Beyoncé's 13-Year-Old Daughter Blue Ivy 'Considering' Major Career Move As She Dazzles At Her Mother's Tour

Yahoo3 days ago

Blue Ivy, the eldest daughter of music powerhouses Beyoncé and Jay-Z, is reportedly "considering" stepping into the music spotlight herself.
The 13-year-old is said to already have some writers penning potential songs and has also been working with her mother's sister, Solange Knowles, to write her own material.
Earlier in the year, Beyoncé also received the go-ahead to trademark Blue Ivy's name, which experts believe will ensure the name can not be used for "unauthorized purposes."
After captivating audiences with her impressive choreography during the opening night of her mother's Cowboy Carter tour, Blue Ivy has reportedly caught the music bug, just like her superstar parents.
"Blue is considering starting her own career in music," an insider told the Daily Mail. "Some of Beyoncé's favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album."
Interestingly, the teenager doesn't intend to rely solely on her mother's writers if she chooses to pursue a music career.
She has reportedly also been spending time developing her material with the help of her aunt, Solange Knowles.
"Blue is also writing material with help from Solange," the insider further remarked, before adding that renowned songwriter and producer, The-Dream, is also involved.
"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," the source also revealed.
Already, Blue Ivy has shown rare signs she might have the talent to follow in the footsteps of her famous parents.
At just seven years old, she was featured in her mother's "Homecoming: The Live Album" with her own rendition of the hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
She also sang in Beyoncé's 2019 hit single "Brown Skin Girl," with the music video going on to win the award for Best Music Video at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
In 2023, Blue Ivy took things a step further by performing a duet with her mom during a show in Dubai.
Meanwhile, during JAY-Z's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Blue Ivy added a heartwarming touch to the celebration by reworking a few lines from the rapper's song "Ride Or Die" to deliver a brief but memorable rap on camera.
"Congrats S. Carter, ghostwriter, you paid the right price, so we just make your hits tighter," she rhymed at the time, per Revolt.
If the teenager ultimately launches a music career, industry insiders predict that major brands will be lining up to collaborate with her from the very beginning.
"Blue Ivy could easily secure multi-million-dollar deals, lucrative brand partnerships, and significant earnings from streaming platforms and endorsements right from the start," PR expert Stacy Jones told the Daily Mail. "Think Olivia Rodrigo or Billie Eilish, but amplified due to her family background."
The Hollywood Branded CEO went on to admit that it might be impossible for Blue Ivy to achieve the same height as her mother, but that she has a strong chance of achieving major success.
"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," added the PR expert.
As Blue Ivy continues to rise to stardom, her mother is making sure that she continues to stand out, per The U.S. Sun.
Earlier in the year, the pop star received approval to trademark her daughter's name, which PR expert Grayce McCormick claimed "reflects her keen awareness of personal branding and legacy building."
The Lightfinder PR founder also hinted that Beyoncé bringing her daughter on her then-Renaissance World Tour was an act of introducing her into the "public consciousness as an emerging talent."
Further reflecting on the trademark, McCormick said it will ensure that Blue Ivy's name cannot be used for "unauthorized purposes" that "could harm their reputation or exploit their identity."
She added that it would also help the family to "build a consistent and authentic brand narrative" for Blue Ivy regardless of what endeavors she intends to use it for.
According to McCormick, fans of Beyoncé can expect to see the singer continue to shape her daughter's career path, which already boasts an impressive resume that includes narrating a New York Times best-selling book and landing a lead role in "Mufasa."
"Collaborations on philanthropic initiatives, a gradual introduction to creative projects, and opportunities for Blue Ivy to speak or appear independently will help shape her narrative," the PR expert said.
McCormick continued, "By blending mentorship with moments that allow Blue Ivy to shine independently, Beyoncé is not just securing her daughter's career foundation, she is also setting an inspiring example of parenting in the public eye."

