It seems like just yesterday, Beyonce dropped the mic after her performance at the 2011 VMA’s and rubbed her belly to announce her pregnancy to the world. While Queen Bey is notoriously private about her personal life, it may be difficult for her to keep Blue Ivy out of the public eye as she already exudes star quality like her iconic parents. From being featured on her parent’s songs and music videos to candid pictures and video clips, Blue Ivy Carter is growing up royally right in front of our eyes. To celebrate her birthday, here are 8 times that Blue Ivy Carter stole the show.

In Beyoncé’s 2013 “Life Is But A Dream” HBO documentary, she gave her fans a glimpse into her private life and shared the first-ever released photos of Blue Ivy.

Blue Ivy The Rapper on ’4:44’
It was only a matter of time before Blue Ivy found her way into the studio, but no one was expecting to hear her freestyle on a track off of her father’s 4:44 album. Jay-Z shared a sound bite of Blue’s heartbeat and soft cry on his 2012 single, “Glory.” However, in 2017 Blue’s “Boom Shacka Lacka” freestyle was one of the highlights of the highly acclaimed album. Blue still hasn’t seen a ceiling in her whole life.

Formation/Spirit
“I like my baby’s hair with baby hair and afros.” The Formation song lyrics were a nod to Blue Ivy, so it was only right to see Blue make a cameo appearance in the music video.

Memes
Blue Ivy appears to have a sassy innocence about her that leads to hilarious photo ops that turn into popular memes.
