This Clip of Blue Ivy Carter Bringing Out Towels to Dry the Stage Before Her Dance Is Going Viral
Blue Ivy Carter had another viral moment on her mom's Cowboy Carter Tour, and this time, it involved two towels. The 13-year-old stepped onstage during Beyoncé's very rainy May 28 show with the black towels in hand. She wiped the stage with them, tossed them aside, and, without missing a beat, nailed the elaborate choreography for 'America Has a Problem.' The footage is incredible: Blue's grandmother Tina Knowles recently spoke to Extra about how Blue has evolved on tour. 'I just see the confidence grow every day,' Knowles marveled. 'You know, Blue is tall, she's like 5'9', and she's 13 years old, and it's great. I would always say, 'Stand tall because your grandma always wanted to be tall,' but she would still slump a little bit. But now we've got the model pose, and she's strutting, and she's confident. That's the most important thing to me.' Knowles admitted that she still hopes Blue doesn't become a pop star, despite her talent. 'My wish for her is that I wish that she would do something else,' she said. 'I hope she doesn't go into entertainment just because I think it's a huge sacrifice. It's a huge sacrifice on your life, but if she chooses to do it, I'm going to be right up at front, screaming and cheering, but hopefully she'll choose something else.' In September, Beyoncé spoke to GQ about how gifted her oldest daughter is. 'Blue is an artist,' the singer said. 'She has great taste in music and fashion. She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three. She's a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage [on the Renaissance World Tour]. Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and she earned it. And most importantly, she had fun! We all watched her grow more and more every night before our eyes.'

Beyoncé Just Revealed Her Cowboy Carter Tour Looks (& Was That a Nod to Taylor Swift?!)
While everyone else is still trying to figure out what to wear to the Cowboy Carter tour a.k.a. the concert of the summer (some ideas here, if you're stuck), Beyoncé just casually dropped her looks—and yes, they're everything. If you weren't lucky enough to be at opening night, she gave the rest of us a front-row seat via Instagram, and honestly? One word: stunning. 'Welcome to the COWBOY CARTER TOUR,' she captioned the post—and the energy was sparkle meets rodeo queen. She kicked off the post in a show-stopping all-white, strapless bodysuit with a plunging V-neckline, paired with matching chaps and sleeves, both dripping in fringe. Another standout moment featured an allover U.S. flag print bodysuit with a jaw-droppingly long cape that basically was the stage. Next came a dazzling dark green, glittery number that perfectly matched daughter Blue Ivy's fit. And then there's the red full-body suit covered in silver and white stars, paired with a red cowgirl hat that screamed main character. But Queen Bey didn't stop there. She also served up a denim shorts look with knee-high furry boots, a sparkling silver top and a tan-and-white trucker hat. Another moment had her in a blue, denim-inspired full-body suit with fringe, a deep V neckline and a bold buckle. Another iconic fit was a newspaper-printed bodysuit featuring headlines like 'I'm That Girl' and 'America Has a Problem'—shoutouts to songs on her album, of course. She also stunned in a red-and-white patterned dress with big sleeves and an even bigger skirt. In the final slide, Bey threw up a heart with her hands while wearing the white fringe look—a subtle (and sweet?) nod to Taylor Swift, perhaps? The Cowboy Carter Tour officially kicked off April 28 in Inglewood, California—and in true Beyoncé fashion, she had a surprise up her sleeve. Her 7-year-old Rumi joined her onstage with big sis Blue Ivy during 'Protector.' A full-circle moment, since on the album Rumi's voice opens the song with, 'Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?' If this is just the beginning, we're in for an unforgettable ride. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

The new look was an all-Black get up with massive American flag cuffs at the bottom of each pant leg. 'America Has a Problem' outfit Outside of the new looks, Beyoncé continued to make a statement with her wardrobe. During one interlude, Beyoncé plays a news snippet where news commenter Megyn Kelly says, "Country music's been around for a long, long time. It goes right to the heart of America, and most Americans in red states have been loving and enjoying it long before 'Queen Bey' decided to stick her big toe into the lane." She intercuts this sound bite with various news clips along with videos of Black musicians from the past before a message that reads "despite noise, we sing." The interlude then goes into her 2022 song "America Has a Problem" and during this performance, Beyoncé, her 13-year old daughter Blue Ivy and the rest of the dancers wear white jumpsuits that have "America Has a Problem" written on them.
