Beyonce Reveals Why She Pulled Blue By The Hair During Performance.
Beyoncé made a triumphant return to the stage after a five-year hiatus with a spectacular performance at Dubai’s Atlantis Royal. She wowed the audience with renditions of some of her greatest hits, including “Crazy in Love,” “Beautiful Liar,” and “Naughty Girl,” while her husband Jay-Z watched from a hotel room balcony. Beyoncé reportedly earned $35 million for her one-hour performance, which also featured her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, joining her on stage for a rendition of “Brown Skin Girl.”
However, what caught attention during their performance was a moment between Beyoncé and Blue Ivy. Beyoncé paused and touched her daughter’s hair as a warning sign, prompting speculation about what had occurred. Reports later revealed that Beyoncé was displeased with Blue Ivy’s performance because she wasn’t dancing as she had been taught during rehearsals. Beyoncé, known for her strict standards, wanted everything to go according to plan, especially for her highly anticipated return to the stage. Blue Ivy seemed to understand the message, and there was no further issue.
Some fans criticized Beyoncé for being too hard on her daughter, while others understood her desire for perfection, particularly on such a significant occasion. Beyoncé’s dedication to her craft and her expectations for those around her, including her daughter, highlight her commitment to excellence.
While it was a moment to celebrate the “Renaissance” world tour and Miss Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter, the movie also revealed a concerning behind-the-scenes segment about her daughter’s concert appearances, which stole the show.

According to the New York Times, Blue Ivy was only supposed to perform once, and even then, Beyoncé needed some convincing. “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyoncé said in the documentary.

Blue Ivy Carter, 11, is the eldest child of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who also have 6-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.
Kyle Buchanan of the Times wrote, “Though she finally relented, Beyoncé was dismayed when Blue Ivy read comments on social media that criticized her lackluster moves. But it thrilled her mother that instead of quitting, she decided to put in the work and train even harder for future stops.”

I remember when Blue first performed in the “Renaissance” world tour in Paris to “My Power” and “Black Parade.” While Beyoncé posted a beautiful tribute on her Instagram, other folks took it upon themselves to critique the 11-year-old’s choreography.
“My beautiful first born 
I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama,” the caption read. “You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel.”

Like Beyoncé, most of us were basking in the reality that the same adorable toddler who congratulated her mother at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, saying, “Good job, Mommy,” was now a preteen killin’ choreography in front of 80,000 people. But others found time to be negative.

Now that Beyoncé let the world know that her daughter did, in fact, see the nasty comments, I’m sure many bitter adult trolls are wallowing in embarrassment.
