Videos and photos of the couple sharing the stage at a New York City stadium have gone viral online. At the end of their performance, Jay-Z joked, “Oh, she can sing,” while the Run The World singer told the crowd, “Give it up for my baby,” with a smile on her face.Later, his 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, joined him on stage to perform his son’s “Feelin It.” According to various videos shared online, he welcomed his daughter on stage by saying, “Make some noise for the legendary Blue Ivy Carter,” after which he gave her a big hug.

About Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Blue Ivy
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been very proud of their 14-year-old daughter ever since she started performing on stage with her mother. Over and over, the two musicians talked about her stage presence and musical talents and shared how happy they were for her.While speaking to GQ in an old interview, the singer talked about how he felt when he saw his daughter on stage. He proudly answered, saying, “That was amazing. In the first round, there was a lot of talk about her first performance, and she worked so hard to get to that point, but she still wasn’t ready for it. She was still going through the motions. And then she just started fighting,” He also explained that Blue Ivy didn’t get it all, and she had to fight a lot to achieve and win things.In the future, he said that their daughter is also good at playing the piano and has a great sense of music. He added: “Blue is a crazy pianist, but she won’t let us make 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 then she’ll teach herself. That’s just talent. She doesn’t work at this. She worked at this, and it makes me proud that she fought for something she really wanted to do.”
I don’t think we’ll be able to get her out of that phase now.The family attended the Met Gala earlier this year together. While children were not allowed to attend the event alone, they could still join in the celebrations if accompanied by their parents.As for Blue Ivy, the 14-year-old joined her mother on stage for the first time in January 2023, during a special concert planned for Dubai. Later that year, she surprised the world by joining her mother on the Renaissance World Tour full-time as a dancer.
