The Renaissance World Tour wrapped up on Sunday after 56 shows held in 17 different countries and half a billion dollars generated. The global event was Beyoncé’s ninth concert tour and included several viral moments, such as the mute challenge, eclectic designer stage outfits and flawless choreography executed by Les Twins.
Blue Ivy, Beyoncé’s firstborn daughter, gained fan popularity throughout the tour. The 11-year-old posed as a backup dancer for her mother. She made her debut on May 26 at a tour stop in Paris’ Stade de France. Blue Ivy performed on stage with the rest of the dance crew to the tracks “My Power” and “Black Parade.”
Her fans, who call themselves the Ivy League, stitched together a clip of her first performance with her last. The comparison quickly went viral as fans noticed her evolution in skill and confidence while performing in front of thousands of people.
Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, took to social media to congratulate her granddaughter by reposting the video.
