Blue Ivy Carter has once again shown off her dance moves with her mom.

On Wednesday, December 25, Beyoncé took the stage for the halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium. This performance marked the first live rendition of tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter.

She kicked off her show with a video of her performing “16 Carriages” and “Blackbird” while riding a horse. After that, she made her way to the football field, dressed in a sparkling white bodysuit, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat, where she performed “Ya Ya.”

She also included country artists Tanner Addlell, Brittany Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts.

During the performance, her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, was spotted in the midst of a group of background dancers, all clad in white as well. She later joined them on stage. Near the conclusion of the show, Blue Ivy came back to dance in a do-si-do with her mother. She looked stylish in a strapless white top and white pants adorned with fringe along the sides.

Numerous fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to rave about the exchange between the mother and daughter.

“Blue Ivy is absolutely stealing the show! I love watching her perform alongside Beyoncé,” someone commented on X.

"Wow! Blue Ivy Carter is thriving alongside her mom, @Beyonce. What an amazing performance!" another comment chimed in.

The performance also featured musical appearances by Post Malone and Shaboozey.

Created by Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, this special halftime performance is thought to be one part of a three-project agreement with Netflix that she entered into in 2019.

As she prepared for her Christmas Day show, the singer known for "Texas Hold 'Em" released a funny promotional video poking fun at Netflix for its past buffering problems.

The streaming powerhouse even got in on the fun, replying to her X/Twitter post with, "Wait a minute..." They also quickly updated their profile bio to read: "Burned by Beyoncé 12.24.24."

This isn’t the first occasion that Blue Ivy has danced with her mother. In 2023, she joined the “Halo” singer as a dancer on her Renaissance World Tour.

At a concert in Paris, she appeared on stage with her mother for the song “Her Power.” Later on, Blue Ivy took the lead with a group of dancers for “Black Parade,” showcasing her impressive dance moves in front of a crowd of over 75,000 attendees.

Earlier this year in January, she took the stage at a private Beyoncé event in Dubai where she surprised everyone with a duet of "Brown Skin Girl." Additionally, she was a backup dancer for her mother during the Oscars in 2022.

Blue Ivy recently took the stage shortly after her first film appearance in Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King. The 12-year-old was announced as part of the cast for the movie, which is helmed by Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight, back in April. She shared the screen with her mother, Donald Glover, and Aaron Pierre in this prequel to Disney's beloved animated film.

Blue Ivy, known for her roles in various music videos created by her parents, made her debut in a feature film by lending her voice to the character Princess Kiara.

In an Instagram post, Beyoncé celebrated her daughter's special occasion, saying: “My beautiful daughter. Tonight is all about you. You put in so much effort and did an amazing job as the voice of Kiara. Your family is incredibly proud of you. Keep glowing.”
