Blue Ivy Carter is officially a Grammy winner, the Recording Academy announced on March 14. Not only did the 9-year-old daughter of U.S. entertainment celebrities Beyoncé and Jay-Z take home her first-ever gold trophy from the annual event, but she made history. Carter is one of the youngest nominees to ever win a Grammy. She is just one year older than the youngest-ever Grammy honoree, Leah Peasall, whose group The Peasall Sisters won album of the year, soundtrack in 2001. Carter earned the award, along with her famous mom, for best music video for “Brown Skin Girl.” The hit track also features SAINt JHN and WizKid. As fans might recall, the “Spirit” singer debuted the empowering single for “The Lion King: The Gift” album and later created a video for the track in “Black Is King.” Others nominated in the category were Drake’s “Life is Good,” Anderson .Paak’s “Lockdown,” Harry Styles’ “Adore You” and Woodkid’s “Goliath.” Carter isn’t the only one making waves during music’s biggest night. Beyoncé is the most nominated artist for the 2021 Grammys. Back in June, Carter earned her first-ever BET Award for “Brown Skin Girl.” Later that year, she narrated the audiobook for the New York Times’ bestseller “Hair Love” by Matthew A. Cherry. In 2018, she proved she had an eye for design when she bid US$19,000 on a masterpiece at her grandma Tina’s Wearable Art Gala. Last November, Beyoncé opened up about motherhood in an interview with British Vogue, saying she has “become a better listener” because of her kids. “Blue is very smart, and she is aware that there is a shift, but it is my job as a parent to do my best to keep her world as positive and safe as can be for an 8-year-old,” the Grammy winner said at the time, adding, “My best advice is to love them harder than ever. I let my daughter know that she is never too young to contribute to changing the world.” (SD-Agencies) |
