Upstaging Beyoncé is no easy feat – especially not at one of her own concerts.
But with a statement flick of her hair, Blue Ivy did it with ease as she made the stage her runway before breaking into a solo dance at the opening night of her mom’s Cowboy Carter tour.
The 13-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is rap mogul Jay-Z, showcased her explosive choreography as she led a troupe of her mom’s backing dancers in front of 70,000 fans at California’s SoFi stadium last month.
With music in her genes, it seems fitting that Blue has inherited a taste not only for the industry, but also the spotlight.
Now, the Daily Mail can reveal the seasoned performer wants more than to saddle up beside her mother – she wants to take the reins and pen her own body of work.
‘Blue is considering starting her own career in music,’ our insider said. ‘Some of Beyoncé’s favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album.’

With no shortage of industry bigwigs to lean on, the youngster has reportedly sought help from her famous aunt Solange Knowles and already has tracks lined up from The-Dream, should she want them.
The American songwriter and producer has long worked with Beyoncé, co-writing songs including Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and Break My Soul from her Grammy-winning Renaissance album. He also worked with Jay-Z on his 2013 track No Church in the Wild.
‘Blue is also writing material with help from Solange,’ our source continued. ‘The-Dream has been spearheading it, and he has two or three records for her. They know the fans want to hear a Blue record.’
They added: ‘She is only allowed to listen to age-appropriate songs from artists and has been listening to Infinity Song, Michelle Williams’ Heart 2 Yours record and Goapele.’
Blue Ivy’s foray into solo stardom won’t be her first shot at singing. The young teen, whose fan base is known as the Ivy League, had credits to her name long before reaching double digits.
Dubbed ‘the most famous baby in the world’ by TIME, just ten days after her birth in January 2012 her coos and cries featured on her dad’s track Glory. The following year she landed a credit on her mom’s single Blue from her self-titled album.
Aged seven, she sang on Homecoming: The Live Album – a collection of recordings from Beyoncé’s record-breaking Coachella 2018 set – performing her own rendition of hymn Lift Every Voice and Sing.
‘I want to do it again… I want to do it again,’ she says at the end of the track. ‘It feels good!’

And do it again she did.
In 2019 she became the youngest female artist to chart on the Hot 100 after featuring on her mom’s single Brown Skin Girl – a title she later lost to her sister Rumi after she joined Beyoncé on Protector last year.
The credit also earned Blue a Grammy and the Guinness World Record for youngest individually credited person to receive one of the famous gold-plated gongs.
Soon followed a cascade of accolades, all before she had started secondary education, as well as a spot on her mom’s record-breaking Renaissance World Tour – which saw her criticised for her moves.
In 2023 she finally showcased her singing live on stage in Dubai with a duet with her mom who was making her return to the stage for the first time in four years. The one-hour set earned the pop superstar a reported $35 million.
And Blue Ivy could challenge her mom’s fortune if she is able to shake the nepo baby tag and deliver real talent.
‘Blue Ivy could easily secure multi-million-dollar deals, lucrative brand partnerships, and significant earnings from streaming platforms and endorsements right from the start,’ said PR expert Stacy Jones Founder and CEO, Hollywood Branded. ‘Think Olivia Rodrigo or Billie Eilish, but amplified due to her family background.
‘Could she become as big as Beyoncé? Honestly, that’s an extraordinarily high bar, but if Blue Ivy delivers real talent, authenticity, and genuinely connects with fans, especially Gen Z, there’s no reason she couldn’t carve out her own substantial legacy.’
Beyoncé and Jay are ‘very big on their kids receiving a formal education’ but that they also ‘see that Blue has talent and is hardworking’
Speaking to the BBC last month, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, said Blue Ivy and her siblings were being nurtured to do ‘anything that they want for themselves… but definitely not pushed into show business.’
Beyoncé has approached her eldest daughter’s impending fame with caution, previously revealing she initially refused to allow her then 11-year-old to dance on tour despite being a ‘natural’ and an ‘artist,’ but retreated as Blue Ivy ‘wanted it for herself.’
The youngster proved how much she wants it, undergoing hours of intense training to perfect her moves on the Cowboy Carter tour all while juggling her school work.
Our source said Beyoncé and Jay are ‘very big on their kids receiving a formal education’ but that they also ‘see that Blue has talent and is hardworking.’
They said: ‘They’re ready for her to have a Whip My Hair moment.’
