LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Celine Dion had a humorous reaction to her classic hit, 'My Heart Will Go On', in a new video.

A frustrated Dion exclaimed, “No! Hello, No, no, no.”
She tried again, this time saying, “Hey Siri, can you play ‘Hymne a l'amour’ by Celine Dion please?” Yet, Siri repeated, “I cannot find that track by Celine Dion but here is ‘My Heart Will Go On.’”
Falling into laughter, Dion humorously responded, “Never mind!”
The star then asked Siri in a strong French accent to see if a different approach would work.
At last, Siri recognized the request and responded, “Okay, here is ‘Hymne a l'amour’ by Celine Dion.”
Holding her phone in disbelief, Dion gave a thumbs-up and smiled, reported Daily Mail.
Celine Dion’s return to the stage after health challenges
Celine Dion performed Edith Piaf's 'Hymne a l'amour' at the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony in July.
This marked her first live performance since revealing her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
Following her emotional return, Dion released the official live version of the song in October.
Her Paris performance, set against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, was a powerful moment for fans who had awaited her return to the stage.