Rogan claims 2 former presidents called Spotify over his controversial COVID commentary

Podcaster Joe Rogan claimed Tuesday that two unnamed former presidents were involved in the protest against his skeptical discussions about COVID-19. Spotify received backlash in 2022 for allowing Rogan, one of its biggest stars, to spread what progressive critics claimed was COVID misinformation. Musician Neil Young famously removed his content from Spotify in protest over Rogan's rhetoric, saying he no longer wanted to share a platform with him. "And then all of a sudden, I hear that Neil Young wants me removed from Spotify. I was like, 'What the f--- is going on? This is crazy,'" Rogan said Tuesday. "Spotify got calls from two former presidents," he added. Then-Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki commented on the controversy directly. After Spotify announced it would flag podcasts that cover COVID-19, Psaki responded, "So this disclaimer, it's a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation while also uplifting accurate information." "Our hope is that all major tech platforms — and all major news sources for that matter — be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as COVID-19," she added. But Rogan said that instead of being censored or deplatformed, "I grew by 2 million subscribers in a month." "People started listening," he said, despite how his critics attacked his reputation. "And they started listening, like, 'Oh, he's really reasonable and pretty humble about all this stuff and just asking questions.'" Rogan also condemned how media outlets attacked his use of Ivermectin to treat his COVID-19 by referring to it as a horse dewormer. "I'm, like, 'Why aren't you guys concentrating on the fact that a 55-year-old man is fine three days later during the worst strain?' It was during the Delta where everybody's freaking out. 'This one's going to kill us all.' And I was fine in three days," he said. Rogan described the whole experience as a "wake-up call" that opened his eyes about the liberal legacy media. "It's so dirty. It's such a dirty business," Rogan said. "God, I used to have massive respect for journalists. If I had never done this podcast, I would be your regular schmo out there with, you know, just spitting out all the company lines and all the blast all over the news." "I kind of liked it better then," he said with a laugh. "I didn't think the world is filled with demons, money-hungry demons that are willing to sacrifice human lives in the pursuit of revenue." Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek addressed the pushback against hosting Rogan during the company's earnings call in February 2022. "I think the important part here is that we don't change our policies based on one creator, nor do we change it based on any media cycle," the chief executive said at the time. "Our policies have been carefully written with the input from numbers of internal and external experts in this space – and I do believe they're right for our platform." Fox News Digital reached out to Spotify for comment and did not receive an immediate reply.

How the Beach Boys' ‘Pet Sounds' Entered the Pop Music Pantheon. (Eventually.)

Making a list of the best rock albums ever is easy: Something old (the Beatles), something new or newer (perhaps Radiohead), something borrowed (the Rolling Stones' blues or disco pastiches) and Joni Mitchell's 'Blue.' And, of course, bursting into the top 10 — and often higher — of any respectable list: 'Pet Sounds.' The overwhelming brainchild of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys' chief songwriter whose death at 82 was announced on Wednesday, 'Pet Sounds' is beautiful — with gorgeous vocal harmonies, haunting timbres and wistful lyrics of adolescent longing and estrangement. It was a landmark in studio experimentation that changed the idea of how albums could be made. But one thing that stands out about the Beach Boys' masterpiece is how gradually it came to be widely celebrated, compared with many of its peers. 'When it was released in the United States,' said Jan Butler, a senior lecturer in popular music at Oxford Brookes University in the United Kingdom, 'it did pretty well, but for the Beach Boys, it was considered a flop.' Released in the spring of 1966, 'Pet Sounds' represented a break from the catchy tunes about surfing, cars and girls that the group had consistently rode to the top of the charts. The opening track is called 'Wouldn't It Be Nice,' but previous Beach Boys songs had described how nice it was. The album peaked at No. 10 — low for one of the most popular acts at the time — and was the first Beach Boys album in three years not to reach gold status, Butler wrote in a chapter of an academic book. The Beach Boys' record company, Capitol, rushed out a greatest-hits that outsold the album of original music. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Blue Moon is getting into the lip balm business

In an unusual pairing, beer maker Blue Moon and personal care product company eos have teamed up to create a new orange-flavored lip balm. The Valencia Orange Lip Balm debuted Tuesday and is available exclusively on Blue Moon and eos' websites. It comes in a round shell typical of eos' style but with a twist: A small Blue Moon label is printed on the orange casing. In the online description of the product, the companies say the lip balm was designed to enhance the flavor of Blue Moon beer, a Belgian-style wheat beer known for its citrusy flavor. "This limited-edition balm doesn't just resemble a Valencia orange, it delivers the same refreshing, juicy taste," Blue Moon and eos said in a statement. While the product does not contain any alcohol, the companies say it is intended for an audience 21 and older. The balm retails for $4.99 and is available while supplies last, according to the companies' statement. Blue Moon is owned by Molson Coors Beverage Company, whose beer brands include Coors, Coors Light, Miller High Life and Miller Lite. "Through this unexpected partnership with eos, we're giving fans a whole new way to enjoy that iconic citrus taste," Courtney Benedict, vice president of marketing at the Molson Coors, said in a statement.
