Tina Knowles Addresses Whether Blue Ivy Will Follow in Beyoncé’s Footsteps & Release an Album
Blue Ivy Carter has proved that she’s a gifted performer just by joining mom Beyoncé on stage every night on the Cowboy Carter Tour. But does she ever want to release music of her own?

In an interview with People published Friday (Sept. 19), Tina Knowles shared her thoughts on whether her granddaughter may do just that. “She can do so many things,” she told the publication of Blue.
“She can paint, she writes poetry,” Knowles continued. “Anything she puts her mind to do, she’s good at. So I don’t know what she’s going to do.”
Though the designer thinks her firstborn grandchild would “kill it” if she set her mind to music, Knowles isn’t sure it’s Blue’s path. “I think she would be great at music,” the businesswoman added. “But I don’t think that that’s her passion.”
That said, Blue already has several musical accolades under her belt if she ever does decide to pursue music. In 2021, she became the second-youngest person to ever win a Grammy at just nine years old, taking home best music video alongside Bey for the “Brown Skin Girl” music video. The now-13-year-old was also featured on her mom’s 2014 track “Blue.”
As Knowles pointed out, however, Blue is multitalented. The eldest daughter of Bey and Jay-Z voiced the character of Kiara in Mufasa, and she’s established her dancing chops by joining her superstar mother on stage during the Cowboy Carter trek. Each night, Blue dazzled the crowd by flawlessly nailing Bey’s iconic “Deja Vu” choreography.
Blue also danced on Bey’s Renaissance Tour in 2023 — but not without convincing her mom that she was absolutely ready for the responsibility. “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Bey told The New York Times that year.
“She’s having the time of her life, and I couldn’t be more proud of her because she really worked hard,” Knowles told People of her oldest granddaughter amid the Renaissance Tour. “She is 11 years old, and she had one week to prepare, and she’s just getting better and better. So I’m the proud grandma, always.”
