Rumi Carter is switching it up on Beyoncs Cowboy Carter Tour, and the Roomies instantly took notice of the change.It was just less than two weeks ago when Beys youngest daughter was hitting the stage with all the hype, waving at the crowd like she just won her first Grammy. But four shows deep, and baby girl is now serving up a whole new energy. Heres what happened.
On Wednesday, May 7, Rumi popped out at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for her fourth performance alongside Queen Bey and big sis Blue Ivy. As you know, Rumi makes a special appearance during Beys performance of Protector. But this time? The seven-year-old was on a new level of chill. No more wild waves or stares in disbelief at the enormous crowd. Rumi came out holding her mamas hand, hitting fans with a royal wave. IKTR!
As the viral clip continues, Bey gets down on one knee, serenading her baby girl, while Rumi remains cool as a cucumber. She kept it cute with a few more waves, standing front and center while Blue and the tour dancers held it down in the back with the choreo. And when Bey wrapped it up, the ‘Heated’ singer looked at Rumi like only a proud mama could, saying, Beautiful job, baby girl.
But the real tea? Rumi was such a professional; SHE grabbed Blues hand to be led off stage. In her past performances, its Blue who has been guiding her. We see you, Rumi.
The Roomies also spotted a noticeable difference in Rumis demeanor as they flooded the comments section of TSRs post. Peep what some of them had to say

On night two on the ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour, Rumis excitement appeared to have left her grandma, Tina Knowles, somewhat irritated.While Beyonc was trying to shout out her mom for hitting number one on the New York Times’ Best Seller list with her memoir ‘Matriarch,’ Rumi was feeling the energy in the room a bit much. In footage posted by TSR, Rumi can be seen jumping up and down in the middle of Beys speech.
But y’all already know, Miss Tina doesnt play. She gave her granddaughter the classic mama stare — the one that stops you in your tracks when youre acting up as a child. Rumi got checked quickly, and the mood for that split second was “Oop!”
Here’s a closer look at Mama Tina’s reaction:
