The “Cowboy Carter Tour” was a family affair!
Beyoncรฉ’s two daughters, Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7, joined her onstage as she performed โProtectorโ on the opening night of her โCowboy Carter Tour.โ
โProtector,โ a song about motherhood from the album “Cowboy Carter,” is the only Beyoncรฉ song that Rumi appears on, whereas Blue Ivy has sung on multiple. The song opens with Rumi saying, โMom, can I hear the lullaby please?โ So, it was only fitting that Beyoncรฉ would bring her daughter on stage when she performed โProtectorโ live.
In a fan video shared on social media of the moment, Beyoncรฉ sings directly to Rumi, who is smiling from ear-to-ear on stage. At another point, Beyoncรฉ holds Rumi in front of her and Rumi waves frantically to the crowd. Blue Ivy dances behind them, then joins them at the end of the song.
Rumi appears to be so taken with the moment that she turns around and gives her mom a big hug, which makes Beyoncรฉ smile and stop singing.
The lights at the stadium then dip to black as a quote from the Persian poet Rumi appears on the stageโs monitor. It says, โI once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know you, all else melted away.โ
Fans adored the moment between Beyoncรฉ and her girls, writing supportive comments on Instagram.
“Omg this is so freakin cute,” one fan said.
“Oh Iโm gonna be a mess next week,” another wrote.
A third added, “Wasnโt ready for this.”
Beyoncรฉ shares Rumi, Blue Ivy and her 7-year-old son, Sir, with her husband, Jay-Z.
On the opening night of her โCowboy Carter Tour,” which took place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Beyoncรฉ brought Blue Ivy out a number of times. The teen showcased her dancing skills in her mother’s songs, “Protector,” โAmerica Has A Problemโ and โDeja Vu.”
This wasn’t the first time that Blue Ivy has danced next to Beyoncรฉ on stage.
She also joined her mom on the “Renaissance World Tour,” which began in 2023. In the “Renaissance” concert film, Beyoncรฉ shared how Blue Ivy turned early criticism into motivation to improve.
Blue Ivy received a glowing praise from her mom’s best friend and former “Destiny’s Child” bandmate Kelly Rowland.
โIโm very proud,โ Rowland told E! Newsย of Blue Ivy. โShe works very freaking hard, period. But how could she not, you know? She sees her mother in action and she sees her father in action and how they apply everything, hard work to everything that they do.โ
