Blue Ivy Looks So Grown Up At The 2024 Grammys

As Jay-Z started his speech with Blue Ivy Carter by his side, he reminded people that he used to call his Grammy trophy a "sippy cup for Blue." But then he said what everyone was thinking, "Blue's grown now, she doesn't take sippy cups," as reported by People. He also noted that Blue Ivy even has her own Grammy — she won for Best Music Video for "Brown Skin Girl" in 2021.

Blue Ivy has been having a moment over the past several months. Most notably, during the summer of 2023, she came out on stage a number of times to perform with her mother during the "Renaissance" tour. People loved seeing her then, and we loved seeing her looking so grown up sharing the stage with her dad.

Jay-Z brought up another "young lady" during his speech as he threw a little shade. As he talked about knowing that subjectivity played a role in who won a Grammy and who didn't, he said, "I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year." The young lady in question was not Blue Ivy, but rather his wife, Beyoncé, who was seated in the crowd wearing a white cowboy hat. Beyoncé made history at the 2023 Grammys when she took her trophy count to 32, making her the most decorated female artist of all time.
