Team Canada loves Celine Dion, and Celine Dion loves Team Canada back.
Dion has finally responded to a tweet from skier Mikael Kingsbury, who won gold in men’s moguls at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. In the tweet, Kingsbury shares a video of Team Canada athletes singing along to Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ on a bus.

Two days later, Dion responded.
“Hey @TeamCanada, I couldn’t be more proud of you,” she tweeted. “You should all get a medal for your singing skills!”

Whoever’s running Team Canada’s Twitter account had a great reply to Dion’s message: “Let us know if you ever need backup vocals, #TeamCanada has you covered.”
Let us know if you ever need backup vocals, #TeamCanada has you covered.

One clever Twitter user reminded folks that this isn’t the first time Dion’s showed Canadian mogul skiers some love. In 2006, she shot a video message for Jennifer Heil, who won gold in women’s moguls in Turin, Italy.
Ah. Celine and her special bond with moguls skiers. ????
