Los Angeles, May 4: Pop megastar Beyoncé turned a recent stop on her Cowboy Carter tour into a touching family celebration, inviting her mother Tina Knowles and daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi on stage for a special tribute in Los Angeles.
During her set, the 43-year-old singer paused the performance to acknowledge a personal milestone for her 71-year-old mother. “Today is a big day because my mother, who worked so hard on her book, has the Number 1 book on the New York Times bestsellers,” Beyoncé proudly told the crowd, referring to Tina Knowles' newly released memoir Matriarch.
She then led the audience in a chant of “Congratulations, Mama T,” as Tina joined her on stage. Daughters Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7, clapped along with the roaring crowd before Beyoncé embraced her mother in a heartfelt hug.
This wasn’t the first time Beyoncé’s daughters have taken the stage with her. Blue Ivy, already showing star power of her own, stunned fans in a newspaper-print jumpsuit while dancing alongside her mom to America Has a Problem, and even performed a solo routine during Deja Vu. Rumi joined for a tender moment during the performance of Protector, a song Beyoncé dedicated to her.
However, one family member was notably absent — seven-year-old Sir, Rumi’s twin brother. Known for his quiet nature, Sir typically avoids the spotlight. Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z have largely kept him out of the public eye.
Grandmother Tina Knowles previously described the twins’ personalities in 2019, saying, “Rumi is going to rule the world,” while Sir is more like his father, Jay-Z — calm and introverted. “Sir just wants his world to himself,” echoed Beyoncé’s father Mathew in a 2020 interview.
Despite Beyoncé’s massive global fanbase and a net worth reportedly exceeding £600 million, the Cowboy Carter tour has faced some challenges, including reports of unsold seats and empty sections at certain venues. Still, the tour — spanning 32 cities across the US and Europe — continues, with stops in major hubs like Chicago, Paris, Houston, and Las Vegas.
