The Internet Is Begging Beyoncé to Let Her ‘Kids Be Kids’ After 13-Year-Old Daughter Dances On Stage In A Bejeweled Corset For Cowboy Carter World Tour: ‘She Should Be In School’
May 1, 2025 by Abigail Connolly
Beyoncé is currently performing in one of her most talked-about stadium tours, and while some of her fans have been loving the elaborate show she’s curated, others haven’t been so pleased to see her young daughters involved in the massive production.
The pop star started her highly anticipated country-themed ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour this week and has been making headlines for several reasons, from her sparking cowgirl costumes to her elaborate choreography. However, she’s receiving significant backlash after it was revealed that her new shows involve her daughters, particularly her eldest, Blue Ivy, who has become a very integrated part of the nearly three-hour-long performances as a featured dancer. Read more about the controversial tour below.
The singer’s 13-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who she shares with husband Jay Z, has been appearing in the public eye a lot more often than she did as a little kid. She first began performing alongside her mother during her record-breaking Renaissance World Tour in 2023, stepping out on stage as a backup dancer at only 11 years old. Since then, she’s become a popular member of her record-breaking mom’s team, two-stepping beside her during the NFL Christmas Day game halftime show last year, and now, joining her as a featured dancer on the ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour.
The stadium tour kicked off in Los Angeles this week, and the “Texas Hold Em” singer put on a theatrical concert with costume changes, special effects, moving set pieces, and more, creating a nearly three-hour-long production. While many would argue that Beyoncé is the star of the show, some of the most headline-making moments in the set are when Blue Ivy takes the stage as a dancer with several solo moments, strutting in bejeweled corsets and performing intense choreography.
At another point in the long show, the Grammy winner also brought out her youngest daughter, Rumi, who is seven years old, for a brief cameo. Although she sings about being her children’s “protector” on stage in one of her songs, some internet users are calling out Beyoncé for involving her kids in her massive tour, considering how young they are.
