The singer kicked off her tour for ‘Cowboy Carter’ at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California last night (April 28). Clocking in at nearly three hours, Bey performed 36 songs celebrating her most recent album of the same name, which dropped last year in March – you can check out the full setlist here.

Notably, the singer also brought out her daughter Rumi during her performance of the song ‘Protector’. Rumi is the youngest daughter of Beyoncé and twins with brother Sir.

Sporting a gold dress with matching gold cowboy boots, Rumi was serenaded by her mother throughout the song, which saw Bey singing: “And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way / Born to be your protector”.

Hugging Rumi on stage with her eldest Blue Ivy cradling the pair above them, She went on to wave excitedly to the crowd as Blue Ivy guided her off the stage.
