Blue Ivy joined her mom, Beyoncé, for the latter’s performance during the Christmas Day showdown between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens and nearly stole the show.

The 12-year-old appears to have taken after her mom, not only in terms of looks, as she showed off some impressive dance skills that left social media waxing lyrical.

Ivy, who comes from music royalty, with Jay-Z being her father, dressed in a white cowgirl outfit as her mother performed songs from her latest album “Cowboy Carter,” for the first time, rocking Akira boots, a Stetson hat, a diamond necklace, and a “Cowboy Carter” sash.

They both showed off buffalo-shaped belt buckles styled by Ukranian designer Frolov, who also designed the backup dancers’ outfits.

The appearance from the pre-teen sparked some conversation online.

“this angle of blue ivy shows how much she snapped!! then she started off the count 🥹,” a fan wrote as the caption to one of the many clips in circulation.

“me telling my family “that’s blue ivy” during beyonce’s performance,” another wrote.

The performance wasn’t universally cheered, however, with some fans insisting Blue Ivy is being forced into the entertainment space.

“Stop trying to make Blue Ivy happen. We want talent. Not nepotism,” someone suggested.

Blue Ivy Is Beginning To Make A Name For Herself

Beyoncé was performing in her Houston hometown and earned lots of props as well. But she drew some detractors over her revealing outfit, with reports claiming parents turned off the Netflix stream when they noticed what she was wearing.

She also took some heat after performing a gun gesture with her fingers, the likes of which always get an NFL player flagged and fined.

Meanwhile, although there were several aspects to critique, the 12-year-old has continued to attract plaudits.

This wasn’t her first rodeo either, as she joined her mother for the Renaissance World Tour last year.

Beyoncé revealed she was initially against the idea.

“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” she explained in the concert documentary ‘Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,’ which was part of a Netflix deal.

It doesn’t appear she has any issues with taking her kid to work now.

Luka Doncic Receives Concerning Injury Update That Might Shatter Mavs Star’s MVP Hopes This Season

Luka Doncic has suffered a major blow to his NBA aspirations this season. One of the major pillars of strength for the Dallas Mavericks, Doncic, will be missing one full month of action. In one of the heartbreaking incidents, the Slovenian suffered a calf strain while playing against the Timberwolves. As the Mavericks lost the match 99-105, Doncic, too, was taken under medical supervision.

After careful evaluation, Doncic was deemed unfit to play for a month. His status will be revisited once again in four weeks, as per the latest reports. “Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will be re-evaluated in one month after sustaining a left calf strain on Christmas Day, sources tell ESPN,” wrote Shams Charania on his X account. This update means that the 2019 Rookie of the Year will be missing 16 games for his team.

Now, the Mavericks would surely bear the brunt of their star prospect sitting out. But the missed games might shatter Doncic’s MVP dreams. The 5x All-Star has been in some serious form this season. Doncic has averaged 28.1 points, 7.8 assists, and 8.3 rebounds so far. Thus, it was highly expected that Doncic would be a primary candidate in the MVP race. Unfortunately, with the Slovenian suffering the injury, he might have to wait for another year to fulfill his dreams. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks star recently delved into the possibility of him winning the NBA MVP.

Luka Doncic Gives Priority To His Team

Luka Doncic’s calf injury is not the only injury he has suffered this season. Right from the beginning, the 25-year-old has been ravaged with injuries. In the initial months, Doncic missed six games due to a wrist injury. Next up, a heel contusion resulted in the 5x All-Star sitting out for a couple of games. While these breaks cause a major barrier to his MVP chances, Doncic remains fairly unperturbed.
