But she has perfect pitch. If she hears a song, she’ll be like ‘Play it again’ and then she’ll teach herself.”He continued, “That’s just talent. She doesn’t work at that. She worked at this, and it makes me proud that she fought for something that she really wanted to do. I don’t think we’re going to be able to get her off that stage now.”Blue Ivy is also a famously talented dancer, first appearing onstage with her mother for Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023 and then again in 2025 for the Cowboy Carter World Tour.
