Blue Ivy Carter steals the show at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards

Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, stole the show at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024. The power couple attended the event accompanied by their fashion-forward daughter. Beyoncé looked stunning in a cream cowboy hat and a black-and-silver checked jacket, while Jay-Z opted for an elegant all-black look. However, it was Blue Ivy who captivated everyone’s attention with her lovely ball gown. Her centre-parted hair perfectly complemented the ensemble, and she carried a matching clutch and white platform boots.

The 12-year-old Blue Ivy made a memorable appearance on stage when she joined her father to accept the prestigious Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was recognized for his influential contributions to the music industry. With humor and pride, the doting father playfully mentioned Blue Ivy’s own achievements, jokingly referring to her “sippy cup” days. He proudly stated, ‘And she has her own Grammys.’

Despite the excitement surrounding the awards ceremony, disappointment loomed for Nigerian artists as none received any accolades. Several Nigerian artists, including Davido, Burna Boy, Asake, Olamide, and Ayra Starr, were nominated across various categories. However, it was a South African artist who emerged victorious, surpassing Nigeria’s contenders. This outcome generated significant reactions on social media, particularly within the Nigerian online community.
