The Cowboy Carter Tour has officially kicked off, and Beyoncé’s daughters did something no one else on this planet can do: steal the show from their mother.
Rumi made her tour debut during night one of the Cowboy Carter tour, on Monday night (April 28) in Los Angeles, joining her older sister, Blue Ivy Carter, and her mom.
Since their birth, Rumi, along with her twin brother, Sir, have been understandably heavily guarded by their two ridiculously famous parents, only making rare appearances. But like her older sibling, Rumi has been featured on a Beyoncé record, lending her voice on the track “Protector” off Yoncé’s latest project, Act II: Cowboy Carter.
It was a pleasant surprise when Rumi took the stage while her mom performed the song. Wearing a sparkly gold feather dress and matching cowboy boots, Rumi had a large grin on her face as she waved to the crowd, giving her mom several hugs that melted the global superstar’s heart.
Of course, like her mom, Rumi knows how to command a stage, striking a pose with her arms crossed over her chest as her big sister, flanked by Beyoncé’s dancers, performs a dance routine.
In another moment that definitely earned a collective “awwwwww” from those in attendance and on social media, Rumi joined her mom and 13-year-old sister for a warm embrace.
Blue Ivy Also Has The Internet Buzzing
Not to be outdone, Blue Ivy has also been receiving plenty of praise, especially since she continues to dance and her skills have improved immensely since joining her mother on tour during performances.
She even has a solo during her mom’s performance of “Déjà Vu.”
We love to see it, and so does social media, which has been buzzing since Monday when the clips of Rumi and Blue Ivy hit timelines.

Everyone knows that if you come for Beyoncé or her baby, Blue Ivy, the BeyHive will be on your a**! But that doesn’t mean that Blue Ivy isn’t aware of the negativity that comes with being in the spotlight, and apparently it actually pushes her to be better at what she does.
According to the New York Times, in her new film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, Beyoncé explained how she reacted to Blue’s request to join her on stage as a backup dancer (she said “no”) and the fallout that came after she relented and eventually let her be a part of her choreographed crew. As many know, Blue’s initial performance wasn’t exactly up to par with the rest of Beyoncé’s squad, and unfortunately, social media let her know as much.
While big momma Bey might’ve wanted to shield her daughter from the negativity, Blue ultimately learned of the online criticism she was getting. Instead of letting it get her down and dissuade her from continuing to perform, it only motivated her to put in the work and get better at the craft. Props!
Everything culminated to Blue Ivy’s stellar performance alongside her mother in Paris, which surprised fans who delighted in the visibly improved dance skills that Blue worked so hard to correct.

You gotta love it.
Even her grandmama, Ms. Tina Knowles, took to social media to praise her for doing her thing on stage and working hard to get better at her one-two step. “I am truly amazed by the courage that this brave, talented, beautiful 11 year old exhibited last night! There were almost 70,000 people in that audience. She danced with professional dancers, grown folks, she did complicated choreography and moves that they rehearsed for months ! She rehearsed and learned this in a little over a week,” Knowles said.
While we don’t know if this will lead to Blue pursuing a career in dancing, music or any other avenue of entertainment, at least we know she’ll put in that work to be the best she can be in that field. She’s a soldier, b.
