Could there be three generations of Knowles women on the stage in the next Beyoncé tour? There will be if her daughter, Blue Ivy, gets her way.
Eleven-year-old Blue Ivy has been appearing as a dancer in her mom’s Renaissance tour, which just wrapped up. And now Tina Knowles — who is Beyoncé’s mom and Blue’s grandma — tells Page Six that she might be joining the show as well.
“Blue tells me all the time, ‘Grandma, you should come up there…’ And I’m like. ‘When am I going to find time to practice?,” Tina told us at the Angel Ball Monday night, “Because, you know, us old folks got to practice a lot longer than them. She learned it in like a week.”
The tween — who is, of course, the superstar’s daughter with Jay Z — has appeared several times during the world tour, often at the point when Beyoncé sings the line about her “bloodline” from her track “My Power” from the soundtrack to Disney’s remake of “The Lion King.”
Tina has been among her biggest fans. After one performance, she posted a video of the cameo and wrote, “Blue Ivy performed in the front of a huge audience!! And yes, I am a proud grandma❤️❤️ I am truly amazed by the courage that this brave, talented, beautiful 11-year-old exhibited last night!”
She added, “There were almost 70,000 people in that audience. She danced with professional dancers, grown folks, she did complicated choreography and moves that they rehearsed for months! She rehearsed and learned this in a little over a week. She was so smooth with it! Has such a smooth swag (reminds me of the great Aaliyah❤️) So cool with it! She is the coolest most confident 11-year-old I know!!!!”
And Tina says she hasn’t ruled out an appearance of her own. “Maybe one of these times,” she told us.
Meanwhile, Tina joked that she’s glad that the sold-out tour has to come because it means friends will stop asking her for tickets.
“Oh God. Everyday people asked me for tickets to the concerts,” she told Page Six, “Ten times a day… It’s not my tickets to give away! It is not my tour.”
Tina, 69, walked the red carpet at Denise Rich’s cancer research fundraiser at Cipriani Wall Street, and told us she gives herself regular exams because she has lost two close friends to breast cancer.
Robin Thicke performed hit hit “Blurred Lines” at the bash and Mary J. Blige performed several songs and Jermaine Dupri DJ’d. Tamron Hall hosted the event, which raised $2.8 million.
