Beyoncé kicked off her highly anticipated “Cowboy Carter Tour” at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on April 28, with a special treat for her fans—surprise appearances by her daughters, Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7.
Blue Ivy, who previously wowed audiences as a backup dancer on Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023, joined her superstar mom on stage for the nearly three-hour show. The duo dazzled the crowd with their powerful presence throughout the night.

But it was Rumi’s first-ever stage appearance that truly stole the spotlight. The young star joined Beyoncé on stage during the emotional performance of “Protector,” a track from the Cowboy Carter album that features Rumi’s vocals.
In a heartwarming moment captured on social media, Rumi held her mom’s hand and flashed a big smile as the crowd cheered. After their performance, Rumi embraced Beyoncé in a sweet hug while Blue Ivy stood proudly behind them.
“Beautiful job, baby,” Beyoncé lovingly told her youngest daughter.
Following the “Protector” performance, a touching montage of Beyoncé and her three children—Rumi and her twin brother Sir, 7—played on the screen. The iconic singer shares her children with husband Jay-Z.
Fans were overjoyed to see the family bond on display, making the night even more unforgettable.
