Beyoncé started her "Cowboy Carter Tour" in Los Angeles on April 28, 2025, and surprised fans by bringing her youngest daughter, Rumi, onstage for the first time. Rumi, who is 7, was joined by her older sister, Blue Ivy, who has performed with Beyoncé before. Rumi made her stage debut during the song "Protector" from Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter.

Beyoncé's youngest notably made her album debut on the singer’s Protector track from her 2024 Cowboy Carter album. The 7-year-old also recently made a rare appearance at her mother’s show wearing a gold sparkly feather dress with matching boots.
During her stage debut, the 7-year-old was seen embracing the crowd alongside her 43-year-old mother and 13-year-old sister. As the song opened, she was captured hugging her mom, while Beyoncé said:
"Give it up for Rumi, y'all."
Meanwhile, the singer’s eldest, Blue Ivy, also made her presence seen during the Protector track as she danced behind the two. The 13-year-old wore a sparkly grey ensemble to match her mom.
The Texas Hold ‘Em singer shares three kids with her husband, American rapper Jay-Z, including Blue Ivy, and twins Rumi and Sir. Queen Bey has slowly incorporated her kids into the spotlight by allowing them to join her during her concerts and songs.
Notably, the 7-year-old has sung the opening lines of the singer’s track Protector. Her lyrics include: "Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?" Meanwhile, Blue Ivy has also joined her mother on tour and during her performances.
The 13-year-old began performing during her mom's 2023 Renaissance World Tour. She was just 11 years old when she made her onstage debut. The singer’s eldest has performed with her mother at various shows, including the NFL Christmas halftime show.
The "Cowboy Carter Tour" is the tenth concert tour by Beyoncé in support of her eighth studio album of the same name, Cowboy Carter. While it commenced on April 28 in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California, it is scheduled to conclude on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada.
