Blue Ivy Carter is back—and she owned the stage at the Cowboy Carter Tour kickoff in Los Angeles on April 28. The tour will have over 30 events and it will run through mid-summer.
Now 13, Beyoncé’s eldest daughter stole the spotlight during “Déjà Vu,” strutting solo down the SoFi Stadium catwalk with superstar confidence and nailing the choreography in front of thousands.
Blue Ivy had previously danced during the Renaissance World Tour as well as with her mother at the "Beyoncé Bowl" on Christmas Day. Her comfort on stage has clearly continued to grow.
No stranger to the spotlight, she's appeared in music videos for both her mom and her dad, rapper Jay-Z, as well as making her voice acting debut earlier this year as Princess Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King.
Fans online and in-person went wild for Blue Ivy’s performance at the tour kickoff, cheering on her evolution from backup dancer to full performer.
Blue Ivy took the stage again for “America Has a Problem” and later appeared during the heartfelt ballad “Protector,” this time joined by her younger sister, 7-year-old Rumi Carter, who made her concert debut.
The emotional moment ended in a family hug that quickly went viral as well.
People were in love with Blue Ivy from the get-go.
Folks loved the mother-daughter legacy on display.
A lot of folks shared photo comparisons of Blue Ivy and her mother.
Some people joked that Blue Ivy can just take it from here.
The resemblance was almost uncanny.
Who better to do that type of impersonation?
Folks found unique ways to express how much they are looking forward to Blue Ivy’s career.
The album Cowboy Carter released in March 2024 with several collaborations with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson.
If you want to catch Blue Ivy strut her stuff in person, the Cowboy Carter Tour heads next to Chicago, followed by stops over the summer in New Jersey, London, Paris, Houston, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta.
