Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter attended Sabrina Carpenter’s LA concert at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California over the weekend.

Blue, 12, covered herself in lipstick kisses as she emulated the Taste hitmaker’s style on her Short n’ Sweet Tour – which has seen her don sequin leotards with rhinestone kisses on.

Blue was the spitting image of her superstar mom in a stylish top and skirt as she headed to the concert – with red lipstick across her face.

Blue is the eldest of 43-year-old Beyonce’s three children with Jay-Z, 54, with the couple parents to twins Rumi and Sir, seven.

Blue became a regular fixture during her mom’s live sets as the tour moved from mainland Europe to the United States between March and September 2023.

But the R&B superstar admits she was reluctant to allow her eldest child onstage prior to her first appearance at Stade De France in Saint Denis on May 26, where she surprised fans by dancing with her mother during renditions of My Power and Black Parade, a song released in response to the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

So often keen to separate her life as a working mother from life as an international star, Beyoncé reflected on the rare decision to let one of her children take centre-stage in the most public of arenas

‘Blue is an artist. She has great taste in music and fashion,’ she told the October edition of GQ. ‘She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three.

‘She’s a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage. Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and she earned it.

‘And most importantly, she had fun! We all watched her grow more and more every night before our eyes.’

The R&B superstar admits her daughter’s presence on tour was facilitated by a pre-arranged decision to perform 56 shows across a five month period that covered her children’s school holidays.

‘I try to only tour when my kids are out of school,’ she said. ‘I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture, and lifestyles.

‘Raising three kids isn’t easy….I love it. It’s grounding and fulfilling. My kids come with me everywhere I go.

‘They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me. They are in dance rehearsals.’

She added: ‘One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand.

‘It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.’
