Beyoncé told GQ in September 2024 that she watched her daughter \"grow more and more every night\" on the tour, which concluded in October 2023.
\"She's a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage,\" she said at the time. \"Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and she earned it. And most importantly, she had fun!\"
Beyoncé also described Blue as \"an artist\" during the interview.
\"She has great taste in music and fashion,\" she told the outlet. \"She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three.\"

Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed their twins on June 13, 2017. Two months following the arrival of the twins, Jay-Z explained the meaning behind their younger daughter's unique name.
\"Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter,\" he explained in an interview with Rap Radar hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian Miller, which was posted to his streaming service Tidal.
Jay-Z also said he and Beyoncé agreed on the name of their son after he was born.
\"Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir,\" he shared.
Beyoncé first announced her pregnancy with the twins in a surprise post on Instagram in February 2017, sharing a photo of herself cradling her belly.
\"We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over,\" she captioned the photo at the time. \"We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes.\"
In 2021, the twins made an appearance in Beyoncé's Ivy Park ad. \"The rodeo isn't just for the grown ups,\" the athleisure clothing brand teased on Instagram at the time. \"Introducing IVY PARK Kids.\"
The twins were also featured in a rare family photo Beyoncé shared on Instagram in November 2022, where the family donned outfits inspired by characters from Disney's animated sitcom \"The Proud Family.\"
\"Family every single day and night,\" she captioned the post.
On Beyoncé's eighth album, \"Cowboy Carter\", Rumi's voice opens \"Protector,\" the album's fourth track, where she asks her mother, \"Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?\"
