Blue Ivy Was Motivated By the Negative Comments About Her Renaissance Tour Performance to Train Even Harder

Blue Ivy Carter's haters were apparently her biggest motivators on the Renaissance Tour.

During the world premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, it was revealed how the 11-year-old's multiple appearances on her mother's tour came to be. At first, Beyoncé wasn't keen on the idea of Blue joining her on stage (“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyoncé said in the film, according to The New York Times), but she finally caved and let Blue perform with her during the song "My Power" in Paris. 

Blue only had "a little over a week" to prepare for the gig, per her grandmother Tina Knowles-Lawson who shared footage of her first show on Instagram. But still, that didn't stop the internet from criticizing her "lackluster" dance moves. Following the initial performance, one of Carter's friends showed her the negative social media comments, and rather than quit, she trained even harder. 

Beyoncé was apparently "thrilled" by her daughter's decision to "put in the work" and let her perform at future stops. 

And all that hard work paid off. Just look at this video that chronicles Carter's progress on tour:

Back in July, Knowles-Lawson told People that Blue's confidence had "soared to the sky" since her first performance, telling the magazine: "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."

Keep twirling on those haters, Blue.
