Blue Ivy Carter is hoping her portrayal of Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King will resonate with Black and brown women everywhere. Following her and Beyoncé’s appearance at the film’s Los Angeles premiere, “Good Morning America” aired a behind-the-scenes look of the mother-daughter duo recording their lines on Tuesday (Dec. 10).
“Don’t stare at me,” Blue Ivy said, to which the “BREAK MY SOUL” artist responded, “I can’t help it. You’re just too beautiful, girl.” The footage, dated March 2023, showed the two in the studio together. Beyoncé even wipes tears from her eyes at one point: “Give me a second. I can’t believe that’s my baby. That’s so amazing.”
“Seeing Blue as Kiara and hearing her voice come out of that character… it was really hard to focus and do my job after that,” the mother of three reflected on the moment. “So, I was like, ‘Hold up, guys. Y’all have to give me a second.’ I have to digest that.”
