On Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been extremely proud of their 14-year-old daughter ever since she first performed on stage with her mother. Time and again, the two musicians talked about her stage presence and musicianship and shared how happy they were for her.In an old interview with GQ magazine, the singer talked about how he felt seeing his daughter on stage. He proudly replied, “It was awesome. On the first tour, there was a lot of buzz around her first show, and she worked so hard to get to that point, but she still didn’t get there. She was still going through the motions. And then she started fighting back.” He further explained that Blue Ivy didn’t have everything handed to her, and she had to fight a lot to achieve and win things.Immediately afterwards, he also revealed that his daughter plays the piano very well and has a strong sense of music. He added, “Bleu is a crazy pianist, but she won’t let us get her a teacher. She doesn’t want it to be a job. But she has perfect pitch. If she hears a song, she’ll say ‘play it again,’ and she’ll teach herself. That’s talent. She’s not good at it. She works for it, and that makes me proud, and she fights for what she really wants to do.” I don’t think we can get her off that stage right now. “Earlier this year, the family attended the Met Gala together. While children are not allowed to attend the event alone, they can still participate in the festivities if accompanied by a parent.As for Blue Ivy, the 14-year-old first took to the stage with her mother in January 2023, when she was planning a private concert in Dubai. Later that year, she stunned the world by joining her mother as a full-time dancer on the Renaissance World Tour.
