Celine Dion proves why she’s the queen with EPIC awards show performance

Orlaith Condon

We just have something in our eyes.

The Billboard Music Awards took place last night, and even with performances from Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran and Lorde, there is only one person everyone is talking about this morning – Celine Dion.

Yes, the woman behind some of the greatest ballads of all time took to the stage to perform undoubtedly one of her most beloved of hits.

Celebrating 20 years since the release of Titanic, Dion took centre stage – in a miraculous white gown shall we add – and performed My Heart Will Go On.

The emotional performance left all of those who watched sobbing, and many took to Twitter to share their feelings.

Hosts Ludacris and Vanessa Hudgens also took a moment to recover, with Vanessa taking her opportunity to scream at the star, “I love you Celine!”

After pulling herself together, the co-host even managed to snag a picture with Dion and shared it on Twitter, saying: “Dreams do come true.”


If you haven’t yet seen the full performance, you can watch it below. However, we warn you, side effects include uncontrollable tears, shortness of breath and severe feelings of inadequacy.

This was Dion’s first award show performance since her husband, René Angélil, died last year.
