Blue Ivy took over the keys at SoFi Stadium on Friday night, joining her dad Jay-Z on piano for “The Story of O.J.” and “Dead Presidents” during the first of his two shows in Inglewood, California.

The 14 year old was the first special guest of the night, and Jay made sure the stadium showed her love. No, seriously, make some noise for the one and only Blue Ivy Carter tonight,” he told the crowd.
Blue Ivy came out in a pink and blue jacket with her curls styled half up and half down, and she played like she had been doing stadiums for years. When she finished, she walked over to her father for a hug, then bowed, blew kisses to the crowd and threw up a peace sign on her way off the stage.
The SoFi run is the final stop of JAŸ-Z 30, the tour celebrating 30 years of “Reasonable Doubt” and 25 years of “The Blueprint.” Blue Ivy first joined her dad on piano at Yankee Stadium in July, when she played “Feelin’ It.” The day after that show, Jay released “Glory,” the 2012 song he made for Blue as a newborn, to streaming platforms for the first time.
This time she switched it up. “The Story of O.J.” comes from Jay’s 2017 album “4:44,” and “Dead Presidents” dates back to the start of his career in the mid 90s.
Fans have watched Blue Ivy grow up on stage, from dancing alongside her mom on the Renaissance World Tour to now holding down the piano for her dad in front of a sold out stadium.
Jay brought out more guests as the night went on. Scarface joined him for “This Can’t Be Life” and “Mind Playing Tricks on Me,” and DJ Khaled and John Legend came out to close the show with “God Did.” Fans also spotted Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams having their own Destiny’s Child reunion in one of the stadium suites.
Jay wraps the tour with his second SoFi show tonight.
