From the very beginning, Blue Ivy Carter has never just been a celebrity kid. She was born into music royalty, introduced to the world at the MTV VMAs, and practically managed her mom’s career before hitting 11. Now, at just thirteen, Blue Ivy isn’t just hiding in her parents’ shadow; she’s taking center stage. Literally.
Her most recent performances have come during Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour, which launched on April 28, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. While fans came for Queen Bey, many were also excited about seeing the “princess of pop”—Blue Ivy, who stormed the stage with poise, polish, and power that artists twice her age are still struggling to figure out. However, this was no surprise to those who have been following her.
From Baby Bump to Beyoncé’s Right-Hand Girl
Blue’s debut moment came before she could even walk. In 2011, Beyoncé rubbed her belly live at the MTV Video Music Awards after singing Love on Top, revealing to the world that Blue Ivy was on the way. The newborn child was dubbed the “most famous baby in the world” by TIME magazine mere days after her birth. After over ten years, she is truly living up to the title.
