A lighthearted moment from Arsenal’s new series “The Link-Up” has gone viral after Bukayo Saka admitted he had no idea who Celine Dion is—leaving Grammy-winning singer Tems visibly stunned.
Bukayo Saka stuns Tems with Celine Dion confession, "I don't know who that is"
The exchange occurred at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios when Saka asked Tems about her childhood musical idols. Without hesitation, the Nigerian songstress named the Canadian legend as her “first love” in music.
With a completely blank expression, the Arsenal forward responded, “I don’t know who that is”. Tems’ jaw-dropped reaction—complete with bewildered “Ahh Ahhh” exclamations—captured the moment she struggled to process how anyone could miss the five-time Grammy winner behind “My Heart Will Go On”.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions. Some fans joked about feeling “fossilised” by the generational gap, while others defended the 24-year-old Saka, noting he was born long after Dion’s commercial peak.
One user humorously suggested Tems might have meant “Celine Dion” by Nigerian artist Zinoleesky.
Despite the musical blind spot, Saka remains focused on the pitch—recently scoring the winning goal against Brighton to extend Arsenal’s Premier League lead.
