Beyoncé reveals she didn’t want daughter Blue-Ivy onstage during Renaissance tour as superstar lifts the lid on parenthood, privacy and the ‘prison’ of fame: ‘Raising three kids isn’t easy’
As a die-hard fan, witnessing Blue Ivy Carter grace the stage with her iconic mother during Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour was nothing short of magical. The way Beyoncé seamlessly blends her roles as an international superstar and devoted mother is truly inspiring.
For some, the sight of Blue-Ivy Carter joining her superstar mother onstage remains one of the defining takeaways from Beyoncé’s sweeping Renaissance world tour.
During her concerts, which took place from March to September 2023, spanning from mainland Europe to the United States, the singer’s 12-year old daughter often joined her on stage, becoming a frequent feature during these performances alongside Jay-Z.
However, the renowned R&B artist confessed that she initially hesitated to let her oldest child perform alongside her before their first show at Stade De France in Saint Denis on May 26. The concert goers were taken aback when they witnessed the singer dancing with her mother during performances of My Power and Black Parade, a song created as a reaction to George Floyd’s murder in 2020.
Frequently striving to distinguish between her life as a career woman and a mother, Beyoncé, aged 43, pondered over the unique choice to allow one of her children to shine in the limelight, in the most exposed settings.
In her conversation with the October issue of GQ, it was mentioned that Blue is a versatile artist. Her exceptional sense of style extends not only to music and fashion but also to her work as an editor, painter, and actress. Since early childhood, she has been developing characters, showcasing her creative talents from a young age.
She has a knack for it, yet I wasn’t keen on Blue performing. However, Blue seemed determined to take the stage. She approached it with sincerity and proved herself worthy.
Indeed, what truly stood out was my own enjoyment. Night after night, I had the privilege of observing her blossoming right before mine, a spectacle that never failed to captivate me.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Being a parent to energetic six-year-old twins like Rumi and Sir isn’t easy, but their superstar mom found a solution that works for them both. By strategically scheduling 56 performances over a five-month period during her children’s school holidays, she ensures that her precious time with them isn’t compromised while still fulfilling her passion on tour.
She mentioned that she prefers traveling only when her children are not in school. Her ambition has long been to explore the globe together with her family, immersing them in diverse languages, architectural styles, and cultures.
Managing three children can be quite challenging…yet, I adore every moment of it. It keeps me grounded and provides immense satisfaction. My kids accompany me wherever I go – they visit my office after school hours, and they join me in the studio as well. They even participate in dance rehearsals with me.
She added: ‘One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand.
‘It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.’
Currently, the artist is working on an extensive, conceptual journey spanning across two albums, with each one exploring different genres. The first, released in 2021 as Renaissance, focuses on black influence within disco music. The second, released in 2023 under the title Cowboy Carter, delves into country music.
In simpler terms, she concludes her trilogy with information only essential for now, yet her followers will recognize its approach once she steps away from the limelight, which has remained bright after Carter was unexpectedly left out of the latest Country Music Awards nominees list.
She mentioned that she exclusively focuses on tasks that provide her freedom. She elaborated that fame could sometimes resemble a jail, which is why, if you notice her absence from the red carpet events, and when she vanishes until she has something artistic to present, it’s because of this reason.
She added: ‘I am a musician first. It has always been my priority. I didn’t get into anything that could take away from my artistry until I felt I was solidified as a master at my first love, music.
‘I don’t waste my time on something unless I’m deeply passionate about it. If I don’t wake up thinking about it and I’m not going to sleep dreaming about it, it’s not for me.’
One of her interests lies in whisky, as she shows great enthusiasm for it. She’s eager to explore the complicated world of the whiskey industry further by launching her own brand.
She elaborated on her affection for whiskey, expressing her fondness for its appearance, aroma, and the graceful way it moves within a glass. Moreover, she shared her appreciation for the tales associated with it.
Each bottle tells a story, and I enjoy sharing the world of whiskey with those who might discover their hidden fondness for it.
