LOS ANGELES — Blue Ivy Carter is back onstage alongside her mom, Beyoncé, at her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour. And her little sister, Rumi Carter, made an appearance, as well.
Blue took center stage for “America Has a Problem” early in the set list as the tour kicked off April 28 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The crowd went wild as the 13-year-old danced front and center while the other dancers stayed back. Beyoncé grinned as the audience screamed.
Later, Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi, 7, appeared alongside her mom onstage for the first time ever during “Protector.”
The song features sentimental lyrics like, “Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own/ I will be your projector.”
Blue, Rumi and Beyoncé ended the song standing together as they shared smiles with one another. Following the performance, a montage of Beyoncé and her children appeared on the screen, leaving fans in tears.
This is the second tour where Blue has appeared as a backup dancer. She made her debut on the 2023 Renaissance World Tour in Paris. She also danced with her mom during the Beyoncé Bowl NFL halftime show on Christmas Day 2024.
The Los Angeles concert kicked off a total of 32 stadium shows on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. She’s set to make history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

Beyoncé first announced the tour the night before the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she took home the award for best country album and the night’s top prize album of the year for “Cowboy Carter.”
Of course, she first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé’s first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike.
Beyoncé last toured in 2023 for her record-breaking Renaissance World Tour. It began May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden, and concluded Oct. 1 in Kansas City, Missouri, with Beyoncé performing a total of 56 shows.
The tour followed the release of her seventh studio album, “Renaissance.” The 2022 project earned her four Grammys including best dance/electronic music album, making her the most decorated artist in the awards’ history. She later announced the album was the first part of a three-act project, making “Cowboy Carter” the second.
