda, harmonizing with her and complimenting her vocals along the way. The iconic singer even included a personal message to Ojeda.
"Thank you for sharing your voice in such a pure and fearless way," Dion captioned the post. "Your light is inspiring and I’m cheering you on with all my heart. Never stop dreaming!"
Ojeda posted in the comments, "WHAATT," clearly shocked that Dion watched her sing. Ojeda also posted to her Instagram Stories barely able to find the words to describe what that felt like.
