Beyoncé’s 12-Year-Old Daughter Stuns Halftime Viewers in a White Corset—Is She Growing Up Too Fast
Blue Ivy Carter amazed audiences during Beyoncé’s Christmas Day NFL halftime show, performing alongside her famous mom. The 12-year-old received mixed reactions online, with some fans praising her talent while others expressed concerns about her growing up too quickly.
Beyoncé’s oldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, made headlines during her mom’s halftime performance at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
The 12-year-old, who is already taller than her mother’s 5 ft. 6 in. height, joined Beyoncé on the field with confidence and style.
Beyoncé, 43, dazzled in an all-white western-themed outfit during the 15-minute, eight-song show. Blue Ivy matched her mom, wearing her own all-white outfit, and performed as a backup dancer for the finale, “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
The performance showed the special bond between the mother and daughter, especially as they linked arms during a square-dancing segment. While Blue’s appearance surprised some people, others expected it because of her growing list of achievements.
At just 12 years old, Blue Ivy is already a two-time Guinness World Record holder with several impressive accomplishments. She also lent her voice to Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King. Beyoncé celebrated this with a heartfelt Instagram post, calling her daughter’s work beautiful and saying, “Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
The Christmas Day performance, which streamed on Netflix, was full of stars, but Blue Ivy stole the spotlight. Social media buzzed with comments about her height and talent.
One person wrote, “How is Blue just as tall as her mom already? Wow 😯❤️.” Another said, “Blue is so tall already at only 12 years old!!”
Another fan shared, “I couldn’t believe how tall she is now. She looks like a grown adult, but she’s still a pre-teen.” Others said things like, “Blue has gotten tall. Beyoncé did an amazing job!” and “Blue is taller than her mother now OMG!!! ❤️❤️❤️.”
Many fans praised her, with one saying, “I just loved Blue having so much fun up there. She did so good! Such a great performance overall.” Another said, “I LOVE how Post Malone said ‘yes ma’am’ to her at the end. Blue is so professional 💜.”
Someone else wrote, “This was a flawless performance. I love seeing her and Blue performing together 💕.” Another added, “Baby Blue was up there tearing it UPPP 😩👏.”
However, critics also shared concerns, questioning if Blue is living a normal childhood. One person commented, “I hope one time I could see Blue Ivy smile. Most of the time she doesn’t look happy. Breaks my heart as she’s a child.”
Another said, “This child will never know what it’s like to be a kid and hang out with friends.” Others asked, “Does that child go to school?” and “To grown too soon…be a child first!!!!”
Criticism continued with one saying, “That poor 12-year-old child.” Another added, “That’s her daughter? She doesn’t know anything about being a child.” Someone else wrote, “Pretty crazy that Blue Ivy is only 12.”
Some also commented on her appearance. One person wrote, “Is she 12? She looks 30.” Another added, “That kid looks 20 years old.” Others said her outfit was too mature, calling it something for an “18-year-old lady.”
Despite the mixed reactions, for Beyoncé and her family, Blue Ivy Carter’s performance was another iconic moment in their journey in entertainment.
As Blue’s 13th birthday approaches on January 7, her growing presence signals a legacy in the making—one being watched by millions.
