The film, which gives the viewers a sneak-peak into her Renaissance World Tour, sheds light on how Blue Ivy’s appearances alongside her mother during the tour have affected the duo. Beyoncé also states that the idea of Blue Ivy joining her onstage did not receive the best response initially.

Beyoncé Says Her Daughter Channeled Negativity To Improve Herself
In the film, Beyoncé opens up about how Blue Ivy was heavily critiqued for her dancing. The singer tells in the film how her daughter, a rather young performer, took notice of negative comments after her first surprise appearance at her mother’s Paris performance.
However, she also lauds how her resilient child decided to turn the negative criticism into motivation. Beyoncé says the 11-year-old started working on polishing her dancing skills after the negative social media comments.
Beyoncé reveals that the original plan was to get her daughter on stage just for one performance. As a mother, she says she was skeptical that her teenager performing in front of thousands of people would not exactly be a suitable environment for her.
Recalling their early conversations, Beyoncé says in the film, “She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no.” Blue Ivy’s determination and her eventual progress during the tour made Beyoncé change her mind, she added.
