Beyoncé’s youngest daughter — who made her album debut on her mom’s Cowboy Carter track “Protector” — took to the stage during the song with her mom and big sister Blue Ivy, 13, on the opening night of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Los Angeles.

Since making her onstage debut, she has performed with her mother at several different shows, including her mom’s NFL Christmas halftime show, which aired on Netflix.
Blue Ivy was also present when Beyoncé won album of the year at the 2025 Grammy Awards. During her speech, she noted that "it's been 25 years of just working really hard and trying my best to keep growing and keep opening up doors," and said that she was "very honored" and "happy" that her older daughter was able to see her win.

Beyoncé previously opened up about touring with her family in an interview with GQ in October 2024, saying that despite embarking on new business ventures, she's had to carve out time for her family.
"One thing I've worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn't turned into a brand," Beyoncé shared. "It's very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art."
"I try to only tour when my kids are out of school," she added. "I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture and lifestyles."
