The 11-year-old spent a few months traveling around the world and dancing alongside her mom, Beyoncé, on the Renaissance World Tour. After her surprise stadium debut in May, Blue became a mainstay on stage, continuously backing up her mom during the performances of "My Power" and Black Parade." And it seems Bey and JAY-Z's firstborn continued to gain confidence and sharpen the choreography with each appearance on stage. She even gained her own cult following — between cheering fans who dubbed themselves the "Ivy League" and the ongoing support of her family members. Now, you can see her entire journey in Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé which gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the entire tour.

Getty Bey praised her eldest daughter on Instagram, sharing some clips from her stadium debut. "My beautiful first born 🙏🏾 I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama," The "Alien Superstar" singer captioned her post. "You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel." Later, Beyoncé revealed she was skeptical about letting Blue dance in front of thousands of fans. "She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no," the mom of three recalled, per The New York Times, adding that she almost passed out the first time she shared the stage with her daughter. 03 of 09 Stadium Star Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, has been cheering on Blue since her first time stepping on stage, sharing videos of the preteen talent on her Instagram page. 04 of 09 Putting in Work Blue Ivy and Beyoncé.

In September, a compilation on TikTok compared her dancing at her first show, when she was a little more timid with the moves, to her strong moves at later concert in Houston. Fans flocked to the comments to celebrate Blue's growth. "It's so beautiful that Blue allowed beyonce to dance at her concert 🥹🥹," one TikTok user joked. "Watching her confidence grow throughout the tour has made me so proud! She's improves so much🥹🥲," said another fan. 06 of 09 Growing Confidence Meanwhile, Tina told PEOPLE that she's watched her granddaughter's confidence soar "to the sky." She went on to rave about Blue's natural skills as a performer. "Well, this is a heels family. You're trained early to walk in heels," Tina told PEOPLE in July. "But yeah, she's having the time of her life, and I couldn't be more proud of her because she really worked hard." 07 of 09 'Getting Better and Better' Blue Ivy.
