As a Black woman, I saw that moment a little differently—it actually felt super familiar. That look from Grandma Knowles? Very much 'Black grandma energy'—firm, but full of love. It’s not unusual in our families for elders to keep younger ones in check, even in the middle of joyful moments. Just a cultural thing that might look odd from the outside.

I don't think it's a Black grandma thing, it's just a grandma thing. Grandmas keep an eye on things when mom is busy.

These hateful posts about a child are incredibly bizarre and highly disturbing.

If I found out that my kids grew up to be adults that publicly bashed and commented on young teens, I’d first try to evaluate what went wrong with their lives. Did I do something that resulted in this odd behavior?

Be better humans than this, guys.

The right wing hate Beyonce and Jayz. They did a lot to support Black Lives Matter and that is so offensive to racists. That idiot Marjorie Crazy Green said people who donated to bail money for protesters were terrorists who should be imprisoned. Beyonce and Jayz contributed a lot of money for bail for poor people. Racists HATE that.

You are absolutely right. Why do I bother trying to reason with those who are too far gone to be reasoned with?

It's not racist to recognize when a young teen is being exploited. You should care more about how young girls and teens of any background are being treated.

I have to agree. I was treated like the adult in the family as a teen and I see her acting the same way. The Knowles family should understand why it’s important to let kids be kids so it’s disappointing that they having the 13-year-old take this role. Watch how the 13-year-old scolds /corrects The young sibling. She’s more focused on that than enjoying the moment.

You are really projecting. Blue Ivy stepping in as a big sister for two seconds doesn’t mean she’s being parentified. Beyoncé and Jay-Z literally have a whole team around them at all times; nannies, security, staff, etc. No one’s expecting Blue to raise her siblings. She’s just being a normal older sister during a big moment.

Exactly! The egos and arrogance of these posters who are comparing this child’s experience to their own is mind-blowing. To think that you have any idea about how this family operates, their experiences or anything that is going on inside of this child’s head is ridiculous.

+1000.

So many lame excuses for the exploitation and sexualization of a girl who just turned 13 in January.

Those long, heavy braids and whipping her head around like that are going to give Blue Ivy traction alopecia before she even hits puberty. That’s a real tragedy!

Actually, there are moments where you can clearly see how deeply Blue Ivy feels things, she just expresses emotion differently than people expect. In this video, the crowd chants her name and she takes out her earpiece, visibly overwhelmed. You can see how emotional and real it is for her ; she even cries. Not everyone beams with a huge smile all the time, especially under the spotlight from such a young age. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on behind her eyes.

It's giving 'make a wish.' Very uncomfortable.

This is so desperate and exploitative. Without going this nobody would be talking about middle aged Beyonce's tour.

Whats wrong with her stage outfits?

The makeup, the hair extensions, the huge hoop earrings. All of it. She looks more like a 16-17 year old here. This little girl literally just turned 13 in January. This is disgusting! But YMMV.

She’s a performer on a global stage, not at a middle school dance. That’s what performers do, including kids in dance recitals and theater productions. It’s stage makeup, styled hair, and accessories, which are totally normal in the context of touring with one of the biggest artists in the world.

Puff Diddy Daddy and his friends were called artists, too.

She didn’t scold her at all. Are we watching the same thing?

Did you see her dress for The Lion King premiere when she was 12? Full on cleavage out with a sweetheart neckline. Not appropriate.

Well in fairness, some companies and teachers are more mindful of age appropriate, not highly sexualized styles for the dancers based on age. This is thing you see in entertainment sonetimes....the content does not really match the emotional development of the performer. That's why she may look a bit stilted. I saw this with my daughter, now a dance major in college when she was around age 13. The theme of given dance was something like "female power" but really what did she truly understand about that at a young 13? She wasn't even menstruating yet. So yes she looked a bit flat and there was little energy behind the dancing. It took years to grow into that kind of performance. Same process here too perhaps. I think it's just a bit off of her developmental level.
