Blue Ivy’s Earring Got Stuck in Beyoncé’s Hair on Stage, Unbeknownst to Mom

The show must go on, even when your earring accidentally gets completely tangled in Beyoncé‘s hair. The superstar’s 13-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, found herself in this exact situation on the Cowboy Carter Tour stage earlier this week.

Blue Ivy and little sister Rumi, 7, have been joining Bey on stage in concert, during the singer’s performance of “Protector.” While Rumi sits with Mom, Blue Ivy is seated behind the two for the sweet number, taking part in the choreography alongside Beyoncé’s dancers.

At the Cowboy Carter concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Thursday (May 15), the serene moment was interrupted — at least for Blue Ivy, who realized the earring in her right ear was caught in Beyoncé’s hair.

In a video filmed by a fan in the audience, Blue Ivy’s eyes can be seen widening ever so slightly upon realizing what’s happened.

But the issue was remarkably short-lived, thanks to a swift recovery on the young teen’s part. In fact, she thought to remove the earring from her ear so quickly (rather than work on untangling it) that her mother didn’t even seem to notice anything unusual was going on.

The Cowboy Carter Tour — Beyoncé’s 32-date stadium run that kicked off on April 28 with a five-show stint at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, that grossed $55.7 million — continues through July 26. Eldest child Blue Ivy memorably takes the stage for “Déjà Vu,” for which the young talent leads an impressive dance routine.

Beyoncé returns to Soldier Field tonight (May 17), following a weather-delayed performance at the stadium’s first of three dates Thursday night.
