This Clip of Blue Ivy Carter Bringing Out Towels to Dry the Stage Before Her Dance Is Going Viral


Blue Ivy Carter had another viral moment on her mom’s Cowboy Carter Tour, and this time, it involved two towels. The 13-year-old stepped onstage during Beyoncé’s very rainy May 28 show with the black towels in hand. She wiped the stage with them, tossed them aside, and, without missing a beat, nailed the elaborate choreography for “America Has a Problem.” The footage is incredible:
Blue’s grandmother Tina Knowles recently spoke to Extra about how Blue has evolved on tour. “I just see the confidence grow every day,” Knowles marveled. “You know, Blue is tall, she’s like 5’9”, and she’s 13 years old, and it’s great. I would always say, ‘Stand tall because your grandma always wanted to be tall,’ but she would still slump a little bit. But now we’ve got the model pose, and she’s strutting, and she’s confident. That’s the most important thing to me.”
Knowles admitted that she still hopes Blue doesn’t become a pop star, despite her talent. “My wish for her is that I wish that she would do something else,” she said. “I hope she doesn’t go into entertainment just because I think it’s a huge sacrifice. It’s a huge sacrifice on your life, but if she chooses to do it, I’m going to be right up at front, screaming and cheering, but hopefully she’ll choose something else.”
In September, Beyoncé spoke to GQ about how gifted her oldest daughter is. “Blue is an artist,” the singer said. “She has great taste in music and fashion. 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 [on the Renaissance World Tour]. 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.”
