It is not easy to outshine an A-list singer.
But even Beyoncé would admit all eyes were on her adorable rarely-seen daughter Rumi during the Cowboy Carter tour this week.
The seven-year-old made her stage debut on Monday at the opening night of her mother’s tour in LA, and Rumi looked more than happy to be soaking up the spotlight.
She was spotted waving enthusiastically to the crowd of thousands, and even struck a confident pose at one point, before sharing a cuddle with her pop star mother and sister Blue Ivy, 13.
The youngster was on stage for a performance of the Cowboy Carter track Protector, which she’s featured as a guest vocalist on.
The hitmaker notably didn’t bring out Rumi’s twin brother Sir Carter after making efforts to keep him out of the spotlight.

Fans went wild over Rumi stealing the spotlight from her mother and older sister, as she is primed to follow in their footsteps.
One wrote on social media platform X: ‘Rumi LOVES the spotlight and she was so excited to be up there’;
‘Rumi is my favourite thing about this Beyoncé tour’; ‘Rumi is so adorable’;
‘Beyoncé singing to Rumi with so much love & happiness in her eyes… and Rumi taking out her earpiece just to hear how loud the crowd is. literally the best the sweetest moment. their connection’
Protector peaked at No. 76 on the Hot 100 last year, making Rumi the youngest female artist to ever crack the Billboard singles chart at just six years old.
The previous record holder was her big sister Blue, who became the youngest female artist on the Hot 100 in 2019 when she appeared on her mother’s song Brown Skin Girl at the age of seven.
Rumi is featured at the start of the song, which is the fourth track on Cowboy Carter.
The little girl left the singing and rapping to her mother, and she was instead featured in what sounds like a repurposed home recording.

Beyoncé wows in denim shorts before she's joined by daughter Rumi amid 'flop' Cowboy Carter tour
‘Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?’ Rumi asks haltingly, pronouncing the last word more like ‘wullaby.’
The seven-year-old is clearly being primed to follow big sister Blue, who is already one of the biggest child stars on the planet.
Blue, a two-time Guinness World Record holder, might only be 13, but she’s already garnered a Grammy Award, MTV VMA Moon Man, NAACP Image Award, Voice Arts Award, and two BET Awards.
She 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.
The talented teen has also collaborated with her famous parents on a number of hit songs.
She made her musical debut on dad Jay-Z’s 2012 single Glory, which made Blue the youngest person in history to ever chart on Billboard.
In 2019, Blue featured on Beyonce’s Lion King single Brown Skin Girl, which reached No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Last year, Blue made her big screen acting debut by voicing Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King.
Rumi already broke her sister Blue’s Guinness World Record for being the youngest female artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100

‘If I told my younger self that I was in a movie, I’d never believe myself,’ Blue said in an interview with Disney Studios.
‘It’s just a really amazing experience and I feel like everybody that’s a part of this is so helpful and supportive,’ she continued.
‘I’m really happy for girls who look like me all around the world are able to watch this movie and hear and see themselves in it.’
Beyonce officially kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday night.
From there, the pop superstar will perform across the US and Europe before closing out in Las Vegas on July 26.
But when it comes to shifting tickets Beyoncé is struggling compared to her previous stadium tours.
Blue might only be 13, but she’s already garnered a Grammy Award, MTV VMA, NAACP Image Award, Voice Arts Award, and two BET Awards
There were more than 3,000 seats available at SoFi Stadium last week, with huge numbers still available mere moments before she took the stage on Monday night, according to seat maps on Ticketmaster.
Shortly after the Single Ladies singer announced her tour in February, fans quickly complained about the jaw-dropping prices of tickets, which ranged from hundreds to even thousands of dollars.
But last week, one fan claimed to have found resale tickets in the nosebleed section of the star’s SoFi Stadium show for as low as $20.
They then compared it to the cost of one of the limited edition Minecraft Movie Big Mac Meals from McDonald’s, which was around the same price point.
