Social media exploded last week when Celine Dion showed up at Lady Gaga’s new Enigma show in Las Vegas. Not only was the “My Heart Will Go On” songstress in the audience, but fans captured her on video dancing like no one was watching.
Later, Gaga posted a photo of her and Dion backstage on her Instagram.
“I would love to write a song for them,’ Diane Warren told Variety at the BAFTA LA Tea Party yesterday at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. “I’ve already written for both of them.”
She sure has. Warren wrote “Because You Loved Me” for Dion as the theme song for the 1996 film “Up Close and Personal” with Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. On the Gaga front, the two collaborated on “TiIl It Happens to You” for the 2017 documentary about sexual assault “The Hunting Ground” and most recently, “Why Did You Do That?,” a pop song that Ally sings in “A Star Is Born” that fans continue to debate if it was supposed to be a good tune or if it was purposely made to sound like a trashy dance hit.
“I’d love to hear a ballad version of ‘Why Did You Do That?’ sung by Celine Dion,” Warren told Variety.
