Beyoncéâs Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlinâ Circuit Tour launched with a powerful, star-studded opening night in Los Angeles - but it was two very special guests who stole the show: her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter.
The global superstar, 42, kicked off the tour at SoFi Stadium on April 28 with a show full of showstopping moments, heartfelt tributes, and a moving celebration of motherhood and family.
Blue Ivy, now 13, returned to the stage in style, joining her mother during a high-energy performance of America Has a Problem.
Dancing front and centre, Blue wowed the crowd, many of whom erupted in cheers as she took command of the spotlight while Beyoncé looked on proudly.
Later in the show, Beyoncé introduced another touching moment - one that took many by surprise.
Seven-year-old Rumi Carter made her stage debut during Protector, a tender ballad that reflects a motherâs unconditional love.

As Beyoncé sang: âEven though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own, I will be your protector,â Rumi walked out to join her and her older sister under the spotlight.
The trio stood hand-in-hand, exchanging glances and smiles, which quickly went viral across social media.
The set ended with a touching video montage showing Beyoncé with her children, Blue Ivy, Rumi, and her son Sir, prompting another wave of teary reactions from the crowd.
Blue Ivy has previously performed with Beyoncé, first joining her onstage during the Renaissance World Tour in 2023, and later at the Beyoncé Bowl halftime show on Christmas Day 2024.
But Monday night was the first time Rumi stepped into the spotlight.
The Cowboy Carter tour spans 32 stadiums across nine U.S. and European cities, including four nights at Londonâs Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before wrapping up in Las Vegas on July 26.
Global superstars are âinspiring travel to concert destinations across the worldâ, according to eDreams Odigeo, which released the figures.
The most popular travel dates for London during that period are June 7 (up 49%), June 5 (up 48%) and June 10 (up 26%).
This compares searches made between February 3 â when the dates were announced â and February 12, with the same period last year.
The largest proportion of flight searches came from people in the US (25%).
