Blue Ivy joins Beyonce during “My Power” and dances her heart out.

“It makes me super proud, and I still get goosebumps seeing her walk onstage,” Jay-Z reflected. “It’s because Blue was born into a life she didn’t [choose]. Since she was born, she’s been in scrutiny and in the public eye and everybody having an opinion. Even [as a] little girl and how she keeps her hair.”

He explained, “So for her to be on that stage and reclaim her power, and the song is called ‘My Power,’ you can’t write a better story. And then watching her grow in it. She came out in front of 80,000 people.”

He noted that his daughter was super nervous, but she knew she wanted to do it.
