A standout moment of the opening night was the heartfelt appearance of her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-blue-ivy-dance-video.html/”>daughter, Blue Ivy Carter</a>. At just 13 years old, Blue Ivy showcased her growing talent, joining her mother on stage for choreographed dances.

Here’s what everyone’s talking about.</p>

<p id=”par-2_49″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-updates-dolly-partons-jolene-cowboy-carter.html/”>Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter”</a> tour is taking the music world by storm. And fans <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-daughter-blue-ivy-star-power.html/”>can’t stop talking about Blue Ivy Carter</a>. Blue Ivy, 13, showcases her dancing talent alongside her proud mom. And her dance break in “America Has A Problem” from her 2022 “Renaissance” album has everyone talking. </p>
<p id=”par-3_42″>“Damn, the improvement in the way that Blue moves is a sight to see,” a fan on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1kaev1s/blue_ivy_performing_during_the_opening_night_of/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> wrote. “You can tell that she had been working hard and practicing. Her movement flows better compared to her first few shows during the <em>Renaissance</em> tour.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_29″>Blue Ivy’s catwalk before Beyoncé’s 2006 song “Deja Vu” also shocked fans. Beyoncé’s daughter danced in front of the rest of the backup dancers as “Deja Vu” played. </p>
<p id=”par-5_39″>In addition to Blue Ivy’s incredible performances, Rumi Carter made an appearance. Rumi and Blue Ivy stood with their mother as she sang “Protector.” Rumi has never appeared onstage with Beyoncé before, marking a first for the famous family.</p>
<p id=”par-6_21″>While fans are loving every moment of the “Cowboy Carter” tour, Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” tour isn’t getting the same love. </p>
<p id=”par-7_19″>“The contrast between this and what Katy Perry is currently doing is stunning,” a fan on Reddit wrote. </p>
<p id=”par-8_14″>“Bey always puts in the work,” another fan wrote. “Katy is lazy in comparison.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_24″>“Tickets expensive these days, so you want someone to put on a show if you’re shelling out the money,” another fan commented. “Beyoncé delivers.”</p>

<p id=”par-10_64″>While Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour has received nothing but raving reviews, Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” tour has been met with intense criticism. While some fans appreciate the futuristic concept and Perry’s performance, others have expressed disappointment. Critics have labeled the choreography as “cringe” and “low-effort.” Additionally, the tour’s reliance on AI-generated visuals has sparked irony, given the show’s narrative about battling an evil AI. </p>
<p id=”par-11_47″>This criticism comes on the heels of Perry’s Blue Origin space flight. Many of Perry’s fans criticized her choice to use resources for an 11-minute ride to space. The pop star responded to the online criticism and claimed her critics like to make her a “human piñata.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_77″>“Please know I am OK, I have done a lot work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me,” she posted to <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DJCPC7SOyjw/c/18499012462011832/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>. “My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer, ‘No one can make you believe something about yourself that you don’t already believe about yourself,’ and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it’s an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_48″>“When the ‘online’ world tries to make me a human piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed,” she added.</p>

<p id=”par-14_25″>Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour is not having trouble with ticket sales. According to <a href=”https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beyonce-cowboy-carter-tour_n_68111c8ee4b072224dc5058e” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>HuffPost</a>, LiveNation stated that 94% of “Cowboy Carter” tickets were sold. </p>
<p id=”par-15_58″>On the contrary, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/katy-perry-disappointed-ticket-sales-leaving-american-idol-not-taylor-swift-source-says.html/”>Katy Perry is allegedly “disappointed”</a> with how her tour is selling. “Expectations were high, and she is disappointed by the lack of interest in some countries and venues,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/13821257/katy-perry-cancel-lifetimes-tour-dates-disappointing-ticket-sales/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The U.S. Sun</a>. “Some people involved thought it would be a massive wave with ticket sales exploding quickly, but sadly, she is not Taylor Swift.”</p>
