Riley Curry Put Our Dance Moves To Shame With Her Choreography To Beyoncé's 'Already'

The little star's fun video had the internet clamoring for more.

August 10, 2020 at 8:24 pm

Riley Curry has been a fan-favorite since she took over her father Steph Curry's postgame press conference six years ago.

The 8-year-old has stolen people's heart since then, and brought the house down on Saturday when her mother, Ayesha Curry, posted a video to Instagram of her dancing to Beyoncé's hit song "Already."

Riley is already well-known for her dance moves but got a lot of love for her latest video.

A little Saturday inspiration. ???? My baby girls. They are LOVING “Black Is King”.

A post shared by Ayesha Curry (@ayeshacurry) on Aug 8, 2020 at 11:02am PDT

People on Twitter and Instagram immediately fell in love with the video and were astonished by Riley's moves.

The video features Riley executing impressive choreography during the song alongside her 5-year-old sister Ryan sitting by in sunglasses. Stars like Gabrielle Union commented on the video.

The video drew more than 2.5 million views on Instagram and over 1.5 million views on Twitter.

Many of the jokes revolved around how good Riley's dancing is compared to what people imagined she would take from her parents.

I highkey didn’t anticipate this much rhythm coming from Steph & Ayesha’s genes ????

Some hoped the video led to Riley being able to meet Beyoncé and her children.

I would love to see Blue & Riley become besties later in life

The fun video comes after Beyoncé debut "Black Is King," a visual album featuring the hit songs from her recent Lion King soundtrack.
