Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's eldest child - daughter Blue Ivy Carter - eclipsed her 5ft6in frame while dancing side by side during the epic NFL halftime performance at NRG Stadium in her Houston hometown on Christmas day.
The 43-year-old pop diva and her beleaguered husband Jay-Z will celebrate their 'gorgeous baby girl' officially becoming a teenager on January 7 when she turns 13.
Blue coordinated with Beyoncé in all-white western wear as she served back-up dancer duties for the climactic, closing number - Texas Hold 'Em.
Knowles-Carter gave her precocious nepo-baby a discreet shout out mid-song when she changed the word 'boy' to 'Blue' in the lyric: 'Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can't read your mind.'
Indeed, after the 32-time Grammy winner and Blue two-stepped and line-danced with the rest of the group they interlocked arms for a do-si-do, square-dance moment.
The two-time Guinness World Record holder might only be 12 but she's already garnered a Grammy Award, MTV VMA Moon Man, NAACP Image Award, Voice Arts Award, and two BET Awards.
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter's eldest child - daughter Blue Ivy Carter - eclipsed her 5ft6in frame while dancing side by side during the epic NFL halftime performance at NRG Stadium in her Houston hometown on Christmas day
Blue previously danced back-up for Beyoncé's songs My Power and Black Parade during her $579.8M-grossing, 56-date Renaissance World Tour last year.
Knowles-Carter certainly sleighed - performing a 15-minute, eight-song medley during the football game where the Baltimore Ravens absolutely creamed the Houston Texans 31-2.
The Texan songstress also invited Post Malone and Shaboozey onstage to perform with her during the Netflix-streamed concert.
Beyoncé raised eyebrows using a finger-gun gesture just as a big 'Bang' banner unfurled beneath her platform, a move which is illegal for NFL players to make on the field.
Noticeably absent from the family festivities was the 55-year-old Roc Nation founder, who supported his prolific daughter at the December 9th premiere of Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King because she made her acting debut voicing Kiara.
Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) is in the midst of a legal war against attorney Tony Buzbee, whose Jane Doe client accused him of raping her, at age 13, in 2000 alongside Diddy in a civil lawsuit.
'We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z's really strong response to that,' Roger Goodell said at a December 11th press conference.
'We know, obviously, that litigation is happening. But from our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.'
The 65-year-old NFL commissioner famously hired the Brooklyn-born rap mogul to be the live music entertainment strategist in 2019, which is precisely how Knowles-Carter scored her televised gig Wednesday.

Jay-Z also serves as executive producer of the halftime show, having been instrumental in picking Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020, The Weeknd in 2021, Dr. Dre in 2022, Rihanna in 2023, Usher in 2024, and Kendrick Lamar for 2025 (pictured)

On September 26, Knowles-Carter lost all 12 trophies she was nominated for her eighth studio album at the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards.
This, after the Oscar-nominated songwriter - who gets 55.2M monthly listeners on Spotify -shockingly received zero nominations at the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards.
And while country music industry elites went out of their way to snub her, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter became her eighth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and the first album by a black woman to top the Top Country Albums chart.
Knowles-Carter's first foray into the genre also scored her No. 1 records in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
