Blue Ivy Carter is one of those kids that has grown up in the spotlight. She was famous from before she was born and she has been famous every second she has been alive. It’s hard to be any other way when your parents are Jay-Z and Beyoncé, one of the best rappers ever and one of the best singers ever—and undoubtedly one of the most influential couples in music.
For Blue Ivy Carter, however, it’s not just about who her parents are. The girl is working hard to make her own name, and though she’s only 12, she’s been doing that for a while. We’ve indeed seen her grow up in front of our very eyes, and we’ve been privy to her talent from a very young age. Two days after her birth 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.

In 2015, she appeared as part of the choir on the Coldplay song “Up&Up” from their album A Head Full of Dreams. Then, in 2019, she was featured on the song “Brown Skin Girl” by her mother Beyoncé, a song that would go on to win a Grammy Award for Best Music Video. She will make her film debut in Mufasa: The Lion King, portraying Princess Kiara.
Her recent appearance on the Mufasa: The Lion King red carpet left people wondering not just how old Blue Ivy is but how tall she is. Here are the answers to both questions
How Tall is Blue Ivy Carter?
Blue Ivy Carter, who is currently 12 years old, is around 5’7’’ or maybe even 5’8”. That’s a little taller than her mom, Beyoncé, who stands at 5’6’’ and in the vicinity of reaching her dad, Jay-Z, who stands at 6’2’’. Considering Blue Ivy Carter is 12, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that she could end up as tall as her father when she’s reached her full height. She already looks almost as tall as him in heels, which is what she’s wearing in the pictures we see for the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere.
Her mom Beyoncé posted a picture of Blue Ivy from the Mufasa premiere on her Instagram, with a caption that read, “My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
Blue Ivy was accompanied by her mom, her dad and her grandmother Tina Knowles to the premiere. The family made no mention of the allegations against Blue Ivy’s father, Jay-Z, outside of Jay-Z’s statement, which read, “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!” Jay-Z said in his statement. “My only heartbreak is for my family,” he added, “My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.”
