Blue Ivy Carter is the best thing about Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour.
And that’s no shade to Bey who creates a Wiz-like world in her two-and-a-half hour show, performing music that spans her career and gives her fans a once in a lifetime experience that feels like the crown jewel to the superstar’s lengthy career. We all know the infectious impact “Renaissance” continues to have on the culture so I won’t get into that. We’re here to talk about the music industry’s second coming, Blue Ivy.
At just 11 years old, Blue made her stage debut early on during the Paris stop of the tour. It was a monumental moment for both Blue and the BeyHive, as she hit her counts as her mom performed “Power” and “Black Parade.”
It’s never been a secret that Blue was destined for greatness. I mean, look at her mama and daddy. We’ve gotten sneak peeks throughout the years of her talents through her freestyling on Jay Z’s “4:44,” singing on Bey’s “Homecoming” film or dancing at her school recitals. But what she’s done on this tour has us all feeling like proud aunties and uncles.
To see the young phenom’s ascension in just a few short months has felt like such a privilege. Not even because we’re seeing a celebrity couple’s child perform ― that feels surface-level and secondary ― but moreso because we’re seeing a little Black girl grow into her confidence and inspire other little Black girls (and grown ones) along the way.
