The pop star, 43, kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour at the start of this week at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles amid troubling ticket sales.

She was joined onstage by her 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, the eldest of the three children the Dreamgirls star shares with her husband Jay-Z.

But while Blue Ivy is no stranger to public appearances with her mother, Rumi made her stage debut at Monday night's concert in a moment that went instantly viral.

Meanwhile Rumi's twin brother Sir, whom Jay-Z and Beyoncé have kept out of the public eye, did not feature in the performance.

Fans flocked to social media to coo over Rumi's adorable entrée into showbiz - while Blue Ivy's reaction to her sister's arrival drew special attention.

Observers zeroed in on a heartwarming moment when Blue Ivy gently tapped her little sister to advise her that it was time to return backstage.

'Thank you Manager Blue Ivy,' joked one fan on Twitter, as another quipped: "manager blue ivy said that’s cute but we gotta keep it professional.'

A third vamped: 'blue is ready to fire them both for playing with her tour like that i know bey was scared for her life but rumi was so cuteeeeee help.'

'Me crying at Rumi on stage but then immediately laughing at Blue tapping Rumi to alert her it’s time to get off stage like the manager she is,' joked a fourth.

Despite making history with her country album at this year's Grammys, it seems Beyonce is still struggling to sell out stadiums, with swathes of seating available just hours before opening night.

The Texas Hold 'Em singer, 43, officially kicked off her 32-stadium Cowboy Carter tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday night. From there, the pop superstar will perform across the US and Europe before closing out in Las Vegas on July 26.

But when it comes to shifting tickets Beyoncé is struggling compared to her previous stadium tours.

There were more than 3,000 seats available at SoFi Stadium last week, with huge numbers still available mere moments before she took the stage on Monday night, according to seat maps on Ticketmaster.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, an inside source maintained that resellers – individuals or businesses that scoop up mass amounts of concert tickets and resell them to fans for exorbitant prices – are largely to blame for limited attendance. 

Still, the insider claimed Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z were remaining hopeful and are 'expecting more of her fans to buy tickets today and in the coming days if resale gets cheaper.'

'Ticket prices could be slashed the evening of some dates to fill the seats if they are noticeably empty,' they added.

There's been much speculation in recent weeks that Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour has seemingly fumbled the bag. 

Shortly after the Single Ladies singer announced her tour in February, fans quickly complained about the jaw-dropping prices of tickets, which ranged from hundreds to even thousands of dollars.

But last week, one fan claimed to have found resale tickets in the nosebleed section of the star's SoFi Stadium show for as low as $20. They then compared it to the cost of one of the limited edition Minecraft Movie Big Mac Meals from McDonald's, which was around the same price point.

'Due to its low demand, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour tickets ($20) are now cheaper than a McDonald's Minecraft meal ($21.39),' they wrote.

Another fan pointed out that some seats for the SoFi Stadium show were going for $27 at one point, although they have since increased to $37 for the cheapest seats.

'LMAO WHAT A FLOP!!' one user replied to the post.

'As a Beyhive I'm really happy that this happened, cause the prices were absolutely ridiculous in the first place,' another fan wrote.

Meanwhile, one Beyoncé fan claimed their floor ticket had been moved by the 'production team' to a different section at SoFi Stadium 'because of an obstructed view of the stage.'

In response, several users wondered whether it was because of the elaborate stage design or if they were moved simply because of small turnout.

Despite the speculation, however, the tour's promoter Live Nation confirmed in a statement to Billboard that Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour is 94 percent sold out across all dates.

Despite rumors circulating about low ticket sales for her Cowboy Carter tour, the album was in fact a huge success when it was released in March last year.

Not only did it top the Billboard 200 chart, but lead single Texas Hold 'Em also hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and the Country chart.

She took home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, marking Beyoncé's first time winning the major category, and Best Country Album, the first Black woman to achieve this feat.

Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour broke records, pulling in $579 million and securing a spot among the top 10 highest-grossing tours in history.

*****

I have been seeing a lot of discourse online regarding the tour, from slow ticket sales to some being upset that she's singing the Star Spangled Banner at a time where we have our 47th president and his band of village idiots single-handedly destroying what's left of our democracy.

My take on her singing the Star Spangled Banner is this. I think people are being extra by calling her a sell out and demanding refunds. If you're going to pay for a ticket to see an artist knowing where they stand artistically and politically, you can't demand your money back because you didn't like how they expressed themselves on stage.

While the Trump administration is busy deporting hispanic immigrants, by Bey singing the National Anthem I believe what she is saying is that the United States of America was built on the backs of immigrants, and immigrants are who keep this country running.

I personally would have preferred if she would have sang Life Every Voice, but the SSB does deliver more of an emotional impact.

As for the tour, I've always felt the show should have followed a more intimate setting, a la Madonna's Madame X tour, or Lady Gaga's promotional The Dive Bar Tour during the Joanne era. Then again Gaga did perform in arenas and some stadiums for the Joanne World tour.

Based on some of the footage where she's riding on a giant horse shoe and at one point hovering over her fans in a corvette over the stadium, the major props and giant jumbotron screens wouldn't be as impactful in smaller venues.

I don't like the fact that we have some comglomerates comparing her ticket sales to Taylor Swift's Eras tour sales. First of all they are two different artists. Secondly, I'm not saying white people don't like Bey's music, but there are far more white people that support Tat Tay than Beyoncé. Third, while Cowboy Carter did well and won a ton of Grammy's, not a lot of people liked the album.

The set list isn't really standing out to me (it's heavy on Cowboy Carter tracks, and some of the classics are abbreviated), and in order for you to have a successful stadium tour, the song choices has to appeal to far more than just your core fan base.

Don't get me wrong I love the edutainment aspect of the album, but the I feel like the BeyHive were far more excited for the Renaissance era than the Cowboy Carter era, hence why you see her regurgitating some of the Renaissance tour stuff into the new tour.

At the end of the day Beyoncé has lots of loyal fans who will support her regardless, and she doesn't ever have to release another album. She can tour off of all the music she's released and be successful that way.

However, if you want to continue to solidify yourself as one of the greatest live performers of our lifetime you need to take a break from touring, take a page out of Lady Gaga's hand book and find you a new creative team that can push your live performances in another direction.
