Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s baby girl was bestowed her own hashtag after her appearance at the 2018 Grammys show in New York. Seated between her famous parents, Blue Ivy looked precious in a white ensemble and silver shoes.

Despite the night’s star power, Blue Ivy seem bored at times. It was her reaction as her parents clapped during Camila Cabello’s powerful speech, though, that seemed to draw the most attention.

The princess of musical royalty seemed to gently, but firmly, ask her parents to stop clapping.

We guess that shows who rules the Carter household.

Twitter, of course, had a ball. The hashtag #blueivy was trending.

The Carters recently welcomed twins Sir and Rumi into the household. Bet they listen to Blue Ivy, too.
