The album showcased the romantic power ballads that Dion had become known for, including “When I Fall in Love” (featured on the soundtrack for the hit film Sleepless in Seattle), “The Power of Love,” and “Because You Loved Me” (from the soundtrack to Robert Redford’s sentimental Up Close and Personal).

In 1994, Dion happily merged her personal and professional life when she and Angelil were married. Angelil, 26 years her senior, had divorced his second wife during the 1980s, and he and Dion had begun a romantic relationship shortly after she had turned 19. Engaged in 1991, the couple tied the knot at Montreal’s Notre Dame Basilica, in an elaborate ceremony that was celebrated throughout Canada.

Dion’s international stardom was solidified by her performance of “The Power of the Dream,” at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. That same year, Dion’s Falling Into You won Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Album. The next year, however, would hold even greater glory for Dion with the release of the blockbuster film Titanic, costarring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, for which Dion sang the theme song, “My Heart Will Go On.” By the time the film raked in a record number of Oscar nominations (it won 11, including Best Song), Dion’s ballad had become ubiquitous on radio stations around the world. Included on both the Titanic soundtrack album and Dion’s own Let’s Talk About Love, “My Heart Will Go On” propelled both to the No. 1 and No. 2 slots on Billboard’s album charts and a combined 50 million records sold worldwide. Let’s Talk About Love also featured collaborations with the likes of Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, the Bee Gees, and Bryan Adams.

Dion received the National Order of Quebec, her province’s highest honor, in April 1998. Later that year, she appeared alongside Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, and Shania Twain on the high-profile televised concert Divas Live (1998) on VH-1. While touring relentlessly and recording several albums (including S’il Suffisait d'Aimer and a holiday album, These Are Special Times), Dion was well rewarded at the Billboard Music Awards in late 1998, where she won six awards including Album Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for Let’s Talk About Love. Her extensive 14-country tour, which had begun in the summer of 1998, culminated in a gala concert in Montreal on December 31, 1999, in honor of the new millennium. In the first months of 2000, Dion announced that she was taking time off from her career in order to focus on her family. She and Angelil had been trying to have children for years, and eventually decided to use in vitro fertilization to conceive. In May 2000, Dion underwent two small operations at a fertility clinic in New York in order to improve her chances of becoming pregnant.
