During Beyoncé’s Rennaissance World Tour, Blue Ivy showed off her amazing dance moves, and, of course, Jay-Z was always there to support his girls. Videos of Blue’s dancing are going viral all over the internet, and it seems we’re looking at a future pop icon. Her father recently shared that he even got “goosebumps” watching her perform.
Jay-Z’s Proud Father Moment
In a recent interview with CBS Mornings‘ Gayle King, Jay-Z mentioned his daughter’s performances and shared he got goosebumps every time he watched her dancing. He also added that Blue Ivy was very passionate about her work, and he was fully supporting her decision to be on stage.
Jay-Z also shared that dancing on stage made Blue Ivy more confident in herself. Ever since she was born, the youngster has been the center of attention. Performing on this tour was an opportunity for her to reclaim her power and own identity. The rapper also believes this was his wife’s best tour yet.
The Carters’ Power
Blue Ivy appeared in a Renaissance tour show on May 26 show in Paris. Since then, she has been included in every “My Power” and “Black Parade” performance, dancing alongside Beyoncé. Blue was also featured on the “Brown Skin Girl” album. It even got her a Grammy award back in 2021.
Blue Ivy has collaborated with her parents on other projects, too. When she was only five, she appeared on Jay-Z’s album 4:44, with a song called “Blue’s Freestyle/We Family.” Beyoncé and Jay-Z also have two twins, Rumi and Sir, who are six years old. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get to see them on stage, too, someday. Apparently, music power runs in the family.
98 Degrees Says Taylor Swift Inspired Them to Re-Record Their Masters
The ’90s boy band 98 Degrees is about to re-record some of their classic hits. The brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre revealed that the person who inspired them to do it was none other than Taylor Swift after she started re-recording her own albums.
98 Degrees and Their Comeback
98 Degrees shared that they were working on a new project. Nick, one of the members, revealed that they were going to re-record five of the band’s mega hits. They are also about to release five new songs and a new single. Jeff shared that the band had been thinking about doing it for a long time.
Due to the success of the group throughout the years, it’s only natural for them to re-record their masters. They also added that Taylor Swift was the one who had “brought it to the forefront.” The band’s fans were obviously really keen on the idea, and that’s how the final decision was made. Drew believes that Swift can also inspire other artists to do the same and bring their classic hits back to life.
Taylor Swift’s Impact
Taylor Swift has had a huge impact on artists after she herself decided to take ownership of her older hits. Now many singers want to follow her steps and re-record their masters. 98 Degrees believes that fans have become very accepting and supportive of reviving old tracks.
Last month, the band teased a reunion, just like NSYNC did when they reunited for their 2023 MTV VMAs performance, and released a new single after 20 years of solo activities. When asked about how they feel about NSYNC’s reunion, the members said that they “stole the thunder,” and they were overall very happy for the group’s comeback. Eventually, after all the jokes, 98 Degrees expressed their support of all boy bands like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, claiming that if one succeeded, it would be a success for all of them.
