When Beyoncé announced she was pregnant with first child Blue Ivy Carter at the MTV Video Music Awards, her fans were ecstatic. The singer was three years into her marriage to Jay-Z and touched her stomach during her performance. She told the crowd, “I have a surprise.”
Blue was born on Jan. 7, 2012, and what’s no surprise is what a talented and accomplished young woman she has become in the last 12 years. She has followed in both her mother and father’s footsteps as an award-winning singer, dancer, and artist. She’s also a big sister to her twin siblings, Rumi and Sir, who were born in June 2017.
Here’s everything to know about the eldest Carter and her path so far.
