We will never let go! Celine Dion performed “My Heart Will Go On” at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, May 21, in honor of the Titanic theme song’s 20th anniversary — and, yes, we are still crying like it’s 1997.
The Canadian-born superstar, 49, took the stage at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena to belt out her signature song. Dion began her powerful number from behind a larger-than-life crystal chandelier. As the music progressed, the gigantic lighting fixture ascended to reveal the Grammy winner looking more gorgeous than ever in a white floor-length gown with over-the-top puffy sleeves.
