Blue Ivy Carter's Greatest Accomplishments (So Far)

In a pre-recorded video released in November 2021, the 9½-year-old joined mom Beyoncé and other celebrities in reciting some of her rapper dad's famous lyrics in honor of his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

"Congrats S. Carter, ghost writer/You paid the right price, so we just make your hits tighter," Blue Ivy said, adorably laughing as she read out the censored line from JAY-Z's 1998 track "Ride or Die."

Blue Ivy Carter won her first Grammy Award alongside her superstar mom at the 2021 Grammys, taking home the prize for best video for "Brown Skin Girl." At 9 years old, she's now the second-youngest winner in Grammy Award history! 

The mother-daughter duo shares the award with "Brown Skin Girl" collaborator Wizkid, as well as the video's director Jenn Nkiru.

If that weren't enough, Blue — here with her parents in their Tiffany & Co. "About Love" campaign — became the youngest-ever MTV Video Music Award winner for "Brown Skin Girl" in September 2021, beating out fellow nominees like Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Chance the Rapper and Lady Gaga.

In early 2020, Blue received her first-ever BET Award nomination — and won, too! Over the summer, she picked up the outstanding duo/group prize for her contributions to "Brown Skin Girl."

While it was impossible to steal the show from her mom in the Black Is King visual album, Blue absolutely shined during her multiple cameos throughout, even showing off her impressive dance skills. It may be tough for some celebrity kids to live under the shadows of their parents, but Blue has totally embraced the spotlight and takes each moment to show the world her many talents.

Other notable cameos included the star's younger siblings, twins Rumi and Sir, her dad JAY-Z, and Naomi Campbell, Pharrell, Jessie Reyez, Lupita Nyong'o, Tiwa Savage, Tierra Whack and numerous other Black and African actors and Afrobeats stars.

Perhaps the most memorable part of Beyoncé's "Spirit" video is in the beginning when she is joined by her mini-me. Less than a minute into the video, as the singer sits by herself in the middle of the desert, the camera suddenly flashes to Blue, who is wearing a dress nearly identical to her mom's gown. Blue is captured staring off into the distance, the wind blowing in her hair, before she begins to approach Beyoncé and come into focus. She then reaches out for her mother's hand and gives a soft smile.

As the daughter of global superstars, Blue has stepped into her role as a public figure and has used her spotlight to empower young girls everywhere to dream big and to be confident. 

When his daughter revealed herself to be a gifted freestyle rapper at a young age, dad JAY-Z found a way to highlight his baby girl's talent just in time for her birthday.

The rapper dropped a video titled "Blue's Freestyle," which is a cut from his 4:44 album, for his daughter's 6th birthday. The video – which was first released on his TIDAL service – shows a school talent show in progress with little Blue waiting in the wings as her ballet routine is introduced.

Parents Beyoncé and JAY-Z, along with siblings Rumi and Sir, are shown watching her perform. Wearing a pink ballerina outfit, Blue performs a bit of her routine before she flips her head up and raises her fist to accept a falling microphone into her hand and launches into a freestyle rap.

Blue has been featured heavily in her father's work, including his "Family Feud" music video, along with her mother and several other A-list stars.

Before the young star had even been potty trained, her newborn cries were sampled on dad JAY-Z's song "Glory." Her adorable voice made her the youngest person to ever grace the Billboard charts.
