Beyoncé has once again captivated audiences, this time kicking off her much-anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour in Los Angeles, where she made a memorable debut alongside her two daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi.

Videos circulating on social media showcased Rumi’s infectious energy as she joined her mother during the opening night. Embracing the joyous atmosphere, Rumi was seen hugging her mom during the introductory lyrics of Beyoncé’s song “Protector” and walking with her on stage during the chorus.
Beyoncé’s decision to include her children in her performances has long been a hallmark of her career. The Cowboy Carter tour marks another example of this practice, as the proud mother celebrates her children’s creative contributions. Rumi’s voice can be heard in the opening lines of “Protector,” asking heartwarmingly, “Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?” This touching moment sets the stage for a dreamy experience that defines Beyoncé’s artistic expression.

At just 11 years old, she began performing as a backup dancer during Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, and her presence has continued to grow since then. Blue Ivy’s shared moments with her mother on stage have become a fan favorite, with audiences eagerly awaiting the next performance featuring this dynamic duo.
Blue Ivy’s experiences are a testament to the bond between mothers and daughters that transcends performance art. She was even present to witness her mother’s incredible achievement when Beyoncé won the Album of the Year award at the 2025 Grammy Awards, proving that her role in her mother’s life extends beyond just the stage.

As Beyoncé continues to integrate her children into her work, she not only showcases her immense talent but also fosters a deeper connection with her fans. The Cowboy Carter Tour demonstrates the beautiful journey of motherhood combined with professional artistry. According to the superstar singer, she try as much as possible to make sure her children experience a normal life regardless of her celebrity status.
“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,” she told GQ in an interview in October 2024. “It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.”
“I try to only tour when my kids are out of school,” she added. “I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture and lifestyles.”
