Move over, Beyoncé—it looks like Blue Ivy Carter is officially taking over! During the “Beyoncé Bowl” halftime show on Christmas Day, Queen Bey’s 12-year-old daughter stepped onto the field, and the crowd practically exploded. Forget the other special guests—Blue Ivy was the star of the show, and let’s be real, Beyoncé knew it.
The superstar mom, who just turned 43 and somehow still looks 25 (sorcery?), headlined the halftime show at the Ravens vs. Texans game at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Netflix streamed the whole thing live because, of course, you don’t put Beyoncé on regular cable anymore. (RIP, traditional TV.) And if you missed it? Don’t panic—you can relive the magic on Netflix on-demand soon.
Now, let’s talk about the moment Blue Ivy hit the field. She wasn’t just there to wave and look cute. Oh no, she was out there performing with Beyoncé during “Texas Hold ’Em,” the grand finale of the set. This wasn’t just a mother-daughter moment; it was Blue Ivy declaring, “World, I have arrived!”
The performance marked Beyoncé’s first time performing songs from her wildly unexpected country album, Cowboy Carter. (Yes, you read that right. Beyoncé doing country. The Queen of Pop has officially yee-hawed her way into our hearts.) And naturally, Blue Ivy was there to make sure the entire thing stayed fabulous.
If there’s one thing we learned from this epic halftime show, it’s that Blue Ivy Carter is coming for her mom’s crown. Beyoncé may have headlined, but Blue Ivy? She stole the show. Watch out, world—the next generation of superstardom is here, and she’s already mastered the art of the mic drop.
