Blue Ivy Carter (born January 7, 2012) is an American singer. She is the first-born daughter of musicians Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Two days after her birth, Time dubbed Carter "the most famous baby in the world."[1] That same day, her breathing, cries and coos were featured on the song "Glory", by her father Jay-Z, which earned her a Guinness World Record for being the youngest person to have a charted song on any Billboard chart.[2][3] She has been the subject of depictions in media, including impersonations on Saturday Night Live and RuPaul's Drag Race.

In 2020, she was featured on "Brown Skin Girl", a single by her mother Beyoncé, alongside Wizkid and Saint Jhn.[4] The song won her accolades including an NAACP Image Award;[5] the BET Her Award, making her the youngest winner of a BET Award; and a Grammy Award for Best Music Video for the same song,[6] which earned her another Guinness World Record for being the youngest individually credited Grammy Award winner,[7] and the second youngest overall.[8] Carter is slated to make her feature film debut in 2024 in Mufasa: The Lion King, as a voice actress portraying Princess Kiara.[9]
